ahem... used to be.
Seriously, Paul and Dan did a great job. It was definitely fun to be "made fun of" as a referee crew. They kinda reminded me of the performance that Dan and Blair did at this year's St. Louis Regional, where they would go back and forth on things, making jokes and ad-libbing. Heck, they even took jabs at Mike (dez250) as he was "rookie scorekeeper", helping Ken Leung!
The performance that these two put on was probably the best announcer - m/c job that I've seen at a FIRST competition. They knew the game, the teams, and they had fun. I hope the entertainment translated over on the webcast.
I predict that Paul and Dan have started something here... I bet that FIRST announcers will follow their lead and make fun of FIRST refs during next season.
Also, if regional directors know what is good for them, they will be asking these guys to "perform" at their regional.
Good job, Dan and Paul !!!
