Daniel talks about not going for the K:
First, I'd like to say that I really miss camp and the greatest lab evah, BBHS. New Mexico isn't as bad as I thought it would be, although it is still pretty boring, but putting that aside for now, there's a question that I would like to ask, how many times did James and I go for the K? Now, you might be asking yourself why I'm asking this question and the reason is simple, generally speaking, James and I were considered the K team. I really don't know why that is, considering the answer is 0. We never went for the K and it barely ever made it past the block, if it was even in the 1NC. At the tournament, we never ran it, not even once, although extraneous circumstances might have been the reason for that(Randall, Repko, Hammond). No one can say we can't adapt to our judges at least. Now, you might say, well you ran the K aff and that's true but we didn't run it exclusively, again extraneous circumstances(Val, agreement to not run jungle pic). Now, I'll be honest, the idea to go 1-off came into our heads, A LOT, mostly out of laziness(sign of a true non-K debater, obvi). We did also go for 8 minutes of fem in the 2nc and James really wanted to go for, but I went 4 on midterms and they kind of dropped it, so I convinced him otherwise, curse those extraneous circumstances. Looking back, I can kind of sort of see why we might have been labeled the K team but I still contend that the K was NEVER in the 2NR, even after I went 5 minutes on it in the 1NR(good times). I guess I'm okay with that label cause the K is obviously the best argument in debate, except for RVIs on T.
