The Czar's 2010-2011 Season Totals

One of the questions I get asked often when I'm out and about doing this is how many games and teams I've seen, how many places I've been, etc etc so I decided to track it. A game counts as seen if I see at least half of the game time go off the clock. These counts represent varsity games only unless otherwise noted. During the season, I try to update this daily, but at a minimum I have it updated on Sundays.  Of note, no record for number of games in 2009-2010 so I'll try to break the current record of 152 games this season.

So without further delay, The Czar's 2010-2011 totals

• Leaking roof at University of St. Thomas new athletic facility.
