We all did so well. I couldn't be happier or more content with my teammates. (I know Jen and Ronnie were there, even if only in spirit!) Now, for individual thanks: Wayne, thank you for your constant leadership and organization. Thank you for the example you set with your unbelievable skill. I am constantly in awe of your abilities. Also, thank you for having such good taste in selecting our team! (I nominate Wayne as team MVP for this session) Mike, thank you for always being our cheerleader and for giving sound advice when it's needed. (I nominate Mike as best team coach and motivator) Kristen, thank you for all of the Duran Duran songs and for driving SO FAR every week just to play. What an asset you are! (I nominate Kristen as most dedicated player) Peter, thank you for sucking up your insecurities and coming to pool each week to play. I know you think you are horrible at it, but you have improved so much! We are lucky to have you. (I also nominate Peter for most improved player) Ren, thank you for all of the saves this season--you always eek out a win when we need it the most. (I nominate Ren as team secret weapon) Jennefer...what can I say about you except that you are a joy to be around and you look hella good shooting pool! (I nominate Jen as team hottie) Ronnie, thanks for coming to play even when your days are so long and it's so late for you! You are such a natural talent and you shoot with such authority! (I nominate Ronnie as team "layer-down-of-the-smack" I love you all. I hope we can continue together as a team. What an awesome night! We all did so well. I couldn’t be happier or more content with my teammates. (I know Jen and Ronnie were there, even if only in spirit!)

There was this horrible accident long ago, and a tragic half-amputation... I won't say who.  But look at the bright side - <a href="http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2006/10/10-05-06tdc/10-05-06darts-08.asp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">He has more room in his jockey shorts</a>.<a href="http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2006/10/10-05-06tdc/10-05-06darts-08.asp%3Che" rel="nofollow" / rel="nofollow"> We have 5 guys on the team (me, Ren, Ronnie, Mike, Peter).

Congrats. Don't know much about pool, except that it takes me 90 minutes to complete a game. Of course, that would make me a cheap date.

It has been fun to watch everyone improve so much over the last year. Wayne, you have been consistantly strong. Ren is clutch (he showed it last night). Shawna and Kristen, I admire their focus and attitude (twin power!). Jennefer and Ronnie were great when they could make it. But Peter is a whole other story. I nominate him for the 'most improved' award!!! I'm not sure if it is the rectangular thinking or what but he has become a secret weapon. I am definitely proud to be a part of this team!!!!!!!
