CCC Write-Up (Alum version)
Here is what I have to report from my trip to CCC last week.
I arrived on Friday night. I was picked up by Barnes, Vitaly, JZ, and Ricky at the airport, and met up with an already-drunk Slovan and JB at the hotel. We headed over to a bar and proceeded to drink more. Oh, and JB explained to us the intracacies of http://www.project-entropia.com/Index.ajp. That is all for Friday.
Saturday, Slovan, JB, and I headed over to the fields during the middle of the William and Mary game. That was a great opening game %u2014 our defense was a getting a bunch of breaks. MagnUM let W & M back in the game at the end, but that didn't affect the outcome (MagnUM wins 10-8).
The next game was a tough one for Michigan. MagnUM had beaten Indiana at a previous tournament. But our guys could not handle Hoosiermama in Atlana. Indiana took an early lead and from then on just rolled. Indiana wins 11-2.
We then stuck around for the first half of the Kansas game. During the part that I saw, it looked as though MagnUM did a great job regrouping after the tough loss in the previous round to Indiana. MagnUM wins 9-7.
For the next three hours, Slovan, JB, and I watched Michigan and it's defense collapse in the fourth quarter (I'm talking football here). Damn. But apparently, during this same time, MagnUM beat George Washington 11-4. Sweet. Anybody care to fill in.
We returned for the better part of MagnUM's last game of day %u2014 a game against Georgia. It was a hard-fought game on both sides. Both offenses looked very strong during the second half. In the end, MagnUM had difficulty neutralizing both the throwing and catching of Georgia's Dylan. Georgia wins 11-9. I think Batey had a sweet layout in the endzone during this game.
Saturday night, we all got pretty wasted. I was told that some rookies were pimping. MagnUM lost in the first round of the boat-race tournament to Florida, who looked like a professional boat-racing team. Did they win it all in the end? And Ricky kept on saying Fuma.
Sunday morning, we got to the fields toward the end of the Ohio State game. I think the score was tied at 8's or 9's. Anyway, MagnUM got some bad breaks and there was a sheisty foul called on Batey. Long story short, MagnUM loses 10-9.
From there, MagnUM never really recovered from the difficult Ohio State loss. Davidson brought a decent zone which MagnUM just couldn't break. MagnUM's defense played okay, but the offense just couldn't put the biscuit in the basket.
Whatever though. There's a long frisbee season ahead of us, and MagnUM has the rookies, the role players, and the veteran leadership to pull it together. If anything, CCC served as a good wake-up call because a successful fall season only instills false confidence in a team. Anyway, I had a great weekend seeing all you guys, and I will try to meet up with you all again during the spring. Good luck MagnUM and keep blogging!
Oh yeah, and if it isn't evident to you, I wasn't really paying attention to anything all weekend. So anyone and everyone should blog about anything and everything of note.
