For YHC it’s a privilege and honor to lead such a fine group of men. When designing a beatdown YHC puts ample thought into meticulous planning and preparation. Rehearsing the mission statement, charging and testing the Bose speaker, even skimming through the Alanis Morissette playlist on Spotify in order to set the desired mood. With…
When YHC landed in GSO last night after a worktrip to Chicago, his phone was inundated with jubilant texts about the ongoing hoops game between his beloved Deacons and the school just west of Raleigh. Knowing that Wake does better when YHC doesn’t pay attention, YHC still decided to turn on the radio for the…

YHC arrived ontime-ish for the beatdown, so we got at it with Warmarama, but pretty soon we had to move, nay FLEE!, as we were downwind from the Grease Recycler Truck outside the Bailey Power Plant. It was harsh. Finally found a place up a block and upwind on Vines so we could avoid the…

YHC arrived as the Murphers were finishing up. YHC was a little worried since he couldn’t get Slack to work, but luckily Van Gogh was there to offer advice and eventually got it working (see below for why). As the rest of the PAX were coming, YHC was wondering about Adobe since he was bringing…
YHC Spent the better part of Sunday, 0745-1700 at my 2.1’s Volleyball Tournament in Greensboro. Let’s just say that sitting in a warehouse type building with hundreds of 12 yr old volleyball players and their parents screaming is not ideal. With volleyball on the mind, it had to be incorporated into the beatdown… that is,…
YHC was excited get back out to one of my favorite AO’s to Q a hopefully challenging albeit simple beatdown.

A couple variations of the beatdown were developed, but upon realizing we would have more than enough coupons, Plan A…
