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.

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.
