DCIAGEOUT Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 (edited) My only biff is that they counted scores wrong, if I remember correctly, 2 times on Phantom Regiment during finals week. Prelims they were given a 92 and then the brass caption award. Pat had every reason by the second account to get the feathers ruffled a bit. Maybe they should have more than one person being accountable for tabulation of scores. Just a thought.

byline Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 OK, I'm confused: I've read in this thread that Cavies and Phantom were erroneously announced as co-winners of the brass caption, but I'm also reading that Cadets and Phantom were announced as co-winners. Which is correct? It would be nice to at least start off with the correct info, or we're all as guilty as DCI for spreading misinformation. George's reaction would make more sense to me if it were Cavies and Phantom who were announced as the caption winners, no Cadets. He would know that Cadets won, and weren't being publicly acknowledged at all for that achievement. If it was announced as a tie between Cadets and Phantom, then George's reaction drops a bit in my estimation (for the same reasons as my earlier complaint).

MN DCI Fan Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 (edited) OOOPS! I just re-read that, and you're right: it says Cavies and PR, not Cadets and PR. I mis-read it. My BIG-TIME bad!!! So about that novel I posted a few posts back? Never mind. My confidence in George Hopkins has been restored.

fan Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I consulted my lip reading friend, who confirmed he said: "Excellent work gentlemen. I know your under a lot of stress, but I'm glad you got it right in the end. I know how hard it would have been on my good friend George Hopkins not to get the credit he's due. That's why I looked so upset there for a second. Good catch" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris ncsu Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Whether the directors knew beforehand or not, I was flabbergasted that it was announced as Cavis-PR. Not because they weren't good, but because Cadets won quarters brass by 0.3, lost semis brass by 0.1...so it seemed that, with averaging, Cadets would probably get the Ott trophy...ESPECIALLY given a 99.15. And if not, Cavies would JUST squeak by. But when announced as Cavies-PR, my friend and I said wow, Cadets must have gotten nearly-perfect in every other caption and just somehow really stunk up in brass tonight...

It's very entertaining. :P You win this thread. Good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardman Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I am a Cadets fan. Sometimes, not always, I post in response to them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, ALWAYS. Sorry dude, but Nikk is right about you...and that's ok...it just gets annoying at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more annoying than the way some of you defend your favorites, which was my point. If you know me and know what to expect, why do you kids get so worked up? Noone asked you to read what I write. Get over it. Edited August 16, 2005 by TXMystreaux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
