Not one of the six were shared. Four were eaten by the time I hit I-71. The remaining two were eaten for breakfast the next day.

I would think so. I seem to recall Tavanello amassing upwards of 30 matches last year. Busy, busy, busy...

How sweet would that be!!! I'm pretty sure Tommy Rowlands attended (and won it - 2004) so it's safe to say at one point the Buckeyes attended.

The Badgers win the Navy Classic. Isaac gets second to Ian Miller (KSU) and I'm pretty sure Ryan Taylor won it.

Ian won 10-7. Sounds like a fun match.

Ryan Taylor had a great 3rd period to win 9-4 over Garrett Frey of Princeton.
