Maybe you've missed the discussions from this thread so far.Squanto wrote:We have already started our run, following the coastline, we are going round the continent 5 times before the new year just to get warmed up for intensive training starting in January. We will be prepared for nationals and will hold our championship.
Even sarcasm of that sort has an air of the assumption that you will absolutely make nationals, and there's no chance that you won't. Seriously, round the continent 5 times? What was the point of you posting that?M-E-T-H-O-D MAN wrote:Nicely veiled, I know you're talking about Waterville.zyzzyva98 wrote:I absolutely believe that my team has the talent to get to nationals.

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.
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.
