Olympix is blue!

Now, the Olympix will come soon, and there will be some people who will try to tell you that Mercator plays for fun, and that we never win. We definitely have fun playing. And truth is: last year we had two hard-earned second places, and this is, to my knowledge, the best we've ever had. And I understand those people's way of thinking that if you don't have any expectations, it doesn't hurt when you lose. I appreciate the advice.

But.

I've found out that getting really into the spirit, training, going out for a fight on the sportsfield, and playing a good game - even a losing one - is more fun than playing for fun. And it's not like you can't win - with a bit of luck, anyone can. So just get motivated, focus on what you are really good at (i.e. every block should just really focus on one or two sports, and the players should keep their strength for those instead of playing everything all day long), train twice or so before the Olympix to get to know each other (but don't train right the day before, so that you have muscleache when you most need your muscles), and, well, win a first place, for cryin out loud! :) Make me proud, you ol' buggers!

That said, you must of course win the "Best-supported college" award.

Otherwise, you all know how to go on being awesome in all aspects (and by "all aspects" I mean partying).

P.S. To MB2 people: THE LEGACY LIVES!
