"I WILL be arriving in the Nashville area on the 24th of December. My fan club and I will be staying at the elite Weigand retreat, and I will be available for interviews after 6PM on the 24th" , said Cooper during a heated press conference. Cooper closed by saying only "I'm looking forward to seeing all the family, and then whoopin their asses." Needless to say, Cooper's late-entry request was unanimously approved.
On the darker side of competition, despite his confirmed unexcused absence Scott Higginbotham has requested a formal retraction of his Circle status.
Higginbotham's request: "While I have almost completely recovered from the horrific injury suffered in the 2005 Quad (partially severed index finger resulting in significant blood loss and irreparable emotional trauma ), I regret that I will once again be unable to participate in this year's event. I am currently in my AEF deployment window, meaning I am 'on call' until January and cannot be more than 6 hours away from base until then. So, while I am preparing for a possible 5th combat deployment, you all please enjoy your games. Put me in your "circle of fear" if you must - but realize it is not fear that keeps me away, but an undying devotion to duty and love of freedom. The very same freedom you exercise as you gather to compete for the coveted Quad Trophy. Also - kiss my ass."The request was denied the following day by Quad Chairmen of Circle Exemptions Des Carroll and Tim Hale, who revealed that chartered flights are available 24 hours a day at what Carroll only referred to as a "reasonable cost, all things considered".

Some have asked me, "How tough is the Quad?" Apparently tough enough to bring a seasoned war veteran to his knees. Sure Scott can pilot a highly technical, multi-million dollar war machine with the highest of expertise, but the Quad is what truly separates the men from the little pink-pantied, thumb sucking sissies. Having beautiful (and now ashamed) daughters, I'm sure Scott will be competing with them in his own Quad: Barbies, tiaras, My Little Ponies, and nail painting. And he will still probably place last. Enjoy your tea party, Scott.
