This ultimately resulted in more exciting matches!

Grady man, come back to the present...quit living in the past, buddy

You proved my point already with what you have below:

In the northeast, we like to keep things close and exciting....no 300 point blowouts like you guys in the midwest try to accomplish each year, putting the collective audience to sleep. With FIRST, its all about style! In the northeast, we are alllll style

See, you let them blow you guys out, then you go run them over at the end...but they still win....of course we like running up the score for when your "box on wheels" comes and flips us, we can just sit there cheer and celebrate while you desperately try to come back and fall short in the end..I guess thats how the Northeast likes it, close, but no cigar.

As for Raul...didn't you guys build one of those defensive robots last year? Wildstang the wedge? See, defense does win championships my friend...I dont deny that you midwesterners are catching on...it just took ya a while Of course you need to understand...when Team Hammond won its 4th championship this year, they woke up the sleeping giant that is the Northeast. Next year when things get a little rough on you midwesterners...make sure you give your thanks to the Beatty's for giving us something to shoot for

Haven't you been saying that since like oh Hammond's first championship back in 97
