Made a bunch of updates. Anyone who wants to cruise through the thread to help catch any I missed, I'd appreciate it. Extra eyes always help.
We are only halfway done with this. We gotta be able to think of more scores for this thing. It's looking like we may not fill in some of the higher yardage numbers, but keep looking.
