Re: [moderated]: Worst Call Ever and Congratulations from San Jose

At the Sacramento Regional this year our pits were right next to the Cheesy Poofs, being on drive team, I spent most of my time in our pits, but it was interesting to me to notice that their pits were frequently mostly empty. They weren't there because they were helping out other teams. They did not seem stuck-up to me, they had one small, modest table with some old awards on it. For all that I'd heard about the Cheesy Poofs, they seemed like a pretty nice team to me. I remember last year all the jokes that our teams had about the announcer being dyslexic (245 vs 254). One quick side comment that I'd like to throw out is if you really want to "stick it to them", beat them on the field, not off of it. To quote lots of people from the legendary "engineering bots" threads, "sure, we get tired of losing to the same teams year after year, but, when you finally beat them, it feels great". I know that for my team, beating the Cheesy Poofs did not have the same significance as it did for our partners, 766 and 1072, but we worked hard to do it, and there's no denying it, it felt great.
