Now that I've got my voice back and made it safely back to PA after a lovely 6 hour drive, I'll chime in with my thoughts & thanks from my first Mayhem.

Thank you for such kind words! It's been a wild season Game Announcing 3 districts, BattleCry, and now playing double duty GA/MC @ MiM. I think I might be done for a while, but that's what I said all the way back during week 4 at Rhode Island

Couldn't agree more! Matt had a lot to stay on top of and it definitely didn't help with all of the field faults that occurred. My hat goes off to him for keeping things running all of Saturday!

I can't take the credit for those little plugs. The drive team was hysterical and provided all of the inspiration. They changed it every single match. Like I said, seeing that robot run around the field was one of the most entertaining things I had seen all season!

It was great to work with both you & Brandon, Jay. I'm definitely looking forward to announcing with y'all again soon!
I had a great time at Mayhem and hope to be back again for the next one! Thanks again to 166/9319 and congrats to 133,1519, & 4906 for the win!
