One thing I got by watching the VCU on the internet and being at the UTC is when your team is not on the field, this game is suddenly VERY boring to watch. (In most cases...I'm sure when 71 posted that astronomical score, it was a great match to watch regardless of your team affiliation) There were several of us in the Tigerbolt chatroom discussing the regional as it was played, and the overwhelming feeling seemed to be boredom. I'm not entirely sure if that was from the lower score posted by some less experienced teams, or the nature of the game, but I do know that when I was at UTC, when I didn't have my team, or a friend's team on the field, I wasn't nearly as interested in watching as I have been in the past.

Soooo...in short, I think this tends to be an interesting game to play, but a rather boring spectator sport...but of course, feel free to post different )
