Good. Spend their NIL on golf and not football.
Also could be a transfer or two during the offseason. In and out
7 returning champions, counting Henson
And we're adding Bassett at 141 and have Ferrell at the 285
Our stable is ridiculous
106 team points 💥 💥 💥 💥
LET'S FUCKING GO
Saturday night, March 8 ~10:15 PM east coast/6:15 PM Alaska. Ryan Redington leads the field having just passed through Yentna Station and on the trail towards the village of Skwenta. ~30 miles to the checkpoint there. Mushers will go up the Yentna River almost the entire way. From there, the teams will start to go up hill to the Finger Lake checkpoint as the trail heads up to and over the Alaska Range and into the interior. After Finger Lake, the trail continues to climb to the next checkpoint at Rainy Pass, the highest point on the Iditarod Trail.
Teams are still bunched together and just about all of them will probably stay that way for a while before they start separating. Standings as of ~10:15 PM were:
1. Ryan Redington running 16 dogs just past Yentna Station, 53 miles in/922 miles to Nome
2. Rohn Buser running 16 dogs arriving at Yentna Station, 53 miles in/922 miles to Nome
Thomas Waerner expedition musher running 12 dogs 51 miles in/924 to Nome (expedition mushers can switch out dogs and bring in new ones, so none of them started with the full compliment of 16. Competing mushers drop dogs that are not running well, but cannot add any new ones, so almost all started with the full 16).
3. Jessie Holmes running 16 dogs 51 miles in/924 to Nome
4. Jessie Royer running 16 dogs 51 miles in/924 to Nome
5. Paige Drobny running 16 dogs 50 miles in/925 to Nome
Kjell Rokke expedition musher running 12 dogs 49 miles in/926 to Nome
6. Rookie Joseph Sabin running 16 dogs 49 miles in/926 to Nome
7. Travis Beals running 16 dogs 49 miles in/926 to Nome
8. Lauro Eklund running 16 dogs 49 miles in/926 to Nome
9. Chad Stoddard running 16 dogs 49 miles in/926 to Nome
10. Bailey Vitello running 16 dogs 49 miles in/926 to Nome
The Red Lantern position (last musher on the trail) is Grayson Burton, running 16 dogs 39 miles in/936 to Nome. One of the expedition mushers, Steve Curtis, is behind Grayson, but the expedition mushers do not count in the standings.
Should note, all of the positions, miles, number of dogs I report are likely to be based off of the GPS tracker and not the leader board.
Gaj with the Win
Escape Gaj 2-1
30 seconds for Gaj
End of SV.
On to Tiebreakers
And we're on to SV
Escape. 1 all
Oh yeah. Honestly DC was even more cut and takedown than Seidel. Seidel tries to get back points. DC was almost strictly takedown and then immediate cut until the match was over.
1-0 after 2.
Escape, Gaj 1-0
Scoreless through 1
HENSON SIGHTING
Gaj for the final match
Jesus.
If Gaj wins here, we could have 6 returning champions
Bullock has a extra year if he wants it
Not only that. In their two matches. Seidel is outscoring Knox 31 to 3
And of the 4 conference champions (so far)
EV will be back
Seidel will be back
Sasso will be back
No offense to DC. Seidel might be better when it's all said and done 🤣
He just Tech-Falled an All-American as a Freshman
Hokies now have 103 team points ...on a down year
Agreed.
Give Norvell another extension and worry about winning golf Natty's
