Nationals

Thinking about Nationals recently has made me a little upset. Maybe even a little sad. But I wanted to celebrate the best parts about the tournament (when there's good competition, spirit, and when underdogs win) even if Monster's not playing in it.

Considering Chain placed 3/4 (arguably 3 because they beat the other '3/4' team at the same tournament already) at last year's Nationals, it was hard to believe that they didn't earn a spot higher than 13 going in this year.

Regardless, they and Truck Stop (the DC/Baltimore up and coming team) just both beat the teams seeded way higher than them (the 12th seed beat the 4th seed and the 13th seed beat the 5th seed). I didn't think Truck Stop had it in 'em. Everyone felt that Atlanta was capable of more than 13th place; so that's not much of a surprise.

I'm headed to Kennesaw for a short weekend visit with Kyle. This post will be old news by the time I return to post some more. But its how I'm connecting with Nationals and I just wanted to share that quickly.
