We've lot a lot of territory, down to fourth place by that measure. Our eastern line is gone at this point, with Wisconsin and Michigan pouring through. Ohio State is largely unopposed in the northeast, and now they're posed to invade the Pacific Northwest via Alaska. Our A&M allies lost SMU to Meatchicken, who had just a 0.02% chance to take it. It looked like we were moving toward a non-aggression pact or even alliance with Stanford, but they sent quite a bit after us. It sounds like there may have been some blunders by Stanford's leadership, waiting to hear what happened there. Edit: Stanford leadership says they screwed up the orders on their end, and are expecting the consequences from us tomorrow. Of course, for all we know it may have been deliberate - they could be in alliance with Wisconsin and Michigan or something.
We did hold the motherland tonight, though, but frankly we got lucky. Meatchicken sent 41 players after our home turf, but we held the line with 21 players. We also somehow held onto Wisconsin's home turf, pulling one out of our asses and defending it despite just a 0.07% chance to do so. We continue to climb in star power, though, greatly exceeding our modest numbers. We still need more numbers, though, so get 'crootin!
