We coulda been in that picture... Tied for wins with Texas... 4 touches short on indicator. Lost 5-4 to their A-strip in the team rounds. Freakin' beat him 5-1 in both pools of the individual.

Crap all.

I was more referring to a certain very speedy member of the Temple team making a gnome-heist.

2> We forgot all about your needs. We were too busy fulfilling our own.

not all of them anymore, their C strip is almost literally half sized. he must be a freshman, hasn't eatten enough of their special recipe epee formula or something.


and the doc format is what the results were sent out in. these are fresh off the press, ladies.

Seriously now... this picture is us fencing purdue last year. B strip

Also - the picture is way too freakin' big.

Seriously

[snuffy_Purdue]

Yeah... the big guys are Jay(skinny 3rd place B fencer), and Big Joe(A fencer). The epeeists are the freaks of our club because they just never seem to be normal sized(for epee). Our C fencer (Ben) was close to 5'8" and the two others are close to the same height(7 foot-ish), but Joe is about as big as a Volkswagon Beatle.

My favorite quote came from one team (don't ask, I can't remember) who took a look at Jay and shouted at their B fencer, "Dude, you got this one, just use your height advantage."

That pic is awesome. It is huge but it gives a great effect, I scrolled down to see your fencer, and when he was in the screen I panned right and saw Jay's torso, and none of his mask. I showed it to my roomie(club member as well) and we had a good hearty laugh about it... still am...

*LOL* So both the A and B are 6'8", but as was noted by someone else, Ben is 5'4" (sorry Snuffy, YOU'RE taller than Ben) so you can't complain about all of them. Also, I've seen the C slot fencer fleche OUT OF HIS SHOES, leaving one behind on the strip a time or two. And he ties 'em tight.

Seriously now... this picture is us fencing purdue last year. B strip

Ok, so Jay's a little tall. He'll make everyone look short. Even the crazy tall epeeist from U of Mich is 6'7" from what I know.

the really frustrating thing sometime (also good for a laugh) is that the Purdue's womens epee team is getting shorter and shorter (hey, my B fencer is 5'2" and I'm a grand total of 5'6"). We're not exactly awe inspiring when we step on the strip.

let me just lay claim to this result... I went 12-7, when I had no business going any less than 17-2. I wasn't sick. I wasn't injured (any more than usual), and though the reffing was at times horrendous, I didn't lose any bouts to it. I just fenced poorly for a chunk of the competition. my two squad mates dropped a combined 4 bouts.

UMass men also lost the Men's team by only 3 bouts, so I'll claim that, too (though certainly there were other bouts we could have picked up).

That said, Army had a strong team this year, and I just want to congratulate them. I also want to echo U.M. Sabre's comments about Army. I thouroughly enjoy fencing them each and every time, and they are some of the best (and most polite) opponents around.

I look forward to seeing the blood bath between them and UMass next year from the sidelines (or maybe from a distance, if I don't go as a ref, organizer, or coach). I also look forward to seeing how Navy responds next year (or if they bother to) to their sunken battleship.

Side note: Best reffing on the weekend definitely goes to Valerie Providenza, Kerry Walton, and Boaz Ellis.
