Frozen. I'd say it was a pretty good time. Playing with the alums was kind of like playing with a group of kids from practice a few years ago. We're all a little better than we were then, but there's more potential for miscommunication and not knowing each other's styles.
Hottest part of the day on sunday was throwing some gender switchy D against a Wombat O that exploited our men deep. Hoffman posts in back and the women work to cut off the in-cuts up front. Brilliant. It frustrated and confused them for about an 8-point run.
Personally, I played alright. I think I was 4-0 for forehand hucks to women. One was almost full field! Yay for having Fuyuki and Matissa (rockstar from Brutesquad???) as receivers. However, I was about 0-4 for backhand hucks or hucks to men. I know, I'm a hater.
There wasn't much D to be played on the women, sadly. Coed is often like that when you come up against bad coed teams that don't include their women in their offense. (Yes, I'm a hater.)
Awesome moment: I have the disc on the end line and a few people are making crappy jukey cuts right in front of me. It's all crowded, but Mikey makes a crystal clear, perfect cut to the back corner, so I put it--just a little, quick, low-release flick, right into his hands. A split second after it goes up, two wombat men bid from either side of me and smash into each other and the ground at the same time, coming up empty handed, of course. Sometimes Ultimate is like a tacky ninja movie. Totally sweet.
