@kevinhirn It’s definitely an interesting semester to be teaching IR. Glad I spent the second day of class teaching Mearsheimer etc so these (non debate) students have a frame of reference but really did not want such an example to happen in real time. Yikes.
We are in the semis of Pine Crest and quarters of Harvard. Everyone please send us all of the good vibes - so excited for Audrey/Sid/Harlan/Chris! #gbsnow
Great weekend for GBS debate so far. Four teams in elims at Harvard and Pine Crest and three still debating tomorrow. Good luck to Audrey/Sid v GBN, Humza/Connor v @NewTrierDebate, and Harlan/Chris v Thomas Jefferson. We are seed 5 at Harvard and seeds 4/8 at Pine Crest. #gbsnow
Audrey/Sid/Harlan/Chris are in the quarters of Dowling tomorrow morning - they already earned their TOC bid; next goal is to conquer day three! Maha and Vivi will also be in the semis of novice! GO SOUTH! #gbsnow
It’s that time of year when incoming frosh start thinking about classes for next year - make sure you tell your counselors that you want to take debate 1 - you must take the class to be on the team! We can’t wait to meet you #gbsnow

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. If you're a coach, you probably already knew this — at least anecdotally. Unfortunately, the data is even worse than I thought.
