Dear fourcreativity, I said I have rested my case, but I feel I have to clarify the fact again. I never traveled to Pennsylvania to watch any competitions. Are...
Victor and Peizhong, I fear you are guilty. That has been demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt by innuendo, lack of specifics, and "everybody knows". To...
I agree. Many have made valid points. I was sent to this site by another parent and think all sides should rest their case before it gets uglier. Although I...
All, Getting back to the "healthy discussion" part of this... I think what we are discovering is what my company has been teaching its employees for years:...
I absolutely agree that taking a team to see how this year's problems were solved by others is a fantastic thing, and that experience can be used to help guide...
Mr. Cowling, Can I ask you to check the facts before becoming furious? My memory is fuzz about what box we used, so I went back to check the photos. Here is...
Thanks for leading this back to the healty part of the discussion. But we had to clarify the absurd accusations and those so called "everybody knows" rumors....
The Reality is…. This has been a very interesting post, and without pointing fingers at a certain team or coach, the problem is real. I have been a ...
I agree with you about the reality, but that reality does not give some people the right to shamelessly making up rumors toward Victor and our team. Don't you...
Hello All ... After years of being OotM ... I think (at least for me) it is time to call it quits. I wish every team (yes every team) much success. This just...
PW ... Thank you. For me, this is my last post and I do wish you all well. I'll be deleting my membership to this group. I just hope the spirit of OotM...
I have to put my two cents in here. I was a coach last year, and was unable to get a team together this year. We were a Div. 1 first year team that made it to...
"our team", which one 2007 or 2008? If 2008, then let my congratulate them. I was at states and saw their structure; it was very creative, intricate and...
I am very sorry that I have to talk about 2007 again. I am very tired of this and am sure everyone is too. However, I simply cannot rest when someone is still...
worlds 2007, I am dying to know why two coaches from Oak Hill switched off 2 brown paper bags in hallway,brought from weigh in {holding suposedley official...
Please stop it. I've been an OotM coach for 5 years and a member of this list for almost as long. In my opinion, the list's purpose is not to provide an...
1. If you saw something you felt was illegal in 2007 at a competition and you did nothing than you're just as culpable. Shame on you. 2. That was 2007, not...
For those teams planning on competing at World Finals:- We have a request. Our team would be 5 kids and 1 coach. 3 of us really want to stay in Odyssey...
Hi all, I've been coaching OotM for 5 years now. This year, I had a team that did two problems at Regionals and finished 2nd in both and in one case by...

Hey everyone- I had 2 quick things I wanted to send an email about! 1. T-shirts I work at CustomInk.com, which is an online site for customized t-shirts. I saw...
I was thinking there needs to be people that go to the schools and talk about OM. Even in the same county, some schools know about it and others do not. I...
