I was doing some on-skates stuff, so missed the Coaches Roundtable also. I was specifically interested in how to incorporate fresh meat in with the vets, and...

Bonnie--I'll try to do this tonight, if the girls think it's ok! It'll be good for them to see what they look like, too, when they get home. They think they're...

Bonnie, It was cool scrimmaging with you in the co-ed at Flamingo Banks, maybe I could put on video the block and whip I did with you during the mini-bout....
I'm a bit lost on how to deal with this. Situation: We are changing the scheduling of two upcomming Bouts, our B team will now travel to play an Away Bout,...

money motivates me.. Last year, when i was with Rat City , in the championship game, I was playing B4. Before the game, one of my team mates and I were joking...
Similiar to Ms. D'fiant, whenever my team gets frustrated with ref calls, etc. I yell, "AFLAC!!" at them. Yes, like the duck in the insurance commercials. It...
