So in essence the situation seemed to be- if they knew you somebody clapped for you and supported you, if they don't you were a threat. We went out to play the Nat. finals winners one more time and have fun- thats it. It seemed a bit too serious about winning for my taste.
I think that all goes back to the tendency of Midwest teams to associate with each other. You tend to support the teams you're familiar with, and while those of us on the forums know 25 well, to the average Midwest FIRST student, you're somewhat of an unknown quantity. They may have seen you in the finals in Houston, but they don't really know you. I think that would happen to anyone outside their "home area" so to speak. I guess we all need to do a better job of welcoming outsiders. I for one was glad 25 came. It made IRI a lot more exciting.
