Are you a MAVERICK?

Mike,

You are right, how can 25 people claim to respresent everyone in a nation? We never claimed to represent, but instead we try to lead efforts and projects which would benefit the whole region. Since we have "stopped talking" here on these boards, NERD has actually grown quite a bit. We have done many things and are proud of our efforts...and we will continue to do so. We have stopped doing things, which many of your counterparts who have called NERD "eliteist" in the past said were aggitating the situation and making others feel like we were being as such. Instead of posting pictures and names of NERDS, we just focus on the task at hand and try to make progress quietly.

Have you ever attended an offseason competition? Chances are, NERD members are volunteering...most of which contacted through the NERD board.

Were you one of the teams who attended IRI from New England? If you are, chances are a NERD was there to help out in some way shape or form.

Did your team recieve a beautiful peice of crafted metal giving them credit for a job well done this year? Its a possibility that the piece of crafted metal was a beautiful NERD Award, crafted by a group of our wonderful students (Most of which were on your team Mike).

Results are there, the NERDS are still there, we just dont go around vocally about it (unless called out, as in this thread), because people just dont want to hear it.

As for Maverick, I hope that the spirit of it never dies. There is nothing wrong with showing some spirit or some motivation to make things more fun, or to make the program better.

And all you midwesterners out there...you aren't bad eggs at all. You just need to work on the defense a little.
