What is the rush on Brackman. he is just getting the feel back. I figure he makes it to Tampa after the AS break. Hopefully he is there until next year this time, and then jumps to Trenton, makes a cameo in SWB at the end of next season. Starts the following season (2011) in SWB, and makes it to NY after the AS break in 2011.
