Re: 2013-14 NAQT IS sets: question-specific discussion
So, I wrote the Colorado question being discussed. Being well aware of the notoriety of the Chimney Rock in Nebraska, the thought of players possibly mixing up the two had crossed my mind as I wrote the question. I guess I was, perhaps naively, thinking/hoping that mentioning a recent action by Bara...
