It was complicated -- so many teams, ... I can see why things get bogged down. I don't know if deadlines are a good thing or not, we were real close.

When you take clubs like Minnesota, Oakland, many of these small-market teams, you're going to have some changeover,

We got bogged down at the 30 too many times,

We cannot win in team situations or in relationships by ourselves. It is like trying to pick up a pencil with only one finger...Even if that one finger is extremely strong, it will prove almost impossible to pick up that pencil unless you use your other fingers or some other part of your hand. Teamwork is a bit like using all of your fingers. Each one is unique and contributes something different, but they unite in pursuit of a common goal.

It came down to what's beneficial for the league to get the most teams in the tournament. But I don't think they envisioned a league with eight teams in the Top 25.

I had three days to screw over Nicodemus Archleone and his crew and get this thing out of my head, without getting myself or my friend killed while I did it.
