mandan,

I know, pickledad will be over here soon trying to kosher/dill/squeeze me into a jar before you know it...
;)
but, the laser peeps have been relatively mum lately...have they taken the bigtrain route? have they mysteriously been abducted by something Mulder would have investigated? maybe they are on a "Lost"-type island where they are being chased by the "Others" (ie, Slammer nation) into submission or death...who knows, but a statman can have a wild imagination! ;D

the new trend is the birthdate year, like Cinci Doom 95, or Buckeye Heat 92 (catchy, btw
;) ;) ;)

One of the reasons that I beleive the Buckeye Heat went with the birthyear for some teams was to eliminate the confusion between the two Buckeye Heat 14U teams. Last year, as a 12U team, my team was know as Buckeye Heat - Clark. This year, we moved up to the 14U division there are now two 14U Buckeye Heat teams and both are coached by "Clarks". (no relation) It would really confuse everyone if both were called Buckeye Heat - Clark, hence the new names - Buckeye Heat 93 and Buckeye Heat 94.

What color do you get when you combine green and purple?........Aqua. Well, that's the answer I was given. Yes it came from within the nation.

Just curious if any of the voting coaches could speak about what criteria they based their decisions on in ranking the teams. Strength of schedule?, Head to head competition, watching team play, team reputation, etc.
thanks!

I would guess that it's done the same way any pre-season poll is done, whether it's college football, or BB, baseball, or whatever the sport may be. ?It's mostly tied into last seasons results, addition or losses of players, tradition/reputation, coaching, and some guessing. ;)

wvanalmsick,
If thats the answer you got they are way off. Being in the printing industry there's no way you get aqua from that combo. I think they just wanted a color no one else would touch. Great team bad color ;D

Okay in all seriousness, with so many fabulous colors in the palette, how can anyone submit to a silly old boring color like RED, although SILVER wasn't bad ;). Have a fondue party, ride horses, be FREE I tell you ... and get a cool color like like nobody's business ... fuschia anybody? ...

Hmm, let's try a few ...

Lasers Salmon?
Lasers Watermelon?
Lasers Sky Blue?
Lasers Lavender?
Lasers Coral?
Lasers Indigo?
Lasers Burnt Siena?

Or, how about getty complex, adding the element of patterns ...

Lasers Argyle?
Lasers Plaid?

Lasers Sapphire?? :p

There is a 100% chance that it will never be Lasers Sapphire. Anyone want action on that? And no, I'm not part of Laser Nation. :cool:

... okay then, ... how about Sapphires Silver? :-/ :) ... (that is not likely either though)

Going to be a fun year, just 45 days or so away from lacing them up! Although partial to 14u, looking forward to seeing the 16u Sapphires do battle with some of the other teams in that 16u Poll also.

Pickledad and Wgman21,

Seeing that I have not been around travelball very much and just stick with the local rec-travel, I am really confused about the Laser Sapphire or Sapphire Silver? Is this a "Gem/Mint grade" team of the future? ;)

Hey Bink,

Good to hear from you. That was just a personal twist meant as fun, since it is also a color, following along & playing off the Laser colors theme - was actually surprised it got picked up for a reply or 2. All in good fun, and good wishes to all present & former team mates & friends. Is Dakota still lacing 'em up with the "team of many colors", have you consolidated your tribe to one Org for travel economics & simplicity?? Hope you are well!!
