Spring break '08 part IV

Tuesday:
After having sobered up through out the night the team was finally ready to do what it had set out to do from the set of spring break, it was now time to put up or shut up. As the caravan of cars got rolling they rolled by the defeated St. Johns Rugby team who was forced to give up their territory in the camp site and begin their trek back to the woods of collegville.

After a quick McDonald's breakfast the team was energized and ready to go. arriving at the fields teams quickly realized that the d-town they had seen the day before that was drunk on the sidelines was not the one they were about to see today! Today would be a day of domination and fun.

Game 1: Duluth V. Spurberry PD
this was a pick up team that the TD played on, a group of talented ultimate players however, their lack of team unity is what we were able to capitalize on. NL gets jacked up pretty quickly comes out strong and hard from some domination, we quickly get up a few breaks and Spurberry takes an early time out. well like we had done the previous weekend we let this team climb back into the game, but we dug our heals in and would not be denied the victory this game goes to cap, D-town wins 11-8 I believe. good start, this would be our closest game of the day and it was never in question.

Game 2: Jacksonville St. V Northern Lights
This team gets to the field and realizes quickly what they are in for. as it was hear on their sidelines "oh great these guys are good" We get out to a fast start against these guys score is quickly 4-0 before they realize what happened, we cruise to half start cycling in our younger players as well as the dreaded Weapon X! Beckified is dreaming of getting Beckified later that night but keeps the sidelines going with one of DAG's cheers. this is one of the few games where we never gave up our breaks or let the team mount any sort of a comeback. this game ends13-4 or 13-5, all in all a good spirited game that was fun for both teams.

Game 3: this was by far the least fun game of the day, and almost the week, this team was the Flying Jesuits.
They looked decent warming up and being that we had never seen them before we thought this would be a very tough game this was a fair assessment of the first half of the first half. we had to work fairly hard for our points however after once again jumping out to a 4-0 lead and the sidelines getting hyphy and keeping the starters going they were forced to call a time out and make a decision. well there decision was to call the game a loss and they decided to play stupidly with the young guys getting play time before the first half the pressure was on us to perform and make sure that there no drop off from the starters. There was a small drop off to begin with as the young guys myself included were not quite prepared to take the field, I especially was not ready for their lack of spirit, I called a nit picky travel call as I was frustrated with what in my mind was their disrespect for the game! We ended up breaking them to take half. The starters rested for the rest of the game and with myself and the other major part of the sidelines playing our sidelines became quiet and complacent, it was frustrating to not hear my teammates cheer for me as I had done so many times before for them. needles to say we wrapped up this game with them throwing upwind hammers and not giving a shit.

On a Side note that I should have mentioned earlier, the Northern Lights unveiled their secret weapon at Music City, this Secret Weapon is WEAPON X. even though he has now been unleashed on the ultimate community good luck stopping him. anyways these Fucks got mad that their disk got tacoed now it may have been from blade pull of trosverges or their numerous hammers that just turned into blades, however, one idiot wanted to blame it on Weapon X's spike, now i was not about to let this idiot front on my teammate so I just told the dude chill the fuck out it's a disk but he was not about to hear it, luckily before things got out of hand MC love and Captain McKean graciously gave up a disk to these assholes who did not deserve it. This however, was a theme of the week no matter what happened no matter if it was right or wrong everyone on the team would have the others back, and it was fucking great to see

Goal of the day accomplished. WIN THE POOL. we finished off the day with a complete and utter domination of our opponents and we got ready to think about power pools. Jake was not pleased with how our sidelines ended up and told off the rest of the guys.

Tuesday Night: after getting some food in our system the team and especially Becky was preparing for another night of drunken fun and celebration as we had gone 3-0 and the Johnnies were gone. I myself had a few 40's and Becky went through the majority of handle of Captain, needless to say he was very hungover on Wednesday, but little did our opponents know that this was all part of his plan. The Lights went to bed much earlier than the ladies as we once again had games starting at 10, and we had another pool to win, our ladies did not start until 1:30. As we all went to bed none of us could help but think that we were going to absolutely dominate whoever we were going to see in the morning!!

Part 5 tomorrow
