Matt De Nesnera, the former KION TV broadcaster who now works for the Santa Cruz Warriors, says looks are deceiving.

The Kaiser Permanente Arena (that mouthful is going to take some time to get used to, but does KP Arena work for ex military people?), will make the Dec. 23 deadline (any bettors want to weigh in?)
