I hope he sticks with it, though, cause he's pretty good.

From what I understand some of the volunteers working field reset were feeding him lines. I never really heard any of them because I only saw my team's matches, but D@ve (who volunteered on Archimedes field reset) told me afterwards that they were taking random lines out of newspaper articles and making other things up and giving them to Dan during the matches. I will have to rewatch some other matches to see just how quirky they were.
