Summer Lovin

College ultimate slows significantly in the summer as groups of men who refuse to grow up dominate the news. This hasn’t been a problem for the blog in the past since it didn’t exist last summer, but it also wouldn’t have been problem since the Illini fielded a club team.

This year, the team is too spread out to make a club team work during the summer months. Thanks for giving me nothing to report on guys. Now all I do is sit here with a broken leg, reminiscing the golden days of my writing. Since that only lasted two hours, I’ve decided to unveil a new summer series: “Question and Comment”.

As you probably have guessed, this series involves my questions and your comments. Some questions will be specific to Illini Ultimate, others will relate to the ultimate community at large. It’s kind of like polling you, only now you can add asides that prove your point or ridicule others.

“Which team was our toughest opponent this year?”

since no one commented i am just going to assume it was the b team. no need to feel ashamed, we just have a really strong program.

you know that the b team has a really strong program because they keep their blog updated, even in the summer...oh wait...

i liked playing florida. while i have very little respect for their style of play, i liked going against one of the best teams in the nation and knowing that we were capable of beating them. each time we faced them before nationals, we got closer and closer. it's no fun to roll a team. one of the best memories i'll have from this season is playing them at texas and being up on them in the first half. i wish we could've pulled through and won, but just the fact that we were ahead gave me the confidence that we could play with the best. i never lost that confidence, it changed my game completely.
