Re: IRI Thanks
I echo everything that has been said above, as well as the following:
Andy Baker: Thanks for being an awesome head ref and putting me on the spot by telling everyone to talk to me about the hanging controversy! 
The Refs: You guys were awesome all weekend...can you go to every regional?
John Whelan and Katie Reynolds: I couldn't have kept the blue side teams queue-ed without you guys.
All Announcers: Even when your voices left you, your enthusiasm and spirit kept the field rocking. Dan and Paul, I can't wait to see you guys in action at Purdue in March.
All Talent Show Participants: WOW! What a night! From recycled toothpaste to upside down Dew...Top Gun to moving your arms in opposite rotations (finally more people that can do it!!!)...Sweet Home Chicago to Dean Simmons and the Kamens! And who could forget the judges and their valuable input?? I know I never will!
Finally, to all of the organizers and other volunteers that helped make the IRI possible, thank you for an awesome weekend full of some of the finest FIRST memories I will ever have. I was honored to be a part of the crew this year and am looking forward to doing the same for years to come.
Kev
