[Bill Gold]

[Wetzel]

Dave and Adam!:D
Dave and Adam!:D

Both with bald heads!!;)

[D.J. Fluck]

OO i want to see the Baker Vs Raul Vs Johnson Match

that would be funny..

Clark vs Kyle would also be a good one...


at least im not in any matches...

/me doesnt think he should have said that out loud

:D

[A. Snodgrass]

that could be remedied dj....

[Joe Johnson]

I am game for a few rounds of sumo... ...if Bill Beatty is.

I know that he's a yokozuna and I am a mere ozeki, but...

... I think I can take him... ...really ;-)

See you a the Honbasho... ...er ah.. Championship Event.

Joe J.

P.S. Do you think Woodie would agree to being the Tate-gyoji?

[Andy Baker]

I'll be in for this. I'm not sure about going up against Raul, since he has a black belt. Aaah, what the heck, these sumo suits have alot of padding and you get to wear a helmet, so there ya go.

Here are some more interesting matches:

Kristen Kelso (131) vs. Jess Boucher (000)
Steve Shade (7) vs. Mike Soukup (111)
Andy Grady (000) vs. Mike Aubry (47)
Greg Mills (16) vs Brian Beatty (71)
Jim Zontag (33) vs. Dan Green (111)
Ken Patton (65) vs. Tom Nader (67)
Sean Schuff (93) vs. Bill Beatty (71)
David Kelly (234) vs. Clark Gilbert (45)
Dave Kelso (131) vs. Mike Faticanti (157)
Paul Copioli (217) vs. Chris Hibner (308)
Tom Frank (121) vs. Vince Wilczynski (500)

oh... I can go on and on... this is fun!

almost forgot DJ...

DJ (45) vs DJ (190)

I'm willing to add to the kitty to make this happen in Florida. Heck, we could sell tickets and make it a FIRST fundraiser!

Andy B.

[Clark Gilbert]

Wow that would make one heck of a show.


(I can easily take Kyle :) )

[A. Snodgrass]

VERY good suggestions. I like them.

[ReijiH]

Does the Ken Lueng vs Anton match take place during Silicon Valley or LA regional?

Andy B.
that idea is excellent about making this a fundraiser. thank you!

[Joe Johnson]

I think FIRST should set aside 3 slots for sumo matches DURING the award ceremony.

FIRST could auction the slots off on Amazon.com. The winner of the auction would get to name whomever they want to don their mawashi and take to the stage.

I suppose that you would have to get the participants to agree to wrestle before the auction, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem... ...we have all done stranger things for FIRST ;-)

See you at the Championships...

Joe J.

[Andy Baker]

Here's an idea... make the sumo matches the pre-awards entertainment.

As FIRST is getting the hardware lined up and the speeches written, we could be watching these sumo "heavyweights" bash it out on stage.

This would be better than the Disney stilt dancers and the mural painter of previous years, and the trashy music videos of last year.

But... if they can bring back that cool band with the bagpipes, Off-Kilter, the basho is off.

Andy B.

[David Kelly]

uh oh!!! looks like i'm in it now. thanks andy;)


bring it on clark!!!!!!!:D :cool:

[Jessica Boucher]

Lol, Oh well, I thought I'd be overlooked, but I'd be thrilled to jump on in ;)

How about for an alternate competition.....DDR tournament. I've gotten much better since Kickoff! I wanna play against Ken again!

And if not, then I guess I'll just be spending the afternoon jumpin round on the pogo stick....

[Paul Copioli]

How did I know Andy would throw me into this!!

C'mon Chris ... bring it on! I really don't know if I have it in me to thrash a fellow Wolverine, but I think I can overcome it. Can anyone say Great Lakes Sumo Club?

-Paul (Yoshimitzu Suzuki)

[Pamela]

hehehe, Sumo Wrestling is fun, especially when you're a sumo-monkey, and thanks to Robby O. we have a pic....

Thrash?!?!?!? So you wannna trash talk, do ya? I'll see your thrashin' and raise you a good whoopin'.

In this spirit of FIRST, Paul and I should form an alliance and go tag-team against a couple of Buckeyes. That would be a good match.

[Joe Johnson]

If this doesn't scare you nothing will...

Wow, Dr. Joe. I would think that you lose weight after finishing the robot...

I guess you celebrated too hard afterward. Good food at home? Too much Mountain Dew perhaps?
I am afraid to see this new Dr. Joe cheering for CD in a match.

Really looking forward to see if other engineers gain this much weight as well. So we could have a real sumo matches.

OH yeah, Brandon, can you set this picture as Dr. Joe's new profile picture?

