<p>Wahooooo! Thanks for posting that!</p>

<p>impressive news TTM---Congrats - any chance your son played a part in that victory ?</p>

<p>Very impressive.
However three of the four team members are graduating this year,so it wouldn't shock me if there is somewhat of a dropoff going forward, for a while.</p>

<p>Nope SJCM, but a friend of ours from our Rockford days who is on the team did! He's running for Carleton's Biggest nerd and there is still time to vote! It's on the KRLX page. LOL We've been trying to drum up some business for him, but he's a distant second. He graduates this year.</p>

<p>You might recognize the guy that has the Wednesday 1 pm time slot on KRLX. ;p</p>

<p>True moneydad, although I wonder if they could win back-to-back at that level anyway. My friend's son has been involved with this for several years and he does graduate this year.</p>

<p>Mine is on the newly revitalized debate team. They got to NPDA nationals this year, but still have some work to do!</p>
