NOLA Recap and Results!

In this episode of the show we started out with a tribute to our dear friend and OSUSC competitor, Todd Rumpke. Todd was a friend to everyone in the series and touched an almost uncountable number of souls. He will be deeply missed.

We also ran through the entire inaugural event from NOLA and dug into explaining how “The Final 15” works. Long story short, there are only a few slots left for the 2016 OUSCI Invite list and it will all be determined after the final event of the season. Figuring out who is in – and who is not – is going to be like watching election night results!

Thanks for listening,

-Rob & Jimi
