Chico My question was badly worded. Your point on the super22 is taken, it was just a list I had been looking at a few minutes earlier. What I was trying to ask for was peoples opinions on how a team comprised of our top SC players with enough time together to play as a team would fare. Are SC top players on par with other states?

Re: Politics (if any)in ODP. I think the perception of a problem stems from there not being a lot of people who know how teams are formed. Add to this that some club coaches are not supporters, others are. Money is also an issue. I don't think there are any back room deals being made, but several posters have implied that we may not be fielding the strongest teams we could. I don't know. I would just like to get to the point a few years from now where kids from Texas are nervous about playing a SC squad.
