OK, it's close enough to tomorrow. Thanks to all of you who responded so positively to PM comments! Please note that the overwhelming majority of posts in this 13 page thread celebrate the wonderful qualities and machines of the NJ Regional teams. For now, posts in this thread will remain unmoderated. Let's keep it that way.
Also, intent of overly-aggressive play is nearly impossible to prove, thus not worth talking about. After viewing all of the video, I must say it was as exciting as all of the finals I've seen there in person. Passionate, hard fought, and solid strategy.
A little food for thought as we reopen the thread:
-GP is something to apply to yourself and your own team. It's never a tool to judge others.
-Having someone make a spirited and possibily controversial post is nothing new. Answering such a post with comments that obviously irritate the situation while adding no real value to the thread, send it down the tubes in a hurry.
-Think twice, post once. We exist here to recognize and inspire while changing the culture for the better. Even if you worked your butt off and didn't "win", don't get caught up in the trash-talking mentality that pervades and degrades popular culture.
-Have fun and celebrate the special thing we have here called FIRST.
