Wow, I remember watching 201 fall and wanting our alliance (#3) to select them before you (#2) could. However, we went with a defensive specialist which differed from my opinion that you should go for "all out offence" if they can get quality like 201 that can floor collect. I still think we would have beat you in the semis with 201 if for no other reason than you couldn't replace their scoring, (there was no one even close left). I got involved with the strategy team the next year.
Then again, you probably would have found a way to Einstein as you have the last 4 years. You have directly eliminated us in all 3 rounds of divisional play QF ('09), SF ('06), and F ('08) during that run (why do we keep ending up in the same division?
). At least when we paired up in '04 we made a Div Final run.
