The New York Magpies and the Calgary Kangaroos have had twelve months to wonder, "What if?". On October 19th & 20th in Austin, TX, these two sides will head into the 2013 USAFL National Championships as dual number one seeds in Division One. Both sides undoubtedly feel they have a claim to last year's vacated title, left open when the Dallas Magpies were officially disqualified from competing in Division One at the 2013 tournament. New York and Calgary's only losses in Mason, OH last year were to Dallas. This year, Nationals promises to be as fiercely contested as ever.
