Three days before State, our coach gives us this long rambling lecture about the team that wants to DQ us more than they want to win, and all the bad things that may happen. Then he says,
"Scared? Don’t be – its really fun and exciting to be so nervous you might throw up " (He sent us an email, but that still counts, right?)

Well, we've beat them for 14 years in a row, and they always want to win State really badly. They're second best, so if they get our team DQ'd, they win State.

The day of regionals, my partner asks me "whats a road scholar"

This is the conversation I had with my partner (yes partner, singular) three minutes before competition while we were sitting outside the room where B Div. Regionals Experimental Design was being held:
Him- "So what is this event about?"
Me- "...?!"
Him- "What is it ab-?"
Me- "You are kidding, right? Please tell me you are kidding. You see this folder?" *show him the folder with the rubric and sample tests* "I gave this to you months ago and told you to start on it. Did you even look at it?"
Him- "Yeah... I guess."
Me- "Did you open it?"
Him- "I- uh- no."
Me- *Bangs head on table*
Then he says:
Him- "Anyway, this event is about experiments, right?'
I don't know how we managed to take gold at regionals in this event.
