Believe me, it was even more exciting to be on a team from the country that had little funding and to find ourselves competing with, and beating, the big dogs.
It just occurred to me that 616 knocked 165 out of the finals in 2005, after we had teamed up in 2004. Just made my picks for VCU FF too. Way too many teams to choose from so after about the first twenty I gave up.
