Freedom Fest Champions and VBB Practice
The Champs
So a few weekends ago I played with the "St. Cloud Alum" team at Freedom Fest, if you can even call it a St. Cloud Alum team. I think they had like 4 alumni and two current players...?? Then the team was stacked with zero players such as the infamous Pats, Dikeman, TO, Nazzle, Geo Bot, Mix master little ticket etc. etc.
Game 1: USA vs. UMD
We started off the tournament against my future college team. Northern Lights. You could tell they were a college team from the start, we threw junk zone against them pretty much the whole time and they would make an unforced turnover which we would quickly capitalize on. It didn't help that they were missing Yossi, Creature, Jake, LT, Smurgs....and well myself. So, I didn't think too much of it and I am very excited to play with those guys this upcoming year.
I believe the final score was 13-4.
Game 2: USA vs. Team America
This game was against some Iowa State boys, including Mike Lun (he's chinese ya know), Fat Smellsworth, and then some Isuc women such as Gibbs, Derscheid, and Tai-won-obiwan kanobi. We didn't really come out too hard in the beginning of this one, and they did. I think they went up 4-2 on us with two breaks in there. Also, Gibbs posted in her blog that she got a "D" on me, and I would like to clarify. She got a 'D' but did not "D" me. She was guarding me on the dump and I think it was Ike who decided to throw a dump pass to me when she was standing in between me and the disc. Sooooo, I was promptly heckled afterwards and heard about it the rest of the day. After going down 2 I believe we scored the next 5 to take it to half and ended up winning the game like 13-7 or something like that. But the obvious highlight of this game was when someone ripped a lofty huck downfield to black Pat and Mike Lun had inside position on him, but Pat decided to ignore this fact and place his testicles on Mike's shoulders while he grabbed the disc over him. Mike called a foul, but then took it back realizing that it wasn't Pat's hands on his shoulders but his balls resting there gently...... hope you like that Mike haha.
Game 3: USA vs. Goldbergstein
We then played the Hopkins alumni team with DFJ. He was not pleased that I backed out from playing with his team to join the stacked team, so he grabbed me before the game and using his burly strength held me against my will and gave me a hicky on my neck.... I'm still finding beard hairs all over. The kids looked good, they were obviously playing against some tougher competition but I really cannot wait to see these guys when they've got a few years of college ultimate under their belt. Any team that's getting a Hopkins' kid should consider themselves lucky because they're already gonna be well versed in the sport, spirited, and hard working. And alot of credit goes to those guys' coaches. We win this game 13-5 or so.
Game 4: USA vs. Liquid A$$et$
My boys, my buddies, my friends. They were looking good earlier in the day which made me very happy to see. I'm not gonna really go into depth because I'm already getting bored of typing, but we won the game 13-9 I think. My least favorite part of the tournament happened in this game when I lined up across Louis (Fast St. Thomas boy, only gonna be a Jr.) and I told my team "somebody switch with me I can't keep up with him", and they were all like "quit being a pussy you'll be fine". So of course I guard him he gets like two unders, then goes deep on me and scores.....fucking ginger.
Highlight of the day was going to the Lake and hanging out in the Sub Zero water.... the water wasn't that cold but the Sub Zero players literally dibbsed the water to be theirs. I taught the dibbs game to people and many a dibbses followed, some pre-emptive, some definate jackpots, and some were thrown to the farm in South Dakota.
Sunday
We won, I didn't play very well, but I beat Gibbs, Mike, Tai, Ellsworth, and Derscheid again so I was happy. ;)
Apparently Dingwop was in the process of making a trophy for us but I'm guessing they got too Dinged up and forgot about it. If you want to mail me the trophy guys, email me for my mailing address.
Van Buren Boys Practice
I got kind of really sick on Friday during the day/evening so this weekend was kinda tough for me. I got home from the Harry Potter movie on Friday night and I was shaking uncontrollably and just felt like puking, not to mention I had a sore throat. I tried to go to bed but couldn't sleep, so I got up and talked to Joe for a bit then I threw up a little.... 4 hours of sleep later my alarm was blazing in my face, I didn't even wanna get up and go. But somehow I managed to do so and I slept the whole way to Iowa in the backseat of Louis' car.
When we got there everyone was already warming up and stuff, so we quickly threw our stuff on and got going. It was nice to actually meet the people who I have seen alot, or have played against before. Like Louis said in his post, everyone on the team just seems like great people who love ultimate and get along really well. We ran some drills and ran some sprints then we split into O and D lines and scrimmaged. I was on the D line with some other peeps and we ended up losing the game by a couple. I think we could have won the game, but I feel like we kept shooting ourselves in the foot. We would get turns but we just couldn't convert, often making high risk throws. I did not play well at all in this game. I think I had like 5 or 6 turnovers, I'll take credit for basically all of them because I feel like if I have the disc I should be able to find some way to make it possible for one of my teammates to catch the disc. And I didn't do a good job of that, I kinda felt like it was tough to get in a groove with the handlers though, it obviously doesn't help that I haven't played with these guys before though. But I forced some break throws that I normally don't ever do, overshot a huck, overall just a frustrating scrimmage for me. I think I got one poach D though.
The next day was kinda the same, I think I had 2 turnovers and no D's, but I could definately tell my body was worn out. Most likely from the long ass day before and from my Flu like sickness. Either way I can't make excuses. I look forward to playing with all the Boyeeeees this weekend at MUDI, and my family is all coming to watch on Saturday so you assholes better be on your best behavior.... yea I'm talking to you roudy Mike Lun.
See you all this weekend in thrilling Maple Plain!!!
