Morning. The sun rises. We awake. Drive to campus. We are again the first team here. We won the NDT race. In your face everyone that's not us! Its very quiet. Everyone is doing some sort of work. The only noise is the tap of keyboards and the squeak of highlighting. We're also filling out the elim round strike sheet. Because we plan on being in elims.
Most of us know the 'Break Round' feeling. That sort of permeates the atmosphere right now. Both teams are in a 'Must Win Both Rounds' situation. As previously stated, rounds 7 and 8 are today, followed by the first elim round. Not sure if anybody saw Will's comment on the previous post, but I think it's worthy of being on the front page:
To quote Tim's legendary comment from Clint and Struth's equally legendary 2006 NDT run: "We'll be coming in through the back door."
Tim was right then, and I think Will is right now.
Given the situation, the coaching staff worked late into the night. I'm not sure Adri even slept at all. This is the moment.
To quote John Ashcroft - Let the Eagle soar, like she's never soared before....

This is when a whole year's worth of working your ass off pays dividends. The backdoor is wide open. Now is the time to go for the kill, no holds barred, guns drawn, berzerker. Good luck, eagles.
