sounds like you're a little powerhouse sour...
In all seriousness though, team-worship in FRC can ruin a strong team by encouraging them to pick based on a hype train. That isn't to say a team with a reputation can't deserve that reputation, but picks based on hype aren't always the best. Pick based on your analysis of each team, and make decisions based on your understanding of their robot, your robot, and how your robots would function in the context of all the other robots. Successful alliances aren't formed based on hype.
More on-topic, though, I'd expect teams to be talking to each other most of friday afternoon. It's actually a really good time for it, too- it's before the scouting meetings, and offers a few matches to watch your potential partners more closely.