[A. Snodgrass]

Ive had another match suggested from an anonymous source....
Nate Smith(470) vs Kenny Ardizzone(108) vs Mike Soukup(111)

[Clark Gilbert]

I saw Andy Baker practicing already ;)

Looks like Dean was in town visiting Delphi and somehow he got in the photo :)

Andy's even playing it safe...wearing a bike helmet...hahaha:D

[D.J. Fluck]

Another good one

I think Dan Green (111) needs to take on Tom the FedEx guy
(inside joke)


Also Ashlee (973) Vs Carolyn (86) Vs Christina (810)


1 Rule Ashlee cant use the squeeky hammer

[A. Snodgrass]

Andy Baker vs Ken Leung
Steve Shade vs Ken Leung
Christina(810) vs Michael(810)

[Todd Derbyshire]

No i think its Uleed Photo Impact....

I think clark has something against Photoshop

[ReijiH]

Come to think of it, since both Technokats and Chief are participating in the next week's Buckeye regionals, could anyone tell me if the Andy Baker vs Joe Johnson sumo match will be webcasted? I'd be really interested in seeing that:)

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Hey about a tag team match. Me, Bill Beaty and Andy Baker take on all comers...You just have to figure out where we are at.
LOL

[Bill Beatty]

And I won't need any of that paraphernalia. Just give me a mawashi and some rock salt, and I am ready to go.

[Brian Beatty]

While I'm flattered to be included in this sumo exhibition, for my money I'd love to see Raul vs. Andy vs. Joe match. But they better gas up that little cart that hauls people off the field.

Sincerely,

Brian Beatty

Sorry Joe

But I will have to put my money on Bill. He has a lower center of gravity and more traction.
Glenn

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Hey Joe,
Glenn has never seen you with your "game face" on has he?

[Wayne C.]

Hey- if this thing is open to all teams I'd like to nominate Big Mike (aka Mr. Volcano) of Team 25 -If you can find a suit tofit him!!!


Suggestion- How about doing the sumo matches outside on the "greens" at Epcot (by the banner) during the lunch breaks.



(Now all we need to do is qualify!)

WC :D

[tjrage_25]

Oh yea!!!
Big Mike's ready... :D

rock salt??

[ReijiH]

One of sumo wrestling's pre-match ritual is to cleanse the arena (Throwing salt is suppose to get rid of bad spirit) by throwing rock salt on the floor:/

Also, throwing rock salt is almost like declaring a sure win.

Let's get some sumo suits to Florida, and let the competition begin!!!

I can take on most of the engineers at the same time, but that would be unfair if you look at the size of Andy and Joe... Because the little circle on the mat can only fit at most three of those size engineers, and anything less than 6 engineers vs me is unfair to them. Well... maybe if they try really hard and gain a few more pounds before Florida, then maybe 5 of them might have a chance against me.

Don't mean to brag, but I just want to make sure they understand what they are up against.

I think I am just going judge this competition so no one would get hurt badly...

[Deej]

Dude, I'm definately in...but i want a round with Mr. Andy "Skrach" Grady.....his claim to fame is showin me all i know...lets see if he does....my one condition is that my stage name be "Exlipse" and my special move is the Total Eclipse....

[Mike Schroeder]

He I'll Be At Rutgers, If anyone wants to wrestle just look for the guy in a Hawaiian shirt and Volcano Hat probobly dancing before rounds

[Tim Baird]

Thanks to the heads up on this shindig from Deej, I would like to put my name on the bill versus Morrison from 126. After a smooth little tackle that I recieved two years ago into a pile of floppies that had an unseen chair under them, I could use a little pushing back.

Tim

[Andy Grady]

Uh oh, I didn't just see my Ol' Buddy DJ callin me out did I? I dunno, something tells me that in sumo I would definately be flattened, of course I have never been one to turn down a challenge...oh and by the way DJ...when it comes to runnin the robots on the sticks...I'd still whoop ya! :) Cya in New Haven buddy!

Andy "Scratch" Grady

[Deej]

Skrach....anytime, anyplace, any year (of competition), I'd show you a thing or two about drivin....i think that one of the off-season competitions should be like the FIRST all-star game....all-stars from the east and west battle it out, to see who's the king

[D.J. Fluck]

dont forget about me Deej

[Deej]

[D.J. Fluck]

i dont know if i want to take on andy B cause he is on my own team, but that would be cool..

3 way tag Team:

D.J. (45) and D.J. (190)

vs

Andy Grady (0000) and Andy Baker (45)

vs

Ken Leung (0000) and Ken Patton (65)

[Todd Derbyshire]

I will stay take anyone on in CT or NJ

[Carolyn Duncan]

Ok, well I'm back after my week in Virginia... and I have just one question. How did I get matched against Anton? I'm not scared or trying to back out I'm just wondering. I say BRING IT ON!

Dont forget C,

you have another match with Christina and Ashlee


better save that strength

[Carolyn Duncan]

HAHA! Yeah. Well, I really don't see the 3 of us going at it because well, we'd be laughing too hard to move. But hey, Im game. I think we should have it set up to make money for FIRST somehow... maybe get donations from the audience, or something like that. I don't know we will see. Betting will be off unless someone gets a license... (hint hint...wink wink... nudge nudge) Ok but anyhwo, I think we will all have fun if this becomes a reality. Hopefully there will be video if some of the matches occur at regionals... I'll be ready to go at nats!
