Belgian beer, discs, and sun: wait, where's the sun?
This weekend saw an ultimate tournament at the Ommegang brewery in Cooperstown, NY. This was one of the best tourneys I've played in. We didn't win our wieght in beer, but someone did. And now, people know who we are (as a team. People already knew us as individuals).
We played as Lonely Joker, named after Cap'n Dale's creepy obsession with a playing card he found on the sidewalk. We played pretty damned competitively, winning our pool on Saturday, and losing to the Fucking New Guys in our first game on Sunday (in an odd twist of fate, I was recently invited to play for FNG, but turned them down because they're based in Boston, which is not as close as Northampton, considering I live in Northampton). We won our last game on Sunday though, giving us a 3-2 record for the weekend, and a 15 point spread (that means we kicked ass when we won, and lost by only 1 or 2 points when we lost).
We had three really hard fought games, and I've got the cuts to prove it (what do scars look like over ink?).
I should mention that we play coed, and our women were haught. Knuckles, my ex-girlfriend, was particularly hardcore- can I brag for a second? She said I'm the reason she kept playing ultimate. Now she's trying out for Lady Godiva (one of the best women's teams in the country)- she doesn't seem to think she'll make the team, but she gets huge points just for trying out. Nothing's sexier than a hot girl leaving her feet for a disc. What can I say? grassburn turns me on.
OK, that's enough of that. Till next time.
