Seems McFadden and Haught got things about as good as we could have expected. Obviously nothing's easy at this level, but you gotta like the chances for each of these guys to at least make the semi's...and it wouldn't be shocking to see more.

ZZ...I dunno...it's almost like the draw doesn't matter with him...it's more like "which ZZ shows up in Cleveland?" He could be a real surprise in either direction...I'd say 6th is the least likely outcome :-)

I think Blees' draw is a compelling one. I like him to surprise some folks.

Gus has it tough, but he's capable and it's the last hurrah...hopefully we get some Mastriani-like magic from him.

For the unseeded guys, I think Norstrem got about as good a draw as we could've expected...he may be able to throw in a point or 2. Dunn has obviously limped into the championships and I think will have a tough go of it. Moore and Bolen have great opportunities, but really tough roads I think...hopefully at least one of them can throw a little surprise at us.

Awesome that we've got 7 guys going who should be back next year (and a wild card former AA 8th not competing)...the list of teams that can say that can't be very long.
