- Did any of these guys play on the 2004 team? Article says 2007 is the latest, but not the earliest? - Will Hunting Mar 30, 07:19 6

    - Still, they were clearly the best team. - David Mar 30, 07:23
At this point I think I'd be more surprised if there was a program that wasn't paying players in some way. - TWuG Mar 30, 07:11 13
