It's not clear to my why we schedule these bottom of the rung teams in the first place. What do we gain by it?
Our success has been due in large part to our depth. These games give 2's and 3's an opportunity to get lots of actual game reps. But beyond that, for this year anyway, our 14 or 15 new 1's and new coaching staff will get lots of valuable game experience without the outcome of the game being in doubt.
