MUDI

Well this tournament was long over due for Dingwop. We had been planning and trying get really hyped up for this tournament. Myself and Stark left Duluth Friday around 9:30PM so we got to his sisters place around 12:00 AM, not the best feeling in the world knowing you have to be up early and not have a lot of sleep.


Saturday morning was decent Stark, and myself are able to get up and get to the fields on time, Dingwop has a very long warm up and the team we are supposed to be playing doesn't show up until 2 minutes before game time. Which is all right we think we should just be able to roll these guys and cruise to our next game....boy were we wrong.


Rigor Mortis V. Duluth:

Well Like I said they showed up 2 minutes before game time with no real warm up or anything like that. early on the game is close but thanks to drops on our part, as well as our lack of focus they are able to stomp us 7-15, just not a pretty or clean game. It was clear that this team had some tallent, but they were not that amazing and we should have beaten them. well since we had gotten beaten pretty quickly we had 45 minutes till the next round started, this game was against TBA, long time friendly rivals of the dingers.

TBA V. Duluth:

This game was a lot cleaner than our last thank god. we jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, and TBA is able to get those back and tie it up. it is back and forth all game long, I cut this entire game, and cut really well, none of their guys that matched up with me as able to keep up with me on an in cut which was a nice feeling. this game goes to universe if I remember correctly, at the very least it was double game point Dingwop16- TBA 14? something like that. because the rounds were so long we had a half an hour before we had to play the crafty canadians from Winnepeg.

Always a tough game they all looked athletic, with no one really standing out, they move the disc efficently and capitalize well on turnovers.

General Strike V. Dingwop

Well now that we had finally gotten car legs out, had stopped mind-fucking each other and gotten focused we finally played well. Our defense this entire game was solid we were in their hip pocket from start to finish, our sidelines were the best they were going to be all tournament long. even though we lost this game this was probably the best game we played all tournament. everyone was fuckesed and that led to a fairly close game, Dingwop loses 11-15.

Now the real fun starts, time for the party at the fields... well D love informs the team that he has a bottle of tequila, I start in on a nice cold PBR, and there are free kegs tapped and waiting. Well as soon as I get my first beer I am informed that there is a showcase game athat I was recruited to be in it...now this confused me because I am by no means a great player but hey, I accepted the invite, and learned that it would the minorities vs. the gingers. Becky tries to play with the minority team as he claims that he is the only person from the beckified nation...he quickly gets shot down.... Well it was a very interesting time a lot of fun and a beer point later the game ending, I finally got a chance to meet some of the hodags that w playing on Sub Zero, and I have to say that Will Locke, and Brandon Malechek are really nice guys off of the field. well as ridiculous as the show case game was I still needed to get drunk SO as I am coming off of the field I run into D love who informs me that I have to do a shot of Tequila as I am a dingwop rookie and I needed to be broken in, well after the shot I had to get the taste of tequila out, I do this by drinking another bee, and another beer, and a whole lot to follow that another shot of tequila sounds like a great idea. the second shot went down really well, a few more beers later and stark was ready to go get some food. We stop at a Mcdonalds and everything on the menu looks pretty good. Went back to his sisters place still very drunk, hopefully I didn't embaress him too much, we passed out and got ready for sunday.

Sunday

On our way to the fields Stark and I decided to stop at a super target to get some food. As we are checking out the girl in the check out line was semi-flirting with me, suprisingly enough she knew what ultimate frisbee was and that seemed to spark her intrest but Stark and I had to dip out so we could start to warm up for our first game

well Dingwop apparently won the party which meant that people were not on time sunday morning. Dingwop had Surly Cynics first which is a team made up of a group of guys that are too old to play for Surly, as a result we took them lightly and and found ourselves down 5-7 at half...then one of the most interesting things happened...one of he million dollar houses caught on fire..and not just a little bit this mother fucker burned and burned and burned....the fire department was able to put water on it for about 10min after they had arrived because there was no fire hydrant near by which meant that they had to truck in water, the house was a complete loss, myself and a bunch of other frisbee players knocked on doors and windows to make sure that no one was inside the house which luckily no one was. but play was suspended until the fire department told us that it was ok to play again. The Sulry cynics game resumed and because of that break and some misinformation some of their team had left and we were able to come back and win on universe point.



after this we have bye and watched the madison, Double negative ( Sub Zero's D line) game. that was pretty intense as was the Blerge XMN game, both games went to universe point with Double Negative winning their game, and XMN winning theirs, Dingwop went on to play XMN for 9th place.



