Hey guys, Just thought I'd give an update of our season thus far, since we've had a decisive week.

Wow!  We finally clinched our Round 1 matchup against local rivals, Iowa, by scoring the 22.5 points needed for the victory.  (22.5 - 18.5 currently).  Also earlier in the week we clinched against New York: 11.5 - 1.5.    Well played Team Wisconsin!

The 2-0 record puts us on top of the standings as Washington and New Jersey (first and second from last season) are locked in a tie in their second round match.

In our Round 3 match Washington is off to an early 2-0 lead gained from some timeouts, but with 16.5 points needed for victory it is early days.  Although Washington looks a little stronger on the ratings matchups, it is by no means a mismatch in this big mid season battle.

continued good luck to everyone :)
