Congratulation!! I would like to congratulate all the winners of this years awards. Spacifically, of course, Sam Alvey. Sam is a great inspiration to everyone. I look forward to working with you this year and seeing what we can accomplish as a team. I would also like to congratulate Mr. Roufus on winning the Coach of the year award. It was an honor being on the list with you. May you have a successful 2010.

	Awards So hey, since I wasn't able to make the event, can somebody tell me how I get my hands on these awards for our guys? Whatever you do, don't give em to O'Malley, I think he is still holding last years ransom........he wants his jock strap back but there is no way I'm giving that up!!!!!

	... Hey Mark, I have the awards and since I don't need (or want) Pat's jock strap I can hand the nifty little bits of paper over to you, perhaps this weekend? Can you meet me somewhere on the southern edges of Madison, near the swamp, at midnight Saturday? Don't bring friends, flashlights or dogs. Wear white. Jane

Sounds Fishy Hey wait, that sounds kind of fishy. Not the white clothes, swamp, or midnight meeting......but who wouldn't want Pat's Jock Strap? Something just doesn't sound right to me. But Yeah Jane, we can meet up at some point. Do you have this years awards as well? Or just last years? Ha ha. Congrats on the Award too, keep working hard! Get my number from Pat (I'd post it here for ya, but this isn't exactly a mature bunch when it comes to prank phone calls) and give me a rung when you have time to meet up.

	... Mark P, I only had the new ones. Sent them off with T so you should be seeing them soon. You'll have to give Pat the jockstrap I'm afraid if you ever want to see last year's... Btw, thanks, and congratulations to you and your guys too, you all are definitely deserving of them! I'm thinking next year maybe you should send a rep from your team though, to accept any new awards you may receive.
