Perfect season gone!
Although it's a week late, news of Pinkies Up defeat at the hands of Wanna Buy a Duck in the Minneapolis Winter Indoor League has already permeated the ultimate community. It wasn't close, really (i.e. 6 points or so not close). Our decisions were decidedly sketchy, even for winter league standards(and by "our decisions", I mean "my decisions").
I've always enjoyed the timing and general attitude around playing winter league. I treat it as a fun/social way to get back into the mix after getting burnt out on a long club season. However, there still are definite competitive undertones and playing a good game against teams filled with Zero/Bait players makes it even better. Also at some point soon, we'll all have to band together and hire part-time child care staff for all the babies hanging out on the sidelines!
We get the late slot tonight (11 PM) against the revamped Rocket, who continue to go the way of brother pairs and husband/wife combos (the Mooers, Fenskes, Schmits, and formerly Severts). If Tony Severt shows, I really hope he breaks out his .purple and yellow Converse sneaks a la Magic Johnson. Those things are amazing.
In non-ultimate related news, Eli hates the cold...bring on the flurries!

They're blue and yellow Nikes, but yeah, they're ugly. The saving grace for me is that I don't ever have to look at them once they're on my feet. It turns out that although 11pm is not too late for me to play ultimate, 11:58 pm is. I was asleep with those shoes under my pillow.
It occurred to me that you might be trolling with that line, making an attempt to determine something about the outer reaches of your readership. If so, you're going to have to look beyond here. I'm reading.
I wasn't trolling, but now I may have to post intentional misinformation about winter league strategies (such as they are).
Those shoes are like the old Nike Vapors that people stocked up on and play in only at tournaments!
After last night, nobody's perfect.
formerly.....I ain't dead or anything
BS
I was going by the online roster, which didn't have you listed.
