Boomland MLC Recap

On a cool November morning, the men of boomland optimistically embarked upon a journey that would change them forever. With hope in their hearts, seven men approached the line…this is their story!

Game 1: In Boomland’s first effort against Truman State, we learned many lessons. Unfortunately, many of those lessons pertained to what not to do. While attempting to ball some bitches, Brett made an unfortunately early exit. At the conclusion of the game, after shaking hands, Boomland left the field with a losing score of 11-1, dejected but not beaten.

Game 2: In a completely strategical move, vets Mclain and Jon O. graciously lost the game to Wash U in an attempt to bide their efforts with game 3 in sight against a potent Wisconsin Eau-Claire. Final score: Wash U. 11 Boomland 1.

Game 3: The daring strategy pays off as Boomland scores 2 total points in the game, theoretically doubling skill and poise on the field of ultimate. Final score: Wisconsin Eau-Claire 11 Boomland 2

Game 4: After an inspiring, Aladdin allusion-filled speech from Mclain, Boomland keeps up with the pimpdags for the first half. Rookies were inspired from the sideline as Halvsies, Talon, Rado, and Austin provided a much-needed morale boost and pointers for how to break the cup. Autographs were given after the game. Fundamentals from practice were evident in a decrease in Boomland drops and mistakes. Highlight of the game:

McLovin to Mclain: “Run”

The Prez proceeds to complete a 60 yard huck past the cup to Mclain leading to a momentum-changing score.

Final Score: Pimpdags 11, Boomland 6 (a score closer than what it seems on paper)

Game 5: Despite a poor warm-up performance, Mark steps up and becomes a phenomenal handler. Tom also shows previously unknown Handling skills, and dashing good looks (also previously unknown). Although, SIU decided to recruit some better players from other teams after they started losing, and eventually won the game. This was a moral victory for Boomland. Boomland took half for the first time in the tournament prior to getting frustrated by an SIU cup in the second half. Numerous things were accomplished by many players during this game. Conner proved that he could pull, Tom learned a lot about handling, Kurt finished an amazing greatest started by a Prez layout, C-Lo, previously Chris L., completely dominated a point, catching pretty much every throw, we found out Anthony has a personality, and Peyton completely destroyed the cup, Beauty and the Beast style. In the end, the game was lost, but like a Phoenix, Boomland once again rose from its ashes.

Pimpdags again: serious game turns into most entertaining game ever. i.e. upside down points, gratuitous points, and tall vs. short line. Although Boomland may not have won any games, at least we could take peace in the fact that guy love blossomed.
