yeah, at our meeting tonight, our advisor was joking(well, not really) about how if we had gotten into the finals, we'd be staying in a motel, trying to find a flight home. I don't think the Hyatt would have let us stay another night or two (although, I would have loved it).

Anyway...for those of you who don't know the story...

we had to leave the arena around 4:30 so we could stop by the hotel, get our bags, and get to the airport for our 8:30 flight. We're in the pit's...getting our things together...watching the monitors...and we hear Woody reading off the team spirit award. We hear him say "this year's team spirit award goes to team 222" and we all just start breaking out in an odd combo of excitement of anger. we knew that we wouldn't make it to the stadium in a reasonable amount of time, so our advisor tries hi-jacking one of the stadium golf-carts to get us over there but the guy's like "no way, I'm not headed over there!" We hear woody again "Team 222, are you out there? Give us a sign!" at that point we just sorta kicked ourselves and headed out to the bus in high spirits. You definately had to be in the pits to fully enjoy the humor of the whole situation.
