This weekend in Commerce City, CO (same place as SW Club Open Regionals last year.) I was hoping the weather was going to be nicer than last time I was there, but the report keeps getting worse. Went from highs in the 70s with no rain, no wind when I checked last week, to the current report of highs of 59, 15mph winds, and 20% chance of rain. Still, I doubt anything can be as miserable as TiV '09 or SB Invite '07.
We are the 16 seed (ouch) and are in Pool C along with Cal Poly - SLO (3), UCLA(6), and SDSU(9). We were originally the 15 seed, but I'd rather lose to UCLA than any of the teams in Pool D. Maybe a bit selfish, but hey, its my last regionals and I want to have some fun playing against old Monster teammates. I've had more fun the few times we've played UCLA this season than in almost any other games. If we hold seed (C4) then we won't play a crossover, and will likely have either APU or Claremont first round Sunday (man oh man I hope its APU -- revenge time.) I think we have a good chance of breaking seed at this tournament. Score reporter may not think so, but how many times has score reporter been wrong? (Answer: a lot.)
Anyways, all of Nightlife (except KG and Evan) are on the same flight out of John Wayne Friday night. Maybe this time I'll even remember to bring my wallet (with ID.) Flying out of LAX with no ID was interesting, but not something I want to have to do again. (Don't worry, I didn't get the 'full' treatment.) So it should be a fun flight (most of Grass Ninjas are also on our flight.)
All in all, I'm looking forward to a fun filled last Regionals. Good luck to everyone else competing in Regionals this weekend.
