Views from indoor

I really gotta hit that blog faster then 2AM. Doober already says everything that needs to be said regarding our game today. RECAP THOUGH!!!
*Warning* Long post, separated by team, different sections are bolded

Huckindor -
Stigglez - Getting up, skying mad fools.

Ben - needs a bit more control on the hucks but is looking great in the air. Much more aggression in the air from his normal passive self.

Brad - push passes? Really? We need to teach this boy how to dump it. Really bad. He's almost worse then me freshman year... (ouch)

Hufflepuff -
Tom - Running shit in the air, getting up and over anyone that gets in his way, and is going to on all passes. With those lanky arms he's gonna be a beast. He's definitely stepping up in his role of head of house.

Andy - I don't think I've seen that boy drop a pass that hit anywhere near him A-MA-ZING

Youseff - He's gonna be good, I know it's been said multiple times but he'll do good for us, just a bit more rounding of the edges is needed

Satanclaw -
A-Pinn - so many hyphens, It was pretty apparent to see today that Satanclaw did worse without A-Pinn filling out their lines. Going from their normal 1st place sitting to 3rd place just behind Creeperin today who walked away with 1 win.

Mitch - His breaks are looking better and better each day. He gets so far out that it doesn't even seem like that there is a mark around him.

Matt C - Damn he's old. Still getting open on his unders aiding Satanclaw in what they do best, and offering another handler for them.

E-Herbst - Catching the disc and running super hard. His cuts are often the same for each time the disc is put into the same position. Variety with his running ability and how hard he works will pay off big time.

Creeperin -
Doober - Bidding like a fool, I love to see the extra effort put in, and not wasted effort on discs that are way out of reach.

Me - Backhand to sprints are off. Targeting needs to get better. I'm pleasantly pleased with my flicks right now, but I gotsta use the backhands more often and not just rely on breaking the mark. Got footblocked today. Fuck...

Dropsies were at an all time high today on Creeperin. We gotta figure out how to score :(

Newbies -
Christian - Didn't see much of his playing today, but I know that his flow didn't fit all too well with Satanclaw, we'll see where he gets placed.

Kevin (K-Dawg) - He's throwing out the bids, good to see from a new player. Backhands are alright at threading the needle, but I don't think he has a flick currently.


The team is looking better each day that I see us play. Each practice new players are stepping up and taking the lead. I'm pretty sure three different teams have placed first during indoor practices. Creeperin will get ours soon.

In general for the team to work on:
Focus on O - losing focus will just lead to dropped passes and miscommunication

Focus on D - People are looking at the disc instead of watching their man. People are getting juked out and scores are bound to occur off of that.

Go to/dumping on "early" stall counts - Basic things that we go over each semester in bulk. Stall 5 games are a lot different with stalling then stall 10. obvs. Just stupid things that cause more turns.

Chalk talks will come when we get outdoors. I'm excited for them, anyone else?

Pushing on

"Each of us is currently as good at Magic (or anything else in the world) as we are. We
are not better than we already are.
As obvious as this might sound, people spend so much time and emotional effort trying to
prove to themselves that they are already 'good enough.' "

Patrick Chapin "Next level Magic"

Gotta strive to get better. Takes work, and doesn't come easy. Let's go Gunx.
We need to push each other to get better, without you I'm not able to be anywhere I want to be.
Still trying to find my fire. Where the fuck did it go?

Can't stop. Won't Stop.

Day 1

Late last night a member of the CHUMS, Trenton, was caught up in a military chemical experiment and was eventually turned into a Zombie. Such a shame what they do to that boy, but now he feeds, and has already fed on, most importantly, my boy Ben. We'll see how long the rest of Capen Hall lasts, I can only imagine that they will fall soon. This is such a crap, Bouton and Capen had each others backs last semester when the Zombie Virus attacked campus, but we shall persevere no matter what happens.
Gotta stay safe, already had to kill a couple zombies today, including Ben.
Practice was out on the turf today, mad windy. Throws were mediocre all around, but we had some ladies play well so all is good.
To all that read this, please stay safe. We must depend on each other.
Can't stop. Won't stop.
