Shout out to M.I.T.
MIT finished in 2nd Place Overall this year...for the third straight season...this coming off a 5th Place Overall Bridge in 2011. That is a TREMENDOUS run of success and MIT is clearly knocking on the door of a NSSBC Championship, which would be the first in the New England Regional's history.

10 Signs You're a NSSBC Nerd
1. You're sick of sifting through links about the Steel Bridge Songfest while doing NSSBC recon.
2. You're tired of the joke "Truss Us".
3. You've said the word "Brizzage".
4. You have 37 different jokes about 'erections'...not one has to deal with human anatomy.
5. Going temporarily blind due to weld exposure doesn't feel abnormal anymore.
6. You've had a physical altercation with graduate students over space in a structures lab.
7. When you read any acronym labeled ETS, you think École De Technologie Supérieure.
8. You've had to break up with somebody because, "They just couldn't understand."
9. A required all-nighter isn't that big of a deal anymore.
10. You have calluses from excessive bolting practice.
Any others?

Poly's In...

Congrats to Cal Poly, SLO...survived the witch hunt.
They add their extremely light and competitive design to the Top of the National field in Akron.
Going to be a close NSSBC...unless one of the top Teams puts in extra hours.
