Re: One month to Kick-off

Jane the problem with that is I haven't become unacquainted with the forums . Its been nonstop checking since i started.
I remember last christmas, I woke up and said "12 days till kickoff!" and then opened presents

Re: One month to Kick-off

Yes, while kickoff is one of the high points in my year (possibly the highest), only two dates have more importance: Christmas. It helps to take my mind off of January 5th, at least for twelve hours. Also, seems that playing Battlefield 2, BF2 mods, and Trackmania ESCW have been playing their part this year.

It varies. Here's the breakdown of the past few years:

2007: Dec. 21
2006: Dec. 23
2005: Dec. 30
2004: Jan. 6

Hmm, seems to be getting earlier every year. Who wants to try fitting a curve to predict the date for this year?

Re: One month to Kick-off

hmm... my graphing calculator ran out of batteries but it looks like it will be going more towards in the dec. 15-20 range.

I would say 20 but dave might not have been kidding.... I see how this can be painful and enjoyable (to dave) at the same time...

Re: One month to Kick-off

So essentially, around the 10th or so it'll be time to start figuring out which teachers don't mind me dashing in to check the FIRST website in between classes, so that I'll have it down by the 15th or so.

Its good to know that since I'm already on the computer for at least half of my classes. I'll be able to keep my eyes in CD for almost all day (and night).

What posts? He barely has any, and those he has are a) obviously hint-less or b) obviously a joke. I don't think you could get anything meaningful from those

A little transparent, Eric. You'll have to bait a little more subtly to draw Dave out.

Besides, Rich already spilled the beans -- Dave doesn't really know anything about this year's game.

So... our team is going to hold a contest to see who can guess the game the best. The reward is two dozen boxes of krispy kremes.
