Re: an odd choice of Chairmans Award music at FLR? Dylan?!

It's all about knowing your crowd. At some regionals Hip-Hop is going to work, at others it isn't. I love my Hip-Hop, but the crowd didn't seem to get into it in Rochester. That being said, playing "Lose Yourself" by Eminem during the last match of the finals was absolutely perfect.

It really captures the tension and pressure felt by all the drive teams.
