I think Paul Kloberg says it best when he says "We all know the original meaning of the acronym FIRST, For Inpiration and Recognition of Science and Technology...but there's another meaning that Woody and Dean don't want you to know about...FUN IS REQUIRED, SO TOLERATE"

That's all from me this time.

TRUE FOR NJ.
that was one of the quietest regionals i've ever heard. and i've been to many.

spirit is a good thing.

my team lacked it, and yes, sitting down is nice so everyone can see, but if you're just going to sit and watch....sit in the front. people who are waaaay spirited with manners would probably go towards the back of the stands where you can still see, but you won't bother others who are trying to watch.

that's MY two cents.
