Re: Fantasy FIRST IRI Invite Division

Ya know, for someone so popular, JVN is awfully darn slow with his Fantasy FIRST picks. How dare he think that he can run a real life and balance his Fantasy FIRST team at the same time! Maybe he's just scared that he'll end up in last place again

As for the rest of you, Battlecry was a warmup. Now, its the Evil Empire's turn to show that even with midwest teams to pick from, I am still strategy king! Karthik is going down this time!!!

Just bring it!

Re: Fantasy FIRST IRI Invite Division

Sorry fellas, some of us have to WORK for a living!

I guess I get 2 picks? (cue the drumrolls folks)

How about the best college team in FIRST......... 461!
And (that's not all)... the best Delphi team.......... 48!

What a pairing!
Gotta love it!

Heh....48....riiiight....good luck with that crazy outfit....especially if a certain Canadian weasels his way into coaching their drive team. Crazier things have happened....

Boy this is a tough one. I got two teams in mind, but I'm gonna pick the battle-tested, 51-19-0, postseason vets and PARC Champions - Team 222. After a last minute status report from one of their team members, I've been assured their robot is ready to rock and their drive team is ready to kick some butt anew after their uncharacteristic showing at WPI.

HHSJosh, may your next pick send a dagger through Karthik's black heart and forever dash his hopes of a repeat FF victory against the walls of Lawrence North High School!

I will try, and so I pick Team 808, they're not west coast, but they are #1 rank.

Karthik, I dare you to make a stronger alliance, none of your Canadian teams here!

Karthik sez "Nana nana boo boo, eh!" to your challenge and authorizes me via cell phone to pick WildStang, Team 111, on his behalf.

Yo Dark Side, you're next!

For its next pick, the dream team of the Evil Empire will add team number 65, the Huskie Brigade!

I'm a little busy right now, give me a call in two weeks, then we'll talk.

JVN picked 48 eh? I guess he caught wind of who may be doing the field coaching for them. Apparently this pinch hitter knows what he's doing...

Travis told me immediately after I posted.
Unfortunately, he said it would be unsporsmanlike for me to change my decision.

God help me, my FF dreams are now in the hands of a silly Canadian who likes his hair.

Don't forget about his singing voice. You may have to bear witness to that *amazing talent* at IRI as well....

But then again, you've never heard me sing....

It seems multiple Canadians are infatuated with their hair (Steve!). Hmm, Karthik was originally a Woburner like Steve W for many years. Maybe it's just a condition that develops after being affiliated with 188 so long? When can I expect to see Mark Breadner sporting a permanent wave? Perhaps a Disco Stu 'fro?

Yes, but what hair it is. Wow. The four step regiment of wax, gel, finishing polish and hair spray does wonders.

Let's not forget that voice as well...

Yes, with Karthik, you get the best of both worlds - the singing AND the hairdo. It's only a matter of time before the stars align for this budding star and the whole world gets to experience the amazing talent that only we fortunate FIRST few currently enjoy.

The following is what happens when you wake up too early for your team paintball outing and you have a little too much time on your hands....

Trav,

You really, really scare me some times. Well at least we now know that scientists should never try and combine my DNA with John Travolta's.
