This video just made my day. :)

Another entertaining production!

Re: Team 71 Prepares For Kickoff
 

Very well done.

Greg, take note. This is a good thing to do while waiting for kickoff.

Re: Team 71 Prepares For Kickoff
 

A couple of things.

1. Yall must have all sorts of time on your hands.

2. It seems kinda weird that you guys are practicing lifting trophies. Never good to count your chickens before they've hatched.

3. What is that greenish cover book in the video?

My rule of thumb is that any team who's won four World Championships can count their chickens whenever they want. :p

*shakes his head :o

That was funny!

Re: Team 71 Prepares For Kickoff
 

I'm guessing you are not familiar with the Small Parts Catalog, and it's historical role in FIRST. Try the link on the CD portal when you have a few minutes.

Nice job on the video! :)

Thanks Bill. Brings new meaning to "high performing team."

Re: Team 71 Prepares For Kickoff
 

This just brightened my day. When will the PVC for dummies book be available to the public? What about the Design by Beatty series of books? I put in a pre-order back in 2008 and would like to have a rough estimate. Thank you.

I generally agree with Karthik here, I would also like to say that it might be a good thing for 217 to count their chickens before they hatch, wouldn't want any freshman getting list would we?

Re: Team 71 Prepares For Kickoff
 

The joke's going to be on you when you realize that eggs are this year's game piece.

Re: Team 71 Prepares For Kickoff
 

their chicken, my chickens, your chickens ................

whatever they want.

Re: Team 71 Prepares For Kickoff
 

Mr. Bill is soooo buff!!!

Re: Team 71 Prepares For Kickoff
 

Can I have some chickens, please?

inb4 ones that shock you.

Re: Team 71 Prepares For Kickoff
 

Oh god. I give it roughly 6 hours until someone read's this post and starts a game hint thread... :yikes:

:D. Can't argue with that logic.

Re: Team 71 Prepares For Kickoff
 

Never doubt the force of Beatty;)

Whenever you have free time on your hands, just ask yourself this: "What Would Beatty Do?"

Re: Team 71 Prepares For Kickoff
 

Bill's definitely pumped for this season!

Re: Team 71 Prepares For Kickoff
 

You know I do all the time, but it sometimes gets me in trouble!

Anyway, every year I look forward to Team 71's video and as always this one made me laugh!

Mr. Bill, just a reminder to hoist those trophies by the base during your drills. They sometimes can break, especially with really strong people like your team.

Re: Team 71 Prepares For Kickoff
 

You know its getting close to build season when you see a video from team Hammond. Thanks Bill and team !!!!!!

Re: Team 71 Prepares For Kickoff
 

Now i know it's close when Mark posts something:D

Lyrics to Gonna Fly Now - Bill Conti

Trying hard now
it's so hard now
trying hard now

Getting strong now
won't be long now
getting strong now

Gonna fly now
flying high now
gonna fly, fly, fly...

For me - there's a lot to think about in this video. A lot. For example, I had a different reaction to the trophy lifts. I thought about the weight of that reputation and history and that by lifting the trophies in the workouts, they are preparing, physically and mentally - to go for it again. At the same time, the video can be watched on a very surface level and enjoyed that way, too. Thanks 71, it's a great way to celebrate the season.

Fly.
