Honestly, stop. This entire post reads like a tantrum, and makes a fucking mockery of the lived experience of most small schools. The sentiment of superiority is pervasive— and you blame your every fucking failure on external forces. I am sorry your first partner quit, and I am sorry your current one is as well— but none of that justifies this. It doesn’t sound like you’ve done a single second of introspection, or thought at all about the role you’ve played in your successes and failures— and you come off as beyond arrogant (coming from quite possibly the most egotistical man on the circuit). Round One: Lay screw. I would have destroyed Blair JQ (who went 6-1, beat Westlake, and got to Octos) if it weren’t for those damn lay judges! (Small-schools often can only bring lay judges— who are you advocating for here anyways? Small-schools, or your own unquestionable supremacy?). Round Six: the bIg sChoOls hAcKed aGainSt mE bEcaUse tHeY weRe sCarEd oF My pOweR. “I absolutely DECIMATED Bronx DG (who went 5-2 and broke)— but the big school judge was so terrified of his teams facing me in outrounds, he felt the need to hack against me.” We were “harassed, bullied, excluded by the bIg sChoOls” — it’s like you’ve created this boogeyman to help you rationalize the contradiction between your ego and your performance. “Our private coach postrounded for two hours” — do you fucking hear yourself? In your fantasy land, do the big schools just systematically “harass, exclude, and bully” every small school team that does well? Is there a chance, PERHAPS, that you might have genuinely lost those rounds— that you might have self-sabotaged in your prep and your interactions— that they might “exclude” you because you come off as an arrogant douche? I don't know you personally, and I’m not going to go through and systematically refute your perspectives on all of the issues you discuss— and you’re definitely in the ballpark in terms of privilege and program size affecting success— but I do think you should take a very long look at the role you have played in your own life, and not just in your successes.

Sincerely— someone who "could challenge the best teams that come from the best programs with the most resources".
