If I may get personal for a moment....
Thank you to ALL OF YOU for being part of this one fan's journey. I never thought that the "Times" would grow into something like this and I have in a very big way "THE GREATEST LISTENERS IN THE WORLD" (well, at least for me =P) to thank for the fun that I'm having with this experience. If you would have told me that this tournament and so many other things were going to become a reality with the podcast in these last 9 months I would've told you.."ME? The little kid from the Midwest?....NAAAAAAAAH!"
And look at me now.....pretty NEATO!
Now go out there and vote, celebrate BUT ABOVE ALL ELSE...................
HAVE FUN!!!!!!!
And remember, in the end...there can only be ONE!
REVIVE FOR 25....'CAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE!!!!
HIGH FIVES TO ALL!
Thanks Carl....
