2008 Philadelphia Regional!

[Barry Bonzack]

I have not yet finished my thank yous for the Florida or Oklahoma Regional, but I find myself distracted on Chiefdelphi while I should be studying for tests.

Quick thanks to 365 for all of the accommodations this week, what a fun team to hang out with.

Mainly I'm posting hoping for a reply from 1511. Can one of you please tell me about how long it takes to get "I Believe that Robots ROCK" out of your head? Its been stuck there since the regional ended. Should I consult a doctor?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Try playing "Cotton Eye Joe" loudly and repeatedly. That should do it.

Of course, then you'll have "Cotton Eye Joe" stuck in your head...

MWAH HA HA!!! (Evil laugh...) Never!

Between that and the resounding call "Rolling Thunder (clap clap clapclapclap)!" the sound of 1511 will be embedded forever! I got to spend a few hours with my brother after the regional and whenever the conversation would lag, he would chant "Rolling Thunder..." I'd almost admit that it was annoying, except that it was usually what I was hearing in my head too!

So, sorry, Barry, until you get back to Florida and get a dose of "Oink Oink Boom!" you are stuck with...

I...
I Believe...
I Believe that...
I Believe that Robots ROCK!
I Believe that Robots ROCK!
I Believe that Robots ROCK!

I have to add that the student alumni who was one of the FOUNDERs of that cheer for us took a BUS all the way from NYC, and walked 27 BLOCKS to our hotel at 9pm at night in Philly to come help us lead that cheer So Im glad to hear it was worth it!!! hehe!

For those who are wondering what all the noise is about, and those who wan to re-live it, TBA has some video of the finals up now. Too bad the audio doesn't come anywhere near the reality of the sound in the Drexel field house.

Sorry Rich, I can't hear you. My ears are still ringing. Something about a RAN-DOM-I-ZER, too.

Looks like TBA beat me to it. I just put up all 3 finals matches, cut from the official feed, up on Google Video (they were processing almost all day ) Those embedded Google videos can be found on our this page. The audio is delayed ~5 sec (something that happened during Google's encoding). I cut the semis 2 (against 237 816 & 1370) and quarters 3 (against 357 1727 & 709) matches as well and will upload them as well. I will work on getting these all up on TBA.

What are you guys talking about? That crowd was silent...you could hear a pin drop right before the last score was announced.
