vs. GW Blue @ Sat 3pm, Darden Towe 3

Division: Reg
Captains: Josh Macel, Ryan Starr, & Kirk Klett
Team Colors: Blue & White
Team Mascot: Nittany Lion
Team Beer: Icehouse
Team Song: "Must Be The Money" - Deion Sanders
Distance to Charlottesville, VA: 284 Miles
Star Players: "1) Ryan Starr. The name says it all.  This three-year invitational vet from Boston, Mass. has the glove of Ozzie Smith, the speed of Ricky Henderson, and the bat of "The Crime Dog" Fred McGriff.  Sorry Kent Lloyd, he's taken.

2) Matt Kita. The experience he received while working at Lockheed Martin has proven to be invaluable at second base."
Team's History: "Following a DOMINATING 2001 performance where Penn State won it all, we took a page out of the Pittsburgh Pirates' book and dismantled our roster, eliminating all of our stars.  Watch for a meteoric rise in 2010."
Practice Regimen: "$1 wells at Allen Street Grill.
10pm-12am Happy Hour at Bill Pickle's Tap Room.
"
Want to Play Against: "Penn State Platinum - It's made up of guys from the other Penn State campus and a natural rival.

Vermont - They are relatively obscure and that keeps things interesting.

Duquesne - There are a decent number of kids on our team from Pittsburgh.
"
DON'T Want to Play Against: "Ave Maria - We don't like the new Domino's crust."
Favorite Thing About the Tournament: "The opportunity to catch another late-night ride in the karaoke cab."
Analysts' Take: Who cares whether these guys advance to the later rounds or not?  We just want to hang with them, a cold case of Icehouse, and a remix of "Must Be The Money" as we cruise around C-ville in the karaoke cab.  If we could do that, the weekend will have been a success.
