Gearin' Up

I don’t how many of you plan your lives, but I’ve recently started doing just that. Let’s see…graduate in May, get married in November, buy a house, have kids…Oh yeah! Vegas in two weeks!


It’s been a long time since I’ve stepped onto an ultimate field, and I’m definitely looking forward to crushing Stanford like we did at Centex (Hey Dave, peaches aren’t in season. We will own you. Oh, and my parents say hi). But I’ll be saving my preview for next week.


Boys, it’s time to get excited again. Winter is almost over, and a long hibernation should make you hungry for one thing: competition. We aren’t 100% yet, and it’s evident in our practices. Yes, we’re a solid team, but there’s no fire. No excitement. What are you playing for? Are you a tired old vet just looking to finish what he started? I hope not.


We each need to find that motivation, that spark, that fire. Joel supplied it for the past three years with his command on the field. Pat brought it with his refusal to give up no matter how many points we were down. Pappy brought it with his screaming. They had help too. The rest of the team bought into it. When they sparked, the whole team caught fire, and we left our opponents roasting in that inferno. And it was FUN. Having the energy is fun. Executing our game plan is fun. And rolling over chumps is fun.


We’ve got less than two weeks to bring it back. Let’s make Vegas fun.


Ps bet on black and the number 6.
