We drunkenly proclaimed the wrong date (from the rooftops) in Madison because we were too lazy to fact check our schedules. Once returning to The Dakota, we realized there were other happenings we needed to dedicate ourselves to. This has been the date since the end of March, but we do apologize for the lack of communication. Please, Dave F Murray, please make it to Burning Mort. Mort will be there.

Get packin', boys and girls.

Somebody is getting warmer in their mind's eye view of what Burning Mort is all about, and his name is Buck.

Lou and Mort are the best and bring a whole other level of energy to any Tecmo spectacle. This tourney sounds like an absolute blast and is on Team North Dakota's bucket list. DT, these are the kind of testimonials that give fuel to what will be the greatest Tecmo Experience ever crafted at Burning Mort. I don't know who the hell you are, but you are a beast. Also, if you don't mind borrowing us that burning torch in July, we'll use it to ignite the literal flames at Burning Mort. This melts my heart and gets my blood flowing in all the right places. Edit: Is there a way to get the recorded stream? Would love to use that crowd chant moving forward if at all possible.

Mark it on your calendars as such.

I lied with this factoid, as I see he did play, but am still convinced that Bailey has reached the apex of God Mountain. This was the intel fed to me by the Posse. Never trust the Posse. Love the recap, Chris, and wish we could have chugged Malort together. Your Vogt Universe Signature Card is going on my mantle.

5 years deep in this Tecmo Madison mess and the ND crew is still in awe of the event. Tecmo Madison has gone from a 20-person drunkfest at the Plaza (what my personal wet dreams are made of) to the gold standard of what Tecmo tournaments are supposed to be: a 256-person drunkfest with the best Tecmoers that ever were. Below are are few blurred memories left floating in my head when all the Tecmo dust settled: This year the competition kicked up a notch once again, backed up by both my personal experience and by Bruddog's unbelievable stats. Although some unbelievably talented competitors could not make it (Regulator, Butt Douglas to name a couple), some big names were getting mowed down early. The bracket was a bloody slaughter. Congrats to #1 Tecmo Psycho and #2 Coconuts. Nice to see fresh faces in the title game. I was offered as a pleasure sacrifice to Mort in pool play. Was so petrified when he picked Cowboys vs. Broncos that I picked the Colts. Wes L. and Matt B. informed me that the Tecmo God has a name. The Orenga Posse was in full force with dog costumes, duck hunt attire, stupid hats, a life-size Dog-Orenga cutout, whistle thiingies, the best people to walk the Earth, and everyone's favorite #eatshitorenga himself. Dave Fucking Murray flew in from Florida, concocted a perfect internet streaming event with Super Nintendo cables, drank some Yukon Jack, and DIDN"T EVEN PLAY. If anyone clamors in the internet closet that the stream wasn't good enough, I will change the official Madison hashtag from #eatshitorenga to #eatshit(enter your name here), and it won't be a joke. Dave is a God among men. Speaking of God among men, Bailey has officially reached the apex. He drove from Minnesota to help set up the tournament, coordinate all the games, talk smoother than owl shit on the stream, purchased the ND Crew a bunch of beers, then helped clean up the tourney. He also did this WITHOUT PLAYING. I cannot tell you how much I admire this attitude. Bailey and Dave Fucking Murray exemplify what dreamlike atmosphere Tecmo Madison has created -- Guaranteed fun no matter who steps in the door. You went 0-2 in your games? Boo hoo. 5-1? Yay. Doesn't much matter. Saddle up and grab a shot of tequila. Put it on ND's tab. Tecmo Graveyard. I always tiptoed and whispered near it. Reading from the Old Testament Book of LT. Exchanging dirty jokes and non-stop good times with Grogan and Testaverde. Flo buying 4 packs of Tecmo Trading Cards in hopes of getting his own card on the cheap, but getting skunked. Don't even think he got a Mort. The #TecmoXI Twitterverse. Still laughing today. Having Tecmo Legends' faces light up when asked to sign their own Trading Cards. Attempting to be Rikster's wingman at the Plaza and failing miserably. Hoped upon a star that first Tecmo woman to win against Luke, but that Nebraskan has no manners or class. Just check out his card (they never lie): Last but not least, and not in bullet point because it is the most important. Thank you to the Holzbauers, Orenga, Table Score Guy (Larry), the Child of Destiny, The Ladies of Tecmo and all that put this thing together. You have given us something special to look forward to every year. Superb job. And as always...... Eat Shit Orenga.

