Indoor has only gone downhill since the first practice. The intensity has stayed pretty high, but people are getting grumpier and grumpier and injuries are becoming commonplace. I'm attributing my injury to it, but it occurred on the first day of indoor so I'm not sure how much merit that has. Regardless, someone is going to get hurt going into the boards or bidding and I cannot wait to move outdoors.
I mean, constantly getting open under is fun for a (long) while, but when the only way you can score is through ten-thousand little passes you eventually end up on the wrong end of a 99% throw. Every other house has a big-play threat, be it Huckindor with everyone, Hufflepuff with Ed Too-Tall Jones, or Satanclaw with Mitch. Creeperin, without BJC, only has a short game, and a mediocre one at that. Our throws outside of me and Hazelnut are average at best and even I am coming down with a case of the dropsies (4 today that I can remember).
Right now our two n00bs are a liability, but I think if they keep on showing up they have a pretty high ceiling. Both clearly have no problem leaving their feet, and Kevin today cleared out really well. They've both played sports before so they know what goes into being on a team and seem to be picking up concepts pretty well. I think they will play much better outdoors rather than inside, as knowing how to clear the fuck out of the lanes is a lot more important when six people are trying to use them rather than two. We gotta get them to a party before they figure out we're weird.
Huckindor won 20+ games today on the back of Brad getting back to how he played in his prime last semester, Ben getting jacked and running forever, and Kool-Aid just tooling on people. Kool-Aid in particular is playing well this semester -- I think he's starting to understand what he's doing, plus hes getting some ridiculous hands and is getting his athletic ability back. He's going to be a force to reckon with come sectionals.
Huffle is looking pretty good too. Andy is playing out of his mind and is even learning some discretion with the disc. Tom is starting to play to his height a bit more and his hands are starting to grow some glue on them.
I'd talk about Satanclaw, but there's not much to say besides MC is old and Mitch and A.Pinn are still really good. Oops, I forgot that E.Herbst isn't hurt anymore. Did we really give them all these studs?
We thankfully ended up getting a sick freshmen class, with multiple players showing leadership qualities and dedication. GUNX might be here to stay.
I'm gonna do high weight on Tuesday. high rep on Wednesday, indoor on Thursday from now until I inevitably have a conflict.
I can't wait to move outdoors for practice, as that means I can finally do some cardio without doing something ridiculously boring like running for funsies. I can barely play Magic for funsies and you expect me to run?
I think I'm gonna start the brownie plan in the beginning March (rather than exactly a month before sectionals), as the limited material that I've read suggests that the earlier the better, although after being a month removed from smoking (I've only found material for smoking cigarettes, so while I would presume the damage to my lungs is less, I cannot be sure) your lung capacity increases 30%, so that is the bare minimum I suggest to anyone currently on the "smoke everyday plan".
That's all I got for now. My plan is to create a fire for frisbee by creating a fire for blagging, but if that doesn't pan I'm just gonna have to suck it up and play like I know I can.
Word.
