OK guys, tomorrow is the final tournament. For many of you dudes it is the highlight of your ultimate seasons. We need to play at our best.
First Round: Our first game is against 1BM. We’ve played them before and beat them handily but we should not look straight past them. Sure we could fool around, not caring what happened as long as we advanced, and win 11-9 at hardcap. Or we could beat down and give ourselves a nice break before the second game. We are going to be running O/D lines during this match and so this is a great chance for some of the less experienced guys to go and show what they are made of. Highschool kids- this is like a test of what CUJO might be for you next year. You think you can win the championship? Then show it! The next rounds will be tough and there won’t be a lot of playing time for everyone. It should be a matter of pride to never let our offensive line on to the field. Never let the O line have any of your playing time. Let’s take victory easily.
Quarterfinals: Second game will probably be against Konvict. I want to CRUSH this team. I can’t emphasize this enough. Sure all that matters is that we have fun and get through to the next round, but I am tired of being compared to these guys like we are their equals. We are better than them. It is that simple. The last two times we’ve played, the games have been way too close. They probably think that they have our number. They are seeded right next to us (once again unfairly so) and they are looking to sneak on by us. That will not happen. This should be our real test to prove how far we’ve come this year. We have a great record, but it all means nothing unless we prove it, unless we give evidence that we are above and beyond our past failures. Another bonus- if we win big we can rest before the Semifinals. We had a tough schedule before and now thanks to Karma we have a relatively easy first two rounds. Let’s take advantage of this on what is supposed to be a very hot day.
Semifinals: Probably against Mustache Moonshine. I know a lot of people will be thinking that this game will be a loss for us. But the result is DEFINATLEY not so set in stone. This is a team of older, lazy University of Illinois guys who will be fat and hungover from the night before. They will breeze through the first matches because they are playing weak teams, and the Moonshine guys will get tired running around but they’ll realize that if they play smart they will win and probably win big. We are going to be the roadblock that stops them short. They will meet a team that knows how to run zone defense and offense, that wants it more than them, that has experience, speed, and intensity. If we beat them, our momentum alone should push us through the final.
I will be disappointed if we don’t get a trophy and you should be too. We are a good team and we can prove it.

Sideline Support
Recently there has been a lot of talk about how to improve sideline support. I had some ideas on this point. Let it be known to those guys who don’t play college- communication is a critical aspect of the game and one that is a vast improvement from other levels. The sideline is making both a strategic and emotional impact on the game.
Emotionally they are getting people fired up simply by cheering and getting pumped about sweet plays that happen on the field. Too often have we done something awesome and it has gone by casually. We have never charged the field, we have never really screamed our support. If we have a layout or a sky or an upwind break then you should be going nuts on the sideline. It makes a serious impact on how well the players on the field do.
Strategically the sideline makes a huge difference on offense and defense, especially in zone. They can see the entire field while the players are often focused on their one specific job. By choosing a person on field and specifically helping them, you can increase their ability greatly. Tell them who is open, when to call switches, where their player is going, etc.
Finally here are some key terms which we have had trouble using in the past. You really need to understand these in order to be a full fledged part of the team.
Fire- switch from zone to man defense (usually the last man force called)
Set it/ We’re in it- we are still playing zone defense as called
Strike- Somebody is making a devastatingly open cut to the force side. Marker needs to shift from force mark to straight up mark for about two stall counts
No big/ No huck- somebody is streaking wide open deep, marker needs to switch from force mark to straight up mark for about to stall counts
No around- The thrower is looking to throw the disc around your mark (for example on a backhand force the guy is trying to step over and throw the forehand completely past your mark). The mark should shift his feet that way to adjust for a stall count or two
No inside- The thrower is looking to throw the disc low and inside of your force side hand. (For example on a backhand force the thrower is trying to sneak a low backhand to the breakside). The mark should shift his feet that way to adjust for a stall count or two
There are other calls, but if anyone thinks that I’ve missed some important ones, post a comment.

