- Welcome back Floppy Disk.
- Some confusion at the outset of the Gobbler. Maize was sitting in his sedan at 6:02 wondering where the hell the rest of the Gobblers were, while the rest of the Gobblers were sitting at Roanoke Park wondering when said blue sedan was going to come careening up Aycock to deliver Maize.
- T-claps to the PAX for bear and crabbing through extended sections of about 4 inches of standing water in certain places as part of consecutive 100 yard crawls. #thatswhatmakesitfun
