Haters sayin' you changed, now you doin' your thing

I love hearing the other team yell to my defender "Watch out, he's gonna run" and have it do absolutely nothing.

I might not get many more times like this, but it sure is nice to punish someone for taking the easy "fat kid" matchup.

I think that Snatch game gave me another gear. Both phyiscally and mentally. I have never pushed myself so hard offensively to make them work. Everytime I got open I just wanted to show them over and over that they cannot stop me. I have never wanted the ball so bad.

At social today I again pushed harder than I have before. I am not sure if this is a product of me actually getting in somewhat better shape, which lets me push that much more, or if I just unlocked some willpower and I can push a little more. Again, I just wanted the ball.

All in all, I think the tournament went well, save a few exceptions. We all played much better on day 2, but I am not sure if that is a product of us using our first day experience, or us playing worse, hungover, sub-light teams. I think that many people are overlooking a good portion of our bad decisions on Day 2 because unlike Day 1, our opponents failed to punish us for them. Instead of watching 7express march down the field after one of turnovers, we got to laugh off a ridiculous hammer and watch one of the opposing players drop a disc.

Regardless of our play, we certainly made noise. Lots of players saw us, more heard us. Even if we don't make it to regionals this year, we might actually get to hold tryouts next year because of how much exposure we got. We will have an easier time getting into tournments.

And we surely will not get seeded 27th out of 32.
