When the Q was opened for Friday morning’s festivities, the opportunity was seized to put the Froccer disc on the shelf and go back to the older glory that is Ultimate.
Lines were already drawn, cones were set, and YHC’s idea to use a Booster-style team selection process failed spectacularly and resulted in five minutes of lost game time. And, in honor of the occasion, special throwback “smedium” jerseys were donned by one side. We were also honored to receive guest appearances from the Turning Point Trio.
YHC’s squad did pick up the narrow victory at the end, undoubtedly bolstered by a one-man advantage throughout the game. There were some factors working against us aside from the typical drops and sometimes goofy throws that a typical Friday morning holds that had to be overcome, however. Booster’s erasures of long throw attempts hindered progress, and we continued chucking it because…that’s just what we do. Secondly, and perhaps more significantly, Floppy Disk played 90 percent of the game holding some “extra weight.” It was, quite honestly, on the same level as Michael Jordan’s “flu game” (that the Last Dance documentary told us was actually food-poisoned pizza. Floppy also ate pizza last night. Just saying.)
