East Ultimate

Hey everyone. This will likely end up being kind of a long blog post, but I think most of what I'm going to say here is pretty important, unlike what I say most of the rest of the time.

First, I'd just like to congratulate everyone in the organization on their performance this weekend, especially the girls. Guys won nine-als, girls made finals. I think we all can see who the real winners among us are. Sorry if the male contingent was less than awesome as a sideline, but many among us were absolutely gone. I'd say that we'll be better at Madison, but if I have my way, we'll be playing in finals on the fields right next to you there. And oh yes, it is possible. More on that later.

Guess what everyone?

EAST INVITE IN ONE WEEK.

Sounds good, huh? However, that does carry with it a few things. First and foremost, it means that you all really, really should be at practice this week. If you've typically got other things going on on practice days, if you could get out of that for just a week, it would be most ideal, because this is the point at which we really need to take it to another level. Y'all should do your best to make it a good preparation week (eat well, sleep plenty, etc). And, for the Open team at least, that preparation also manifests itself in that we're playing what may well be our toughest early season game this Thursday, the Colorado Academy A team. Mixed is playing Broomfield, which also promises to be a challenge. Just because we've got a tournament coming up doesn't mean we shouldn't bring the fire in those games, and I'm totally confident that we'll come out prepared and ready to roll some unsuspecting adversaries.

So get ready, cause this is going to an intense, sweet few days. Rock on East.

Hey y'all. As you can probably see, Ben now has a blog and admin power on eastultimate.org. Let the reign of terror begin.

Seriously though, I do have some points that I would like to make with this thing, in general and this evening specifically.

First, I've got to address the Open team after the results of today's game. How good does that feel, boys? I know I may speak for myself, and only myself, but after the game against Creek, and my performance in particular, I needed that game badly. That's not to say, of course, that it was perfect. Our offense in the first half was really, really sloppy, so, naturally, it was a turnfest. I'm going to tell you right now, if we want to have a prayer against CA-A in, oh, two weeks, we're going to need to be a lot tighter than that on offense. Our defense too, could use a little bit of work, Monarch scored a couple points that we should not have allowed them to, but we're not lacking in intensity or expertise, our D just needs to click into place a little bit more. Overall though, excellent game from all of you, lots of sick bids, nice throws, and just all around balling.
