Kurt McCune is battling back spasms and may not be available tomorrow. That may call for Cotton in a closing chance. It's a wait and see.

Trying something new with the gamethreads this year to leverage the new StoryStream tools we have in this new version of the web site. Those of you used to following along in the comments from your mobile devices should still be able to, but holler if there is something you're having trouble with. Hopefully this will cut down on the old issue of threads becoming too large and unwieldy by Sunday.
