Re: FRC Blogged - Championship and You Folks are So Nice!

I bet that if Frank made a CD account, he'd be right on par with Bill Miller in terms of reputation/post...

To address some points in this blog post:
Never have I disagreed more with Frank then now. How could he possibly say something I so vehemently oppose?
Quote:
You folks really are so nice, much nicer than you need to be, and certainly much nicer than I deserve.
Understatement of the year much? He most certainly deserves all of this, and MORE. I also wish that Bill would release the names of the other 18 people so we can thank them in full as well. But alas, that might be divulging too much. Thank you Mr. McLeod! NOw to figure out the best way to thank all thee staff...what would a good sized gift basket be for FIRST HQ...

Bob's email to teams already talked about two key areas...more plays...improved scoring...shortening up closing ceremony.
WOW! All of this being improved? That's insane! They really do listen, and I honestly think they are trying their earnest to fix all of these problems. FIRST is a learning program, both for the students and the staff, and each year the program is growing and getting better. I'm proud to say that I've participated for four years, and am sad that I won't get to experience these changes as a student. Mentoring ho!

The week after Championship is one of the few quiet weeks we have at FIRST, so many of us are taking a couple days off to catch up on our rest. After a very full Championship schedule, this break is something all of us - teams, volunteers, and staff really need!
I hear that Kansas is lovely this time of year; quite relaxing and away from all the hustle and bustle of the true city life... (Look at where I reside.)

EDIT: Hello, Texas Torque post. And at such a great time! Congratulations on your well deserved World Championship. You're no longer "the team from the back woods of Texas."
