USAU has a plan for the club season: Make it 2009 again by science or magic. Join STF as they go back to a pre-Triple Crown Tour era. No rankings, no requirements, no spirit! Is this truly the way god intended the sport to be played? And with Masters Nationals now bid-only, what lengths is Tad willing to go to in order to lock up a bid?

STF also welcomes Felix Shardlow to the program, giving the Englishman a chance to defend himself and the Hex after some recent slander on the program.

All that, plus mascot drama and the perils of meeting new people post-vaccination in an impassioned TTF.
