He said he uses the site to post schedules, messages from the representatives, a link to the main IM webpage, and info on other House IM athletes. “It definitely helps get people out to the games,” he writes in an e-mail. “Most importantly, it is a place where Da Straus House IMs can flaunt our victories and make excuses for our few and far between...
