Who is ready for the Red Herring?
 

I'm starting to feel that need for our annual red herring.:p Who else is ready?

Too late. Daves already posted it here

So this year has something to do with fish. We can work with this.

My Rookie team is finally starting to get excited!

Re: Who is ready for the Red Herring?
 

Ahhhhh, yes. But is that a red herring or the red herring:rolleyes:

Re: Who is ready for the Red Herring?
 

Well its not a herring, but at least its a fish!:P

Re: Who is ready for the Red Herring?
 

You. should. not. have. asked.

It's waayy tooo eeaarrllyy in the year.

Re: Who is ready for the Red Herring?
 

Not really...only 30 days left!

Re: Who is ready for the Red Herring?
 

The four people that so far have said they can wait, either you lie, or you aren't as obsessed as you ought to be. Knowing FIRST, you lie!

Re: Who is ready for the Red Herring?
 

On the contrary, they are trying to finish all those things that they were planning last spring to do before Kick-off. ;)

It's actually a fish... how coincidental:D

Re: Who is ready for the Red Herring?
 

With everything I have on my plate -- chess, academic challenge, debate -- it's not a lie; chess and academic challenge are going away for me once the build season starts, so I'm savoring them while I still have them.

Re: Who is ready for the Red Herring?
 

For real. Its tough. Being on a varsity sport, doing daily winter track workouts, and robotics? yikes. I value my sleep-so I can definitely wait for the kickoff. I'm not saying I'm not excited though... bring it on! :]

Re: Who is ready for the Red Herring?
 

Well, let's see if this qualifies as a Red Herring ...

We all know the logo of FIRST is a triangle, circle, and square. Let's review the quasi-recent past games and look for a pattern:

- 2002's Zone Zeal: the game piece was a (soccer) ball
- 2003's Stack Attack: the game piece was a box -- a square
- 2004's FIRST Frenzi: the game piece was a (kick) ball
- 2005's Triple Play: the game piece was a tetra -- a triangle
- 2006's Aim High: the game piece was a (poof) ball
- 2007's Rack 'N Roll: the game piece was an inner tube -- a circle
- 2008's OverDrive: the game piece was a (track) ball

Could the 2009 game continue the pattern and employ a box of some sort? (Maybe a "fish tank" ? :ahh: )

Re: Who is ready for the Red Herring?
 

Look more closely. Ball, odd object, ball, odd object. It'll be probably be an odd object. This pattern has continued since at least 1997 (inner tube), 1998 (ball), 1999 ("floppies", a disk), 2000 (ball), 2001 (odd game).

Now whether or not it's a square remains to be seen.

Re: Who is ready for the Red Herring?
 

Yeah our team noticed this at the end of the 2006 game, and the 07 and 08 games further continued this theory. It is merely theory and speculation, but we think it'd be hilarious if the pattern continues!
Besides, other than speculations and a picture of a fish, what else do we have to go off of? Waiting for the game to be announced? OVERRATED!!! :D
