NOVEMBER 5TH, 2008!

Seth Einterz '11 -- Hey folks, just getting a blog off before rushing to Physics class.

The weather is gorgeous, the leaves have turned brilliant colors, and America has spoken. All in all, it feels like the cross country post-season and fast times. Speaking of America, did everyone catch Obama’s acceptance speech? If not, here’s an excerpt:

(APPLAUSE)

Tonight, tonight, I say to the people of Wabash College, to Phi Psi’s and Kappa Sigs and independents across this great campus: Enough. This moment...

(APPLAUSE)

This moment, this moment, this post-season is our chance to keep, in the 21st century, Coach Johnson’s promise alive.

Because in two weeks, in the Great Lakes Region, the same race that brought you national caliber teams like Calvin and Ohio Northern, the NCAA will ask the Midwest for four of the same teams as last year.

(AUDIENCE BOOS)

And we are here -- we are here because we love this country too much to let the next National Championship look just like the last nine.

(APPLAUSE)

On November 15th, on November 15th, we must stand up and say: Nine is enough.

(APPLAUSE)

So, there you have it from the Next Commander in chief. We last made it to nationals in 1999. Nine years without a team going to Nationals is long enough. It’s time for change in 2008!
