I agree with Kenton's scouting report. How do I know this? Let's just say my 4th and 5th cervical vertebrae are currently turned 180 degrees from normal. That's thanks to a "going for the frisbee" hit by Ryan. The horror, the horror...

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I'll be able to make it tomorrow - I've got a contractor coming over early to help hang some 12 foot lengths of sheet rock. However, in my absence, I feel the need to provide a scouting report on Ryan, so that whoever is unlucky enough to guard him has a fighting chance:
1. Ryan is physically tough, but mentally weak. He might be able to out run you and jump higher than you can, but he'll crack like an egg and cry like baby if you disparage something dear to him, like his goofy beard or his Back Street Boys hair-do.
2. Despite Ryan's speed and ability, it isn't enough for him to simply dominate a game. He gets no enjoyment out of winning - it's just too easy for him. The only thing that gives him any satisfaction is getting away with cheating. He'd gladly trade an end-zone to end-zone score and an amazing lay-out catch for the glee of a cheap foul that goes uncalled. The key here is to call fouls early and often (don't worry, there will be PLENTY of opportunity) - that way he'll know he can't push you around. At this point he'll probably find some excuse to switch teams.
3. Though typically a good handler, Ryan is easiliy rattled. See #1. When he does, invariably, make a mistake, don't let him forget it. Razz him mercilously. Tell him that the JV squad practices in the afternoon. Tell him your pre-schooler gives throwing lessons and offer a discount.
4. Ryan's primary advantage stems from his arrival on the field 45 minutes after everyone else has started playing. Like I stated above, it's not enough for him to win, he has to dominate in order so satisfy his fragile ego. (At home he plays tackle football with his kids. The oldest is 3.) Unfortunately, the only way to even the odds is to either come late yourself or stoop to his level and cheat cheat cheat. I generally find it easier to cheat.
Hope that helps!
Have fun tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, hoping that the weather holds for another week. If so, I'll see you next Saturday.

Here I thought that Ron would not post so we could start a little later.
OK. I will be there at 7:30. I will see if I can bring a few friends or at
least a few of my boys.
Weather looks like it will be a little cool. Bring gloves.
Reid
Hey all,
1. how about we start at 7:30 (for the selfish reason that I still have to get
one of my sons to a 9 am class)?
2. so, Ryan, show up earlier than 8:15!
3. clean.slatedm - in the summer, yes, 7 am, but colder months has tended
towards 8 - see #1. above.
4. Swindler! Glad to hear that you are still out here. Go to
http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/HRUltimate/ for directions. If you have
questions, call me on my cell 303-906-9553 (I changed it from the Indiana
number)
5. there is no #5 - see you all tomorrow.

I think by Saturday things will be more stable with Cindy and
I can get away for awhile. It was a pretty ugly break. It
is going to be months before things return to normal at the Hamilton
