2007 Great Lakes Regional, Best Ever?

[Jack Jones]

Thanks to 33 and 322 for giving it all they had. No one expected the Bee’s run of bad luck in the quals to follow them into the elims. Not until we picked them, that is.

I prefer to look at it this way:
There were 25 teams who would have preferred to lose in the quarters, than to sit there and watch us lose. Come to think of it, there were a lot of people who would have preferred not to watch something that ugly.

Thanks for picking us.......... It's always a smart move to pick the Bee's they are solid 99.9% of time, they just had some bad luck this weekend that they very rarely have. You guys did a great job on "D". We just missed getting our 4th ring on the last match or that probably would have been enough. That was fun though, I'm looking forward to Western.

We had our moments; but "D" is all about position, not aggression. They did not execute as we planned. Now I still don’t know if defense is key!

I second that, and I want to personally thank 573 for sharing the fun with us 66 members that were getting excited along with them. Even though this is FIRST, you have to love winning, and especially in a heated competition as this one truly was.

This GLR was a BIG shocker, a BIG shocker... I loved it all, and makes me look forward to Buckeye. Just extremely happy we got the ramps to work once... just once... it'll be better down in Cleveland. (knocks on wood)
