So, anyone want to respond?

I have been hearing all of these people that have never even seen the team play say the are "The most dedicated team there is" and all of that. I don't think dedication is something that is comparable between two different teams, it's not like I can see a dedication rating like this is Madden or something. What I'm saying is, you CAN'T just go out and say things they seem dedicated because they are happy for being pro- because who wouldn't be? I understand that they have this intense hell week thing, but as far as I can see they've only done that for the past 3 months at the most, right? I just don't see how you- someone that hasn't seen them play in person-you are only basing you opinion of what people are saying on the internet- can give them such a huge complement as of right now. I'd like to see how they handle the long haul of the season before I throw out things like calling them the most dedicated team there is.

I'm very happy we have a pro team out of the bay, I am in no way hating on the team. I just want to get an understanding of what these people on the internet are basing their compliments off of.

P.S. there's a difference between people that live across the country judging them-people that have never seen them play-and people that have played with them and such.

GO HURRICANES, dont know who you are so I guess that will have to do.
Since you live in CA, I would like to invite you out not for only 1 weekend (sat & sun) but 2 weekends to grind it out with us at Extreme in Modesto. After that I think you will appreciate it. Actually in a couple of weeks we are doing Part 2 of HELL WEEKEND. I would like to invite you out for that also. Starts 530 am physical condition til 930. Then straight to the field for drills till 3pm. Just send me an email so we can coordinate. explicit@team-explicit.com

I feel this is directed to me. I never said the most dedicated, I said they had the most heart I've ever seen out of any team.

You among others.

Heart and dedication are pretty much hand and hand.

I just don't think it's fair to judge them without seeing them, and to jusge them so early.

Aftermath has been doing it for longer, a lot of other teams have. It's just not fair to say a young team has more heart for practicing as hard as they are when we haven't even seen them handle a full pro season yet.

People are so quick to hop on the bandwagon. Wait until the season starts and then we will see what they are made of. All of these keyboard warriors with "Explicit" avatars are just your every-day PbN losers. As for the players on the team, best of luck in the new season. Show us what you've got.

People need to realize the difference between fanboys, and people who want to see the underdogs succeed. Such as myself . Glad you realized the difference, and didn't post up ignorant statements.

I can't wait to see what Explicit has got. If I'm not mistaken I saw a couple other teams on that Pro list I have never heard of before..

Guys we are not saying that this year or even next we will be a top ranked team. By no means. We understand that we have a long road ahead filled with obstacles. We understand that we must sacrafice and suffer before we can have success....But on that note. If you have any doubt in our dedication or commitment or heart...Please please please come out and I bet your eyes will OPEN real wide. The same invite I have above is open to anyone that has questions regarding the work we have put in, the work we are putting in or the work we will continue to put in. Easy way to get your answers is to come out and "GRIND" with us. Again here is my email explicit@team-explicit.com. Only serious ballers that are interested please email me. Thanks, Rob Montiero. By the way, this is the 4th offer I have put out but still no takers.

Like I said, I'm 2.5 hours away.

They could practice as hard as they want for days on end, doesn't show their dedication for four months down the road. I want to see if they can stay the way they are for a full pro season before I throw out the compliments.

I think in order to judge a team on how much heart and dedication they have, you gotta be on the team or know the team on a personal level.. You can't judge someone by looking at videos or reading up on them... you have to be there for the blood sweat and tears.. All the arguing, fighting, yelling means nothing in the end because ur just pushing each other to be better and in the end the team is still one whole and still loves each other.. Dedication is going that extra mile after practice or before practice doing ur own drills, working out... something you don't see if your reading or our not there.. Heart is something you gotta see for yourself.. When you see someone pushing themself to the limit just to make themselve and their teamates better... you can't see these things if ur not there.. Just my 2 cents

I wish I lived near you. I would take up that offer immediately. But Connecticut is too far. Nothing is a better learning experience than getting your *** kicked.

It seems that you think I am doubting you guys for some reason, as I said many times now, as soon as you and your team proves you can keep it up thought out an entire pro season, you will have props.

Hurricanes, just to clarify, we just didn't start working hard since yesterday. We have been doing this now for a year under XSV wing and guidance. They gave us the platform and tools and we are putting it to work....

Again, offer stands open for you to come out. I have set those 2 weekends aside for you. Guess the only way to get them answered is to come out. If 2 weekends is not long enough, I will extend it to a month of free paint and entry for you. This way you can get a good taste of what we are made of. I hope you kindly accept my offer. Heck, I will even by you lunch. If you need the gas money I can extend that to you also. I know how difficult College can be so I am willing to work to fit your schedule
