We enjoyed hanging out with everyone who was able to make it to Connecticut and on behalf of the team I would like to say congratulations on your win and that we hope to be seeing more of your team in the future. Also I would like to apologize for our facility advisor's sudden urge to do your chant "oink oink boom" in the airport. She was so excited that she forgot where she was.

I wish I could have gone up to every one of you and thanked you after, because it was very very cool. I don't think I've ever heard such a cohesive group cheering for a team and I was absolutely flattered that you all would be doing that for us.
After we were kicked out of the eliminations I thought that the most gracious thing to do would be to invite your team to sit up in the stands with us and we would help them cheer. I think that was the best idea I had the whole trip. For the rest of the day both teams seemed to be having more fun and everyone was getting along. I am glad that we were able to share a plane ride to and from Connecticut with you guys and we are hoping for a bus ride with you guys to and from Atlanta. I'm not sure about that. I haven't been able to talk to the facility advisor since the airport. Good luck in Atlanta and just in case we aren't sharing a bus to and from Atlanta we hope your transportation is safe and fun.

Congratulations again to any and all teams that were able to attend.
We are all winners.
