And So It Begins...


On the eve of our first official practice, I sit here unable to sleep in anticipation for tomorrow. To continue K-Love's metaphor - tomorrow we open up the pack of Gushers. Who is going to be the 7th Gusher packet? What flavors will it possess, and possibly more importantly...will they blend well with the other Gushers to form an immaculate collection? Heck, I'm even eating Gushers right now. So many questions to answer.

Tonight I spent a few hours with fellow veteran Goby Jason Williams watching Ultimate videos and talking strategy. I even showed future Goby Trent Hovis a few of last year's highlight reels in an attempt to get him pumped for what will most certainly be an amazing season.

This past weekend we had our annual SatCo - a sort of Ultimate Clinic run by the team for prospective players, and it yielded another solid crop. I can only hope that as many people show up to practice from that as possible. The future is bright here, and, quite frankly, seeing as Future has come and gone (but still with us in spirit - and the fall semester), we need a new one.
