Oh god, scared me for a second, but then I remembered that not more than 2 hours ago, I was talking to Dean at TechConnex Summit here in Colonie, Ny. (I got my shirt signed, YEA!) See you guys in atlanta.

Aww I guess you guys are too good for people like us

[Ryan F.]

Wow....that would qualify as one of the most believable jokes I've every had played on me. I was seriously worried about this. I could just see what would happen to our low budget team in a profit driven first

[BlueOrion]

That just doesn't make sense...April Fool's is a good time...we pulled a great one on our coach today...our coach thought that our one driver wasn't going to nationals anymore...i wish i could have been there to see his reaction. Like two other teachers were in on it two and I spread some rumors about it...great way to scare everyone on the team.

I must admit that even I was fooled. Very clever. I was about to call my team mentor about it when I saw on my phone the date: April 1. That was a bad but at the same time, a good joke. I know its a bit confusing..but thats the best I can do to describe it. Congrats, you had me fooled...which is a pretty good feat.

OUCH!
I got Punk'd!
GRRR!
Festering oozing "pox on your house" rep for you, Georgie!
Now I will have to destroy you in Fantasy Football next year!

I was really confused for about 5 seconds, and was on my way to IM my FIRST friends, when I realized it was April Fools, and decided it would be fun to tell them anyway, and see how they reacted (especially cause I'm away at school and they won't be able to bludgeon me to death).

this was a good joke.
they forgot the most important part of the story though...
the colts guy was actually planning on giving FIRST to me as a birthday present. I was considering selling it to Japan, it seems like they need something to promote technology development over there.

[Steve Horn]

Wow, that was probably the best april fools joke somebodys done to me/a large group. I read this and actually believed it worried that Dean would no longer show up at competitions and the FIRST headquarters would move (I like where they are in New England). I almost told my mentor (who is also my physics and calculus teacher) right before calculus today but decided to wait and see if it was an april fools joke.

I'm gonna be honest with you guys. I went to work today expecting a bunch of jokes to be played on me and guess what none were played. I come home first thing I check other then my bank account was CD opened up this thread and was in complete shock. Read some more posts in here and then finally remembered that today was April Fools.

All in all This was not only the most scary joke ever played on here but it was also a well put together one.

However If the day should come for what ever Reason. Do you think Dean would sell FIRST to another company would it be for better or worst and would Dean continue to play a role in FIRST even though it would be under new management. Would the Woodie & Dean and Dave show continue to exsist (Kickoff). And last but definitely not the least. What kind of impact would this have on all the teams.
