Re: Mountain Man's Analysis of Weeks 2 and 3

Being from North Carolina, I must protest this gross misuse of the word “mountain” to apply to solely to the Rockies. The Rockies are okay and all, but let’s be honest here. We all know that the Appalachian mountains are, of course, the best mountains. They were here first, they span into 13 states to the Rockies' 8, and they are home to the epitome of the English language (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03iwAY4KlIU).

#AppalachianMountainsBestMountains


Considering that the Appalachian mountains are the best mountains, that of course makes the FIRST teams of the Appalachian states a force to be reckoned with:

We have the best mascots (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69uXfw2lqqA). We have the cheesiest teams (http://www.bluecheese1086.org/) and the cheesiest cheesecake (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uyr-WSKnbQ). ... and of course we have Wil Payne.

So in proper reverence to the best mountains, real mountain lovers should also keep an eye on the Rocket City Regional, the Finger Lakes Regional, the Central Maryland Event, and the Central Virginia Event.

Re: Mountain Man's Analysis of Weeks 2 and 3

The Appalachians? You mean those hills in the East? I can't see why you could ever call them mountains. They're simply just too short to be so! However, I suppose if you want to settle for less, you may watch the regionals in these so-called "mountains."

John Denver called them mountains. And that's good enough for me...

All this territory war stuff and now a fight over which mountains are the best. Good job Chief Delphi users.

Don't forget that the Rockies also go into Canada and down through most of South America

The Rockies actually don’t extend past the US’s southern border. They do go into Canada, though.

However, teams (and, by extension, mountains) outside the US aren’t as important to FIRST, because only US teams can play at Nationals (#2Nationals).
