POTUS drops in near the Ultimate Field

Good game of 6 on 6 yesterday. Overcast and very windy. The latter made for some interesting throws & pulls. We also had to back up our game 15 minutes because word has it that POTUS was making a little speech at NDU yesterday and the back gate was closed until 1130. Not sure where W gets off upsetting the Buzzards routine. Would have been cool to see if he could have stuck around and played. Of course, if the VEEP was with him, I'm not sure I want to be a Buzzard in his "Field of View"...actually, we were probably safe as we'd have been the prey and not his hunting buddies.

Not too sure how equitable the light/dark shirt split was yesterday. Our lights team seemed to be challenged in the running department and for whatever reason, has some aversion to man-to-man defense

Next BPUC point of emphasis should be our “rolling start times”. If the game is called for 1130, it would be great if we could be on the field at least warming up by then. We started 15 minutes after the called game time yesterday and that either keeps us out there longer and or puts people in the position of feeling like they need to leave a game early to keep from taking a 2 hour lunch.

A couple years ago, the games only went 45 minutes because I think we got some “feedback” from some office supervisors on the Ultimate players’ office hours. My proposal is that if we’re out there and ready to start at 1130, then we’ll play an hour but we’re cutting it off at 1230 or (an hour after called game time) regardless.

On a lighter note…anybody notice the increase of hammer throw attempts and successes? Nice job practicing and perfecting your art there Buzzards.

Leave it to a football player to start calling out the Ultimate players when a little rain starts falling. Listen “real” Ultimate players play in anything…..
