  • Hey derby fans!  Remember last October, when our beloved Wheels of Justice suffered heartbreak at the WFTDA Western Regionals, then brought a terrible vengeance in the form of a brutal 134-89 win over North Central top seed Windy City?

  • Interesting new plot lines are beginning to emerge now that we’ve seen our first example of Life After TT-Only.  So many, in fact, that I am compelled to push up the date of my “WFT Part II” and possibly add a “Part III” once the dust finally settles.  So let’s get into it…
