Wowie, where to begin...
Arefin - not only were you great entertainment, but you also had Neha's phone number (much appreciated, though I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet!)
Tytus, Aaron, and Bharat - great fun finally meeting you all in person, I expect to be seeing more of y'all in the future
71 and 469 - providing all of us with great stacking entertainment as we tested the new radios
Paul Copioli - great job with "Oconomowoc" and "Dziatkiewicz". If you ever have to do it again, they are similar to "o-kah-no-mo-wok" and "ja-kay-vitch"
Andy Baker - you were so patient with Ricky, I am so amazed and I wish I had your incredible patience!
Ryan - I forgive you for going to see the Killers without me
thanks for the laughs, you did an excellent job as an announcer!
The Referee Crew - Josh and Sean especially, thanks for always reminding us human players to stay
in the boxes
Team 45 - just for always being around for ... well, facepaint, crazy Kyle antics, creative photography, etc. Austin (rAWr? We Pwned You?) and Greg, I hope to see you next year as refs at BMR. Kyle, I hope to see you next without a cape and a wig, but we'll see about that...
The Spirit Leader from 233 - Congratulations on your award, and of course, your win! I'm so sorry I never even asked you for your name, but I had a great time chatting with you before we played. Hope to see you next year at the Championships and IRI!
and last but certainly not the least, Ricky - you were an amazing coach and Eric and Kevin and I couldn't have asked for a better leader. I know I probably yelled your name out frustration at least as many times as you tried to call me to find out where I was before a match, but don't worry, I did learn a great deal more from you than you think. Like after what almost happened at BMR, I was never late again
