winwizard, sadly yes

and especially when you get an adrenaline rush because you are about to be late for your event

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, some schools here in TX try and push the good schools who go to Nationals a lot out of first and second place by either doing good in one event or two OR getting them DQed. Our coach said the same thing.

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. Like, last year, they tried to get our team DQ'd for Elevated Bridge because we didn't walk in wearing goggles--he had them around his neck and was going to put them on when he started loading the bridge.

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.

Oh, and Question: "What is worse then finding a worm in your apple?" Answer: "Bubonic Plague."

See sig, and:
- "Fail!"
- "Kyle, you are incompetent"
- "...and that's why women belong in the kitchen"(no offense to anyone but it's a common joke on our team)
- "Andrew! Did you fart again?!?"
- "[insert rival team name] is doing [insert absurd/illegal/totally-not-cool action here]!"

Anatomy practice:
Coach: What are goblet cells?
Partner: *Wakes up* Um... goblet cells... they choose the competitors in the Triwizard Tournament?
Coach: ...

How do you make a balloon made of skin rise? Fill it with Epithelium!

Way to go 49ers! you broke the wind power blade and that cost us a medal!

-I take credit for this (except for costing him a medal, that was all 49ers and airplanesrule. I took no part in Wind Power.). Which is what happens when you don't start working until LATE FEBRUARY.