Victory: Recap of Win vs Untouchables
This was an awesome game to say the least.
Unfortunately because of the small number of guys we decided early on to not film. So, for those of you on our team who weren't there and are interested in the details I'd thought I'd write a recap.
Here we go:
So we arrive with nine players- Bates, Ostro, Luke, Brooks, Lonnie, Rumbly, DP, and the Fergus Bros- and the decision is made to play in the nice Downer's Grove North Football stadium. At first they only have 8 dudes so numbers are pretty even though I think they picked up like three more guys or something by the end.
We get a pretty good warm up in and start play pulling to them. The first three points were very shaky. We were playing as we have been the past few games- making dumb throws, and then getting beat to the force side or beat in a quick huck. They go up 0-3, mostly on quick movement and deep throws. It would have been oh so easy to crumble here and get destroyed.
But we didn't. We got all the rust off ourselves and started playing real offense. Our first point on the board came off a midlevel huck I believe and then we scored again. Score 2-3.
For the rest of the first half we fight with them and begin to realize our potential. Defense begins to look real good as we adjust by shading them deep and running hard with them, beginning to tire them out. From this point on we were able to force a turnover or two every time they got the disc. Yet early on we were still having trouble exploiting it. Offense looked better but still had a few problems. Score goes 2-4 then 3-5 then something like 4-5, 4-6. They score a point and then call a time out because they are getting tired. We are running them hard. We score right after that time out and eventually take the lead 7-6. They tie it up 7-7. And then we push and take half 8-7. At this point we really are beginning to get pumped.
We come out of halftime getting the disc and knowing what a huge point it is to hold. And we score. 9-7. Then we bring up the intensity again realizing how huge it would be to break them. And we score. 10-7. And it continued like that. We kept up the intensity, focusing on every point critically, making every play big. The offense really begins to gel and have very few turnovers. We even go through their zone defense a few times. Our Defense is still dominant. We go on a seven point run.
They took only one point that half and it wasn't until the score was 14-7 and I had disc slip off my fingers. We fight out a last point and have a huge win 15-8. Great game.
Reasons we won:
1. Intensity. Soooo much better than the previous games. We sprint down on every pull (and there were a lot of good ones) and play hard D, get a turn and get open down the field. We wanted it more and showed it.
2. Precision. Handling was great this game from a limited number of dudes and the offense was able to move the disc efficiently without many mistakes at all.
3. We played our game. DP brought it up early that we needed to play our game regardless of what happened. And we did. No matter our mistakes or what they did, we were able to stay calm and yet focused and intense.
If we play like that every game we can go undefeated for the rest of the season.
Highlights that will now exist in our memories only:
Bates- good cutting, was able to come in and shut his man down on defense.
Luke- Great cutting, finally saw use of his speed as he got down quick on pulls, played great D, and got open a lot on offense, running down and reading some important hucks.
Ostro- Great defense in the air, pivotal part of the offense, solid throws.
Brooks- two huge D's in the air, in the endzone, at the end of the game and a handblock on game point and then bookends for the final score. Also had some good handling especially during the zone points
Lonnie- Huge layout D during the second half to keep our momentum, extremely great cutting, especially near the endzone, shut down his man on defense every time, and some hot pulls
Rumbly- great bid and D that was just barely a strip, catch of a couple of hucks, timeout and then strike throw for big break on endzone, good d/cuts
DP- great D overall, and extremely great handling and throws all day long, really pushed the team, got open on the big strike from Rumbles
Casey- more great handling, including some sick hucks for points (finally found his forehand jk), good pulls
TFerg- Shut down his handler, even got a big poach D near the endzone, more sick throws including some important breaks in tough situations, good pulls
Comment if I forgot any good plays or such.
Let's focus and do this for the rest of the season

Stalling/ One Month
STALLING
OK boys, it is time to be brutally honest with ourselves. We have kind of been stalling out the last couple of weeks; the team which grew so drastically in the beginning of the season seems to have hit a brick wall. The last few games we have played were not pretty. Old problems continue to persist.
The last three games really haven’t been quality. We just haven’t risen to our highest level or (as we all hoped) grown at all. Now these games were victories, and yes, in the end the win is all that matters (that and having fun of course), but we have a string of tough games ahead of us, and if we played like we did in the past three weeks (shooting ourselves in the foot) we will be crushed… and it will not be fun. The game against Go Pre was lackadaisical, and it began the rocky streak. I think most of all that has bugged me. We should not be a lazy team. We pride ourselves on being fast, on being fit, and on wanting it more than anyone. So why are we jogging around the field casually? Why are we letting them throw five easy upfield passes off the pull? So many of our problems- getting beat to the force side, not attacking the disc by running through, throwing it away or dropping - can be contributed to a lack of focus and effort! I have seen it in myself and I personally refuse to let it happen again. We can have fun and try hard, the two things aren’t mutually exclusive.
The game against Tator Touts was especially evident of the lack of intensity. We came out slow, they made it close by making great plays and pushing hard, and we suddenly realized “oh we have to run now”. We actually started playing our game second half and did really well.
Screw that. We should come out wanting to show our best from the first play.
The game against Final Boss proves how all of these close games weren’t merely the result of our problems. Captain Casey and I basically called this near upset because we knew this team was itching for a surprise victory. We let them get into our heads after they were being douches and we started freaking out and making really dumb mistakes (just like last year). We should be proud that we got it together, but our goal should be to not let it happen again.
ONE MONTH
OK enough of my stating the obvious problems. Now we go about fixing them. We have one month until the final tournament of the season. That gives us a whole month to improve on everything we need to, to up our game so that we are playing at a top notch level, so that we can accomplish our goal of doing well at the end of the season tournament. To do that we need to really push ourselves these next few games, showing the Untouchables and Moustache Moonshine that we aren’t some weak high school team that will crumble under pressure or will kill itself with mistakes. Let’s be the ones who do the upsetting this time.
And we need to come to practice! I can’t emphasize this enough. Casey, DP, and I have come up with a lot of ideas to improve our game (fixing our mistakes) but they involve drills and team practice. Show up and play as hard as you would in a game. I’m tired of scrimmaging with five people.
Alright let’s go.

