We are planning on having a Pro class at the Albuquerque games this year (3rd weekend in May)
Will provide travel stipend, lodging, and decent prize purse (+ some incentive cash for big throws)
the field is awesome the weather is generally pretty good, the food is outstanding (esp iif you like red/green chili)- currently have old celt, bobby dodd implements and will likely purchase some polanick for the games
this is perfect for all you midwest and western throwers- would like to get 6 throwers
Grant Oliver the AD has been elevated to festival chairman so you can bet we will have a strong focus on athletics
let me know if your interested

That would be exciting, especially since the inference is that all the other Pros suck and aren't worth a match up, lol.
Very cool to see new Pro games popping up though! |

Far from is sir. However Dan is the a on top of the hill right now. I want to throw with that guy as many times as I can. It is going to be a fun year actually getting to do the whole season with you guys that I have looked up too. Not just one or two games that I managed to sneak into.

Gustin is now Confirmed
Jake, I'm fine with you throwing the polaniks (but chuck thomas is going to be the actual AD and he may want the regular weights to keep with tradition)

you guys are making me fee like it's prom night all over again.
I just realized 3rd weekend in May is the 19th and the week before MWC in Greenville. Not going to be able to convince the wife to let me travel two weeks in a row. And, I have to save up all my moxy and gumption to fend of the huge field of contenders coming after my title. Next year. |