Do they have Super 8 to Super 8 walkie-talkie systems in place? Maybe an underground tunnel? The North Dakota crew is booked at Super 8 South for $50 per night, courtesy of William Shatner and his negotiation skills. Dave, we would love to have you next door so we can cabpool, because we plan on spending insignificant time in the rooms and a significant amount of time on the dance floors of Madison.

The North Dakota Crew has yet to book a hotel. Our annual stay is normally at the luxurious Red Roof Inn, but we haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. If there was something closer and easier, we might be up for changing pace this year. Headcount = 4

Just in time for another card reveal. I give to you a high profile Madison attendee (and Ryder Cup drop out): #12 of 54 -- DotDon

With Tecmo XI conversation at a fever pitch, it seems only appropriate that Tecmo trading cards start to become sporadically published here. 17 of 54 -- Vogt Universe 22 of 54 -- Flo

One of our North Dakota brethren currently resides in Sioux Falls. We are going to meet him in Minneapolis (a great meeting point for SD and ND folks), then shotgun a few beers and hit the road. Could be an option for you if you really need a ride. We would need to rent a vehicle, so costs might be close to the same, but you would have the ride of a lifetime with 4 other Dakotans. This image is exactly what I think of when discussing North Dakota. This image is the cornerstone of our state. We are going to try our damnest this year, but we are thinking about gearing up for a 2016 Tecmo blowout. Something the Tecmo world has never seen. The Ryder Cup's next appearance is on the moon, according to the Tecmo trading cards. Because of that, we are going to be hosting a different, but similarly classed, event. Tecmo Madison has been the boon of Tecmo players world around and has influenced many a tournament. We hope to shake it up and make Tecmo Madison proud at the next ND event! And for good measure: #36 of 54 -- Plaza Toilets

Regardless of his appearance status, ArtVandelay is a God among men! Here's his card in celebration! Just look at that steely gaze!

"This year I will practice Tecmo every day until Madison." Both of these are the same phrase, wrapped in a different drapery of lies. Nonetheless, I announce to you another card reveal! #31 -- Treats GarbageTSB and I were discussing the literature on the trading cards in the midst of the Ryder Cup. I informed him that, unlike some of my phrases, the words on these cards are incapable of telling a lie!

Opus. Now, cards. I introduce to you, Team Minnesota. Mmmmmmmmm, boy! #7 -- EdisaurusRex #8 -- QB Browns #9 -- Sconnie #10 -- Butt Butt wait, there's more! One more to be exact. #29 -- Ladies of Tecmo

Only the greatest can cheer for you. We will celebrate your writing with TWO more Hallowed Training Cards! (Depending on your work environment, the following images may not be suitable for the workplace, aka NSFW, because their legendary Tecmo Status may overload the servers.) #2 -- Bastard Son of Pat Beach # 27 -- Knobbe, Grandfather of Tecmo

The Hidden Bonus Card: #Bonus of 54 -- Long Walk Regulator

I just started throwing consonants at that name, hoping to get it right. This is not the only incorrect spelling on the cards either. Whoops! Next person to reveal a card spelling blunder receives that particular trading card delivered to them, along with a random card selection, sealed in a standard issue envelope via USPS! Also, Hero Status was granted solely by the Tecmo Gods. If you question The Status, you are questioning your own existence.
