For those of you that haven’t seen the news, twitter, facebook, instagram or basically live under a rock, the east coast was slammed with Nemo, the blizzard. Can we first discuss why we are naming blizzards now? I’d love to meet the man or woman who has the job of choosing the names. This past weekend we planned to head down to University of Pennsylvania for a preseason tournament Friday night, play Saturday and return after the games. Read More…
