I hope that the new president whoever they may be fully supports FIRST. I mean, come on! Who DOESN'T support FIRST?!

I wouldn't read too much into the title. It just refers to the presidential election, and more specifically, the craziness that is New Hampshire leading up to the primary.

Every four years we seem to have a big ball game, I guess.

I would be very happy to see a ball as big as the balls in 2008 (or bigger).

1998, 2001, 2004, 2008--that's 3-4 years (3 years, 3 years, 4 years are the gaps).

4 times in 10 years; sole game object in 2 of the 4 (1998, 2008). In 2001 and 2004, there were small balls as well.

Re: Bill's Blog 8-1-2011

Or this could be the year that they use the survey of peoples top 3 favorite games and they take the top 4 and combine them into 1 super game.

It's this.

Also, the whole concept of perpetually-early New Hampshire primaries is disgraceful. Perhaps the lone saving grace is that it provided FIRST with some free media exposure.
