The Grinch is the GOAT. He remains undefeated. None of the BSDs dethroned him this year. But there were a few valiant efforts and so onward we go. Although it was a little early for a holiday-themed beatdown, the PAX rolled with it while the Q grabbed his years old cardboard and dusted off his worn out holiday mix. We moved to the parking deck which allowed the PAX to avoid the rain, but added some minor degrees of moseying\u00a0 difficulty in elevation and the inability to cut the parking lot corners (sort of).<\/span><\/p>\n
