I guarantee you I can find veteran FRC teams that have never heard of either of those teams. You know why? Cause they've never been to Champs.
While I actually agree with most of your points, I get frustrated when people assume that just because I'm from 148 I don't understand "programatic issues" which apply to all teams, including teams not like my own. I assume Cory shares this frustration, and perhaps you shouldn't "put that on him" without talking to him.

To imply any knowledge of where Cory's head is at, to imply he has blind spots about aspects of the program implies a level of familiarity with his thinking that is probably inappropriate.

"You don't know him, why are you acting like you do?"
