Spiders in TBT 2023

[iamaspider2013]

Starting a 2023 TBT thread since we have at least two Spiders playing. Shawndre Jones is playing for Austin’s Own (Texas Alumni) after some sort of drama with the Air Raiders (Texas Tech), who he played with previously. Terry Allen is playing with the Red Scare (Dayton alumni, which just feels wrong to me).

Any other Spiders playing/coaching?

More importantly, why don't we have a team?

Great question. Given that we couldn’t field a team last year, I’m not surprised that we didn’t try this year. Especially since a lot of guys are playing in other leagues.

I guess everyone fields the best team possible to try to win,
but I'm surprised Dayton and Texas Tech can't field a full team with their own alumni.

The size of the team (players and coaches) also impacts each player’s prize share—Shawndre’s share of the potential winnings is ≈$65K, but Terry’s is ≈$77K. Makes Shawndre’s inclusion a bit more strange, especially since 5 of their 11 players are listed as PGs.
