Rivalry Night at BMO: Breaking Down the Wave Before the Blackout Match

The San Andreas Cup is here and we are not calm about it. Mario's holding it down solo while Angela calls in from her birthday trip up north — because that's just how we do it. We break down the Utah mess, check where we actually stand in the San Andreas Cup (hint: first place), and scout the three Wave players who could ruin our Saturday.
