Much more competitive than I was expecting and it was a good workout. The other team beat us pretty good. They had a guy throwing the frisbee around like he was Peyton Manning and carved up our D for the most part. Anyone else play?

I can't really throw a disc well but I loved trying to chase down a long bomb. The guy running it is a douche though so I stopped attending. Edited 1 time by Skalmo June 27, 2012 2:12 PM.

I played competitively all through college and spent a lot of time driving long trips and sleeping on floors doing so. Made college nationals all 5 years of my eligibility and then played a few years of club competitively. Then the time commitment got to be too much to do that and be successful with my career path. Just played summer city leagues (or winter, spring, summer and fall leagues in the case of Seattle) after that with the occasional summer tournaments. Looking back, I've been playing some form for about 15 years now. ricecloud9

Now it looks like a dislocated ankle and/or a fistfight with some hyper competitive prick just waiting to happen.

Pools, if you're playing on a MUFA summer league team, you are partial to one of the greatest deals in rec sports. $31 gets you ~12 weeks of games, a dry fit jersey, disc, and each team gets two pitchers of beer at the Great Dane after every game.

I am in a MUFA league actually. It is quite a deal and we took advantage of the two pitchers last night at the Great Dane. We're looking for additional players if you have any interest in playing, could use someone really good on the team

Posts: 6985 June 28, 2012 9:06 AM Sully "Football Saturdays in Madison are holy days."	Madison hosted some sort of big Ultimate tournament in the summer of 1992 or 1993. Many of the players stayed in the Lakeshore dorms. I worked on the maintenance crew for the dorms and we had to clean out the rooms at the end of the tournament. Based on the condition of the rooms and what was left behind, Ultimate has a very large dirty hippy contingent.

Good workout, lots of running, and a lot more skill and tactics involved than many who are unfamiliar would give the sport credit for.

I really hate the "self officiated" aspect of it as some people seem to take advantage of that. Still..its a very fun game. I still prefer disc golf to it though.

Australian Cattle Dogs have a big barrel chested rib cage. Plus it looks as though he was inhaling at the time of the shot. Here's another shot that kinda shows his proportions more accurately. This is more dog specific than ultimate related. How old is your dog? One of my farmer-uncles owned an Australian cattle dog who was really nice but a crazy-assed workaholic. My uncle couldn't say "cows" without making the dog go crazy. If he made the mistake of saying "get" and "cows" in the same sentence, the dog would tear off to get the herd for milking. Is your dog similarly focused?

On the other hand, my daughter, has recently discovered Ultimate Frisbee at school and plays it whenever she can. She's a pretty good soccer player, but I don't recall her ever being that enthusiastic about soccer. (Maybe adults haven't screwed thing up yet with Ultimate Frisbee.) With Frisbee it's different. She's always asking me to throw the damn thing around. However, she regularly mentions that her small stature hinders her game relative to taller competitors. Is there still hope for a fast but short Ultimate Frisbee fan? Just wondering.