No Contest
The first thing that came to my mind after we played No Contest on Saturday was that the match felt like a real ultimate game to me. There was good handlers and athletes, advanced strategies on both sides, and a great deal of intensity. It was a good game, one in which our team probably improved to play some its best ultimate ever... but it was still a tough loss. Afterwords it seemed like everybody had a good time mingling at the BBQ and getting to know each other. Hopefully this develops into a strong rivalry, although we need to work on winning against our rivals, but still we pick our rivals well- tough teams with cool dudes on them. As Captain KC said, No Contest will probably be one of the better teams of the entire league, but that doesn't mean we can't compete, or even win, against them. Here are my thoughts.
Things We Did Well:
1. Transition Defense and Huck Defense- compared to the last few games we played this looked phenomenally better, and as experience grows, so will these areas.
2. Offensive Flow- There were some real moments when we just cruised down the field without any problems.
Things We Didn't Do So Well:
1. Execution- We had several bad throws and a few drops. Obviously this stuff is going to happen occasionally, but the key is to cut down on it as much as possible. This was the main trouble for us last year. During the No Contest game, we would flow really well and then we'd make one mistake and they would punish us for it. We would also have the occasional stall on our offense (whether because of bad handler motion or lack of cutting). We really just need to practice and drill this stuff so that it becomes natural and easy.
2. Endzone Offense- not the number one priority on the list, but important. We just can't seem to get everything together to score. Isolation plays have never really come together as much as we've liked, and everything just seems to fall apart.
3. Foul Calling- Read the rules, it is really simple. You won't be a tool if you call a foul when a dude hacks you or tackles you.
Neither Good Nor Bad:
Man Defense and Intensity: The other team was tired by the end of that game- which is great- but so were we, and I'd say we got burned on the whole a bit more often than them. We need to have the legs to ensure we don't get beat, especially to the force side! Playing more intense ultimate should help.
OK that's it. Hopefully we can work on this stuff in practice, and hopefully next time we meet No Contest we can show them what we've learned.

Good Stuff
OK guys... so far so good.
I wanted a recap of what's been happening so I decided to finally write something. Hopefully our captain KC will start writing some stuff up so I'm not the only one posting blogs.
We are 3-0 and in first place in the Naperville League, and I feel good about our team. We looked really solid these last two games, shutting down teams that were weak, showing them that we are indeed a lot better this summer. There has been a huge amount of individual improvement across the board and we have to be pretty proud of ourselves.
But there is still a lot of work to do.
Our next game is critical. We are playing No Contest at home on Saturday. This team showed some of us in the pre season scrimmage that, despite being new to the league, they could play very solidly. If we can win this next game we can defiantly move forward toward a good seeding in the final tournament, something that is critical (we don't want a repeat of last year).
So far, I think our greatest strength has been that we have continued to improve over every practice and every game. We need to keep doing that now. Practices have still been a little non-chalant thus far and that needs to change. Our improvement is directly related to our experience and so we should play every chance we get. (Remember practices are ALWAYS on Monday at 5PM, Friday at 4PM, with Wednesday league at 6:45).
If we keep getting better as a team, we should be a serious force to be reckoned with by the season's end.
Let's work hard.
P.S. I REALLY want to beat No Contest. I have to room with their captain next year and I could use some fuel for trash talk

There is a reason why we have pre season scrimmages...
Since our captain is gone over the weekend I figured I'd post something
OK so for those of you that did not hear, the scrimmage on Thursday night against No Contest did not go well. We had 7 NBA players (plus John Davis), and we lost our first game 15-3, then second game 7-3, then third game 4-2. It was not good.
A lot of things contributed to these results. First off, we didn't have that many people which always sucks. Also I don't think any of us particularly played the greatest individually and as a team we had very little flow. No Contest is a good team, as I have been saying, and they will be a challenger all year long, but we lost that game because of our own mistakes.
But hey, now it's time to fix those problems. It began that night as we improved drastically as the games went on and it should continue through practices. And really I think the greatest thing that everyone can do is simply reaffirm your dedication. Keep the discipline up to show up to all the regular practices (Mondays at 5PM and Fridays at 4PM). Have the determination to avidly learn all you can about the game, making sure you know all aspects of important team strategy. Focus during our times together as a team so we can put the time in to get the experience and flow down. And work hard every day, pushing yourself with intensity and fire so that we will always play competitively and athletically.
We have a lot of work to do, but if truly commit ourselves to this dedication we can have fun, improve, and do well this summer.
