Will/Did you make it to nationals?

[M-E-T-H-O-D MAN]

I absolutely believe that my team has the talent to get to nationals. But it's something my school has never done and it will take a lot of work. In the end, I will do everything it takes to get there, but it may not be enough. I sure hope it is.

Now, I have a bit of a problem with this thread (no offense to 3nv1r0nm3ntal), and that is that someone is going to post how awesome their team is and how they get to nationals every year and how they're better than everyone else. To this person, whomever it may be: Don't be an idiot and do this. Past results have no bearing on this year. You aren't guaranteed an all-time pass to the national tournament. Don't start talking about how awesome you're going to do at nationals until you get to nationals. Past results have no bearing on this year. You aren't guaranteed an all-time pass to the national tournament. Don't start talking about how awesome you're going to do at nationals until you get to nationals. And yes, I wrote that twice for emphasis.

Nicely veiled, I know you're talking about Waterville.
Honestly, I know we can make it if we work hard enough and I hope our team does. And I think I'm done trumpeting about Waterville. It got old and I hope I didn't seriously offend anyone. I (and my friends) were joking around. But we really can make it if we work and study hard.

Soon they will learn that the program is not in fact dead. We are very much alive. We are also now a majority of Juniors instead of a majority of Sophmores.

Word up, and next year we'll be a majority of Seniors!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you can only have a max of 7 seniors per team

[quizbowl]

and 7 out of 15 is not a majority :3 unless your team has 13 people or less (which is highly idiotic)

We know, but unless the rest are Juniors, the majority will be Seniors.

My team is awesome. We get to go to nats every year! We're better than everyone else!



Notice my sig...

Grrr....
You make Bubba mad

Made my day, that one did^

(Any regular posters who know me well enough know that my team has almost no chance of making nats short of a miracle or a well staged traffic jam)

58th, but the year before they had less then 15 too I'm pretty sure and got somewhere in the 40s

I kind of try to think whether I would rather last at Nats or just missing it with a third at states?
