Thumbs up Shaveless Season...

Several members of 159 are starting a pact:

For the duration of the FIRST season, i.e. January 10th through the end of Nats, there will be no shaving, trimming, or other grooming of facial hair, whatsoever. We will be taking before pictures at kickoff, and after pictures in Atlanta. We want YOU to join us in this venture!

We will be collecting pics either at jesseo@simla.colostate.edu (me) or at 159's pit in Atlanta.

JOIN US!

I agree...

You guys will look like bums after all the time till Atlanta. You will definitely have to post the pics on CD after your pictures are taken. Ill try to tlk some of 71 into doing it but even I am not that daring.

Is that how you talk about your team!?!? This board is somewhat of a showcase and what I say reflects positively on my team. You should do the same.

I'd do it (probably not even intentionally!) except....

My girlfriend would STRONGLY object.

My amazing and considerate girlfriend, who puts up with so much crap during the FIRST season, and is very compromising when it comes to FIRST, (the ultimate time drain)... Anyone who thinks I should leave her because she likes me clean shaven (a small gesture I can make, for all the things she puts up with) needs to get their priorities re-examined...

I would say that if your girlfriend doesn't understand the magnitude of your FIRST spirit.... then you need a new girlfriend. Now you people quit being wimps and DO IT!

Re: Shaveless Season...

One of the mentors, Tim did that on our team last year. Well, I think he did! A beard appeared towards the beginning of the season and dissappeared late. I'd do it, but being in a private school, they do not allow us to have favial hair.

I WHOLE HEARTEDLY agree.... I know I wouldn't be to forgiving over that one either, especially after giving in to so much other regarding FIRST.
However, to those of you that brave the adventure, good luck.... and my thoughts are with you as you swelter in Atlanta's heat.

Re: Shaveless Season...

well im not sure how many first-ies know this, but most likely just the ones that are closer to the east coast, or michigan etc. but in the early middle build season, one of our mentors, steve w on the forums made us a bet that if we won a regional competition, he would have his ponytail cut, and if we won nationals, he would shave his head. well needless to say we didnt win nationals, but we took the west michigan regionals, and he had to live up to his promise.. in front of the whole arena might i add.

talk about some kind of motivation huh? well actually this was more like the icing on a cake for a season spent. but this guy has always had crazy hair, so i mean the loss of the ponytail didnt affect him too much =)

Here's what happens when you make promises like that and your team actually wins nationals http://www2.wildstang.org/gallery/20...ionals_haircut. If you had hair on your balcony on Sunday morning, sorry, it was us.

Re: Shaveless Season...

Hmmm, this seems like an perfect for a fundraiser. (I have a one track mind for $$, I know, that's why they kept me around).

Think about it though. People have walk-a-thons and dance-a-thons where they do something semi-normal for an extended period of time and have lots of people pledge small amounts of money. Someone pledges a dime for everyday you don't shave, like a don't-shave-a-thon? So the name needs a little work but imagine it...

You get 30 people to pledge x 10 cents a day x 45 days of build season x 20 members on your team = $2700 (and that's only asking for $4.50 from your friends & family. Of course you can change these figures if you want more or less).

While the main goal of this process may be team spirit and unity, raising money for something you're already doing can't hurt, and might even be an extra nudge of motivation. Just an idea to throw out there.

Re: Shaveless Season...

Ok, I'm game...

But I do have a couple questions.

I already have a considerable amount of facial hair as it is - since like this summer I think. Are you planning on shaving the day before kickoff, and then seeing how you look at Nationals, or just going from where you are now with facial growth and going from there??

Are you all starting this thing on an "even" and cleanly shaven playing field?

Re: Shaveless Season...

LOL

I would do it, but there is a slight problem.... Im a firefighter.

We are not allowed to have any facial hair (except moustaches), because it wont work with our HEPA masks (SCBA masks). Therfore, i can't run into any burning buildings with a beard; and i just can't do that!
