While my ego may be the *size* of the Hindenburg, it certainly is not *bloated*, ie. larger then it should be.
| The Hindenburg was bloated; it clearly carried too much mass. Given a chance to rectify the situation, it converted that matter into another state, releasing a good deal of heat and light energy.
Definitely a cry for help. Poor blimp.

| Florida does consistantly well in MF.
Clemson didn't do so hot last year, and I'm not expecting much of a change. Maybe you can prove me wrong.

Maybe you can prove me wrong. | last year was...interesting for us, lets just put it like that. i'd like to note our A strip foilist beat shin, though he was way out of shape and couldn't keep up the grind the whole weekend. lost later bouts and only got 5th in individuals. he's not A strip anymore (*cough*)
once again, not making any predictions, just putting stuff on the table. if you like it, you can take it, if not, send it right back. | |

| Tool, I stand corrected. I based some of that off the last time I saw Florida (2 years ago).

| that we will. i'd like to point out that i feel our men's foil and epee teams this year are the strongest we've ever had (though ME may be better next year, incoming hotness).
edited to add: our sabre's the best we've ever had, too, though its definitely not our strong weapon. only started people fencing sabre 2 or 3 years ago and theres 0 coaching in SC for sabre. | |

| I know you'll be fencing epee, noodle, but Northwest will be a very difficult team to beat.