XMN V. Dingwop

A good game all around we trade points early and it is very apparent that we are going to have some battles this season. This ends up being a more exciting game than the finals so we get a little bit of a crowd which was nice it helped both teams play a little bit better I think. Eventually the game gets close to cap and we are still trading points until I belive 11's or 10's at which Point XMN is able to break us twice and is able to cruise to the victory. on a whole a good showing for the dingwop crew we bonded were able to come together and I think get a much better sense of what everyones role is going to be....this is something that was somewhat unclear coming into this weekend. the party was bomb and it was a relaxing weekend

Weekend

This weekend was interesting to say the least. a lot of stuff happened mostly good, only a small part was stupid, but sometimes shit happens when you get drunk sometimes. SO Thursday I headed down to the Cities, a good friend of mine was turning 21 and he had rented a party bus. It was a great time, there was a keg on the bus which helped me save some money, before we even got to the first bar I had already drank 3 beers, that kinda set the tone for the night, I would not be getting retarted drunk, though if I would have gotten 4 or 5 more captain and cokes that is what would have happened. A lot of people were drunk, some people may have done some stupid things, myself included..Iight have kissed a girl with a boyfriend I don't know if she really remembers or cares, but eh it happens that I can brush off. there may have been some drama, she may have cried her heart out to her b/f but things were resolved quickly. I may have still been drunk while a girl was pouring her heart out to me, but because I found her attractive and, I may have attempted to exploit the situation but she was too smart for me, and I was too tired to keep trying to get her to make out with me, but on a whole it was a good time, everyone was safe, and no one got physically hurt. Friday I was hungover most of the day so I slept, it was wonderful, I didn't have a whole lot of energy so i decided to stay in. Saturday was a lot of fun, I came back up to Duluth with my brother, it had been awhile since the 2 of us had hung out so it was good to see him, I gave him a tour of the campus wich took 5 min, cause it really is not that big, and then we started to make plans for the night. We ended up picking up one of his high school friends who also goes to school up here and some girls and drove to a party whee my brother got cake smashed in his face. He got his revenge when the host of the party smeared a 5th of the cake in her face. I stayed sober that night cause my liver deserves a break, I need it this year so I can get retarted drunk again, black out near a keg, or do something else stupid. We left that party and walked 6 blocks to another one where we spent the remainder of the night, it was a sausge fest. 1 dude acted like he was tryig to start a fight talking shit about my hair and saying that I couldn't "rock a fro" and that his was better, a white kid with red scraggly hair all or the place, well had I been drunk, I might of fought this kid, cause it seems like white people get drunk, and try to figure out ways to piss me off sometimes... w/e luckily he just walked away before things actually got heated. I ended driving my brothers friend and 1 of the girls back to her appartment and I went to bed cause I had practice at 8 and it was already 230, after I came back from practice I took my brother out to eat, we then went to the beach bug this huge ass hole. then it was time for him to leave, sounds kinda stupid but I think this weekend really helped him. which is good he needed it. I then slept for about 12 hours sunday night...next weekend 2 words, SURLY, FRISBEE. I can't wait.

Summer so far

I have been working at UMD so far this summer and that has been a good job so far just a lot of wax floors nothing too over the top. but latley especially the past 2 days there has been this person who has been....iritating me, this person does not pick up on signs very well that I no longer enjoy their presencor really wish to see them again. This person from the day I have met them has been like a leech and has latched on and seems to refuse to let go. I often times have not done a good job of communicating to them that they are no longer welcome in my life because I have not been thinking and acting the way I needed to. This person is not a good influence in my life and I need to cut them out so as to perserve my own mental stability, as this person is crazy. I hope that now I am able to move on and not allow my mistakes of the past to repeat in the present. This is going to sound harsh, but I don't care if this person reads this or what she thinks about me afterwards, YOU HAVE ALWAYS been a pysco bitch, STAY THE FUCK out of my life!! get the message now!?!?!. On a much brighter note, I have my first club tournament in a couple of weeks and I could not be more happy I have a feeling I am going to learn a lot from competing at a higher level and I know that whatever happens with this dingwop team will make me a better player for the college team.

4th of July

the 4th was great, nothing too crazy or over the top just drinkg some PBR's with family and blowing shit up. had some dank food, it was relaxig and a good break from work, how american is that?? I also got a car this past weekend, only shitty thing is that gas is soo expensive that I don't want to drive anywhere. Well as I mentioned before I am getting pretty jacked up for MUDI I think that it will be a good expericece for a lot of us college guys that have not play club before, really good competion, but at a level and on a team where we should be able to compete with a lot of teams we will see how it goes, I am confident that we will have a good showing
