Re: Who likes the Thunderchickens?
Oh yeah, I forgot one thing:
I feel I need to explain the whole "Ummmm ...I don't think so ... graciously" incident. We slid up to the number 8 seed on Saturday at the MidWest regional and were not at all prepared (we usually are very prepared). We had about 8 teams on our list of who we wanted as partners (both 93 and 107 were on that list) and being number 8 meant we really needed about 16. Knowing both our picks would probably be gone by the time it got to us I told our student representative (who is also our lead animator) to accept if anyone picked us. Well, the team seeded just ahead of us picked us, but 93 and 107 were still available so I tried to get a last minute signal out to decline.
This confused our student rep and he was unsure if he should decline. That is where the "Ummm .... I don't think so????" came from. He got horribly booed so, thinking quick on his feet, he stepped in and said, "graciously" everyone laughed; but I felt horrible. Anyway, we ended up getting both 93 and 107; but karma(sp?) got the best of us and our arm broke just prior to starting the elims (darn potentiometers). 93 and 107 almost pulled it off. Your teams are amazing. Anyway, I thought I would share that story with all of you.
