Catchall Post Until We Can Catch Our Breath

So much is happening it's a crying shame we won't be spending all day in front of our Gateway, but alas, we shan't be. Instead, we're gonna use this post to bundle the news and come back to it later this afternoon or early this evening or, you know, whenever. Feel free to add comments and, throughout the day, we'll try to publish the positive ones that help build excitement for this incredible sport in the state. Thanks.
