Dear (New) Looking Forward,

I know many of us here at the CD forums enjoyed Looking Forward's predictions and were sorry to see this young tradition halted this season. However, I suggest that you solicit the assistance of any connections that you may have in FIRST in order to add some substance to your predictions. One of the best things about the first Looking Forward was the insights and fair analysis he/she gave. In order to live up to the quality of your predecessor, you need to tell us some things that we don't already know. To be quite honest, I could have written the exact same predictions for the MI districts myself just by browsing the forums and having some knowledge of historical powerhouses. Telling us the teams like 27 and 67 will do well, without anybody knowing what their robots do, is not much of a prediction at all.

I am writing this because I see potential in your efforts, and I also want to see the return or reincarnation of LF. However, in order to capture that same spirit and quality, you need to improve upon this first effort. Bring in some connected FIRSTers, clean up the writing a bit, and match the quality analysis LF brought. Then, you really can be the Looking Forward.

Signed,
On behalf of Looking Forward fans,
Jack
