I mean we're talking about

Practice. (For reference)

Had like 8 people who could play, other randoms showed up (sup Bridget, Meghantron, etc.) and we threw until probably 430 when Robert/Charles showed up. Warm ups stretching good stuff. Had the best end-zone drill the team has ever done, hands down. Laid out and I think dragged the toes to save our streak of two. We got to 5 a million times, 9 once, I think 14, and finally 16 ( goal was 15). People ran hard, and once the intensity was up it was contagious. 

Played ten-pull but to 5, O vs. D. Ended up losing 2-0, but I burned Brad on every point and Rob just needed to rein in his hucks a little and it very easily could have been a 5-0 shutout in our favor. We ran our two laps and I almost died. I didn't die.

We started off our scrimmage with teams of Me, Rob, Milano, and Bradbrochill vs. MC, Nicole, Mitch Mitchell, and Charles. We gave up a few quick ones before clamping down on our garbage and scoring a few. I don't remember many specifics but eventually Ben came in and we called penultimate point (HOWS THAT FOR VOCAB 2X4) and Rob roflpwn'd Ben on a Hammer from someone. It was pretty. Then for real universe I threw a shitty OI backhand (most are) to Ben who somehow came up with it, dumped it to me, and I Stall minus one hammered it to him for the point. At least we ended on a good note.

Rob cone-raced Ben at the end and had a shot to win if he didn't drop the 3rd cone. He then proceeded to do sprints and agility drills while the rest of us threw scoobers.  I figured out how to put some hip into my flick and now it's nasty. Once I get my backhand I will be a passable handler on a passable team.


Today's practice restored some confidence in this team. We ran, hard. Rob ran after practice, hard. We threw after, we talked ultimate after, there were delicious potatoes at has after. I needed that layout during endzone drill badly, and I got it. We'll see where this goes, as I have 2 large papers and a test this week, but after that I think I might be ready to skullfuck. Bard is this weekend and I don't feel like losing again, plus winning a tournament makes Mitchapalooza that much better.

This was much too long for a rather uneventful practice, but I can't let Chichester out-blag me.
