One week in, not many left...

Thought I'd throw some thoughts up now that we've finished our first week of spring practice. It's odd thinking that this could be my last year of college ultimate. I don't know exactly what I'll be doing next year, but the chances that it involves college disc and the amount of fun I have with my team is not nearly as high as I'd like.

It's interesting evaluating my team since we're essentially the same team we were last year, plus some new freshmen and with a lot more experience. I will say that after our first two practices outside, we appear to have a lot more fire than we did last year. Since we've been missing some of our defensive studs (Kulkarni, Kulkarni *in Buehler voice*), I would have expected a lot less intensity, but our new players especially have really been bringing it.

Of our older players, Mutton has been playing out of his mind. 50 yard hammers, ridiculous lay-outs, near-death experiences, etc. If he doesn't hurt himself, I think he's a legit all-region candidate. When we get Jonah back from his hammy injury, I think we're going to have a lot of play-making ability that was missing last year. This is going to compliment our growing stable of role players that gives us needed consistency.

In general, we're a better team than last year and we weren't bad last year. Huck of the Irish looks to have a great field and the eye is going to be playing on Sunday.

Pictures of our new uniforms should be up tomorrow.
