3.7.08

Today, I actually did not enjoy playing Ultimate.

Band field is crap, and it was rainy as hell. I forgot my underarmour, so I was really cold and my fingers got frozen. I had some pretty good handler motion, but I regret saying that I really couldn't throw anything else than a backhand because of how cold I was.

We scrimmed today, and Varsity showed the team how things worked. We held the JV back on their cup, but they got lucky and gained about 20 yards. Then we shut them down with a quick break to the endzone.

Not to be cocky or anything, but I feel as though the rest of Varsity has caught up to me. During the beginning of the season, I could have felt a large gap in skill between me and a good amount of the players, but now I can tell they're pretty much my level, which is a really good thing. A team where everyone's around the same level is perfect.

Guarding Art Yeh really forces me to play my hardest. I literally have to sprint every time I make a dump or upline cut. Unfortunately, I picked Art a whole bunch of times so I had to bring it back a couple of times.

I definitely need to get the mentality of laying out back. I neglected bidding a couple of times today because I thought I wouldn't be able to get it.

I had a nice backhand huck to Scott, but forgetting that the band field is merely 40-50 yards, it went right out the back.

God, I feel like Glenn, haha.

Since I know you obsess over ultimate vids and haven't gotten and ultitv subscription yet - both Wisconsin and Colorado have multiple game videos from Vegas on their websites.

Art is sick, and very quick. Glad to hear he's helping you guys out. What do you mean, you feel like me?
