Amazing what a month can do
(Blogger ate this the first time. My healthy paranoia and copy/paste saved me.)
Close to 30 days out of Nationals, even with doing some running and lifting over the past month, 2+ hours of drilling and scrimmaging indoors this past weekend thrashed me pretty well. It could be because of the marathon points (by-product of playing with a 3rd tier college team) combined with those calling lines appointing me the primary cutter on most plays. Or I might just be soft.
To improve their team, my old college team has been recruiting track, basketball and football players. They actually had one guy (soph wide receiver) come out on Sunday towards the end of practice. He was as raw as you could get (following the flight path without reading, hovering deep without cutting), but damn was he fast. It basically became a "throw it deep to the new guy" competition. Will he catch a bit of the fever and stay on? Probably not, but it was good to see a little bit of progress made on the recruiting front. For a borderline team, even 1 good athlete can help quite a bit.
P.S. Apparently Ultvillage has a clip of Bravo and SZ today. No internet at home + filters at work=No Clip of the Day for me. Someone care to fill me in on the highlight?

How do the guys from your old team go about recruiting the athletes?
One of my co-alumni (and a fellow member of SZ) coaches for St. Olaf and has no shame about approaching random people. Because it's a smaller (ie <3,000 students) private school, everyone lives in the dorm so most recruits are friends through floors or class, etc. Having a good friend or two on a varsity sport helps spread the word too.
Oh, parties with the womens team, as well as spring break trips to High Tide (the womens team goes too) also perks their attention.
I meant dorms. It's not that small.
Some dude w/ red hat, throws floaty, crappy huck to Mark Bearsand?!? With Matty from Colorado tracking down.
Both get to the disc and Matty from Colorado definitely tips it, but it floats softly into Mark's hands.
Thanks Timmy. According to Phil, it was a wicked anvert.
Nice to see Berkseth on the other end of a tip, considering his D/tip caught for a goal in 2004 against Bravo (I think), which was captured nicely on the Airborne DVD.
