Hey, all.

 

Well, I hope those of you in Spring League 2009 enjoyed Playoffs this past weekend.  Things really went well despite the 0-80 mph winds.  That is, of course, a rough estimate.  I dropped out of meteorlogy school.  Thanks for bringing that up.

Anyway, I'd like to say congratulation to the winners of Spring League.  So, Congratulations to ... wait .... what's that?  We don't have league winners?  Well, ... what?  Semis and Finals are Wednesday?!  Well, hot dog!!

 

It turns out we aren't finished, yet!!

 

Come on out and watch the Semis and Finals games this week Wednesday at Diablo Fields.  Game times are 6pm for the Semis and 8pm for the Finals.  Come see the Best of the Best.  Cheer on your favorite teams and heckle your favorite players.  It's a really fun way to spend the evening and you might win a couple bucks, too, if we can get someone cool, like Ken Mayer to come out and run Fantasy Ultimate *hint* *hint*.  And, afterwards, head on out to Boulders on Broadway where it's half-priced pizza and appetizers and beer specials for ultimate folks.

 

What?  You say you can't wait until Wednesday to hang out with friends and watch some quality ultimate?  Then, come on out tonight to wait the Semis and Finals of the Best of the Rest (not meant to be literal, since you're all winners.)  Games start at 6pm and 8pm.  It's a great opportunity to practice your heckling.

 

And, finally, I'd like to thank some folks that really make league what it is.  When you think about what you get for league, it's 10 lighted 2-hour games, a shirt, a disc, playoffs, and a BBQ for 30 bucks, you start to realize how much effort is put into making league what it is.

So, I'm hoping you all can help me thank a few folks.  Katherine Nabity, who tallys the scores, keeps the records, runs the web, maintains the roster, and keeps me organized.  Without her, we're pretty screwed.  Monika and Josiah who made multiple CostCo runs and pretty much supply all the food and drink for the BBQ.  Laura Smolinki for spending her Friday night cutting up a crap-load of vegetables, because I think grilled burgers need sliced tomatoes and hot dogs need diced onions.  Michael Clark for borrowing a truck, and dealing with the grill, Daryl Miller for letting us use his grill, Keith Aspinall for always providing his support as the father of modern day VOTS, Eddie and Marni Rangel (new player's parents) for grilling all the food, the set-up and clean-up crews, field set-up folks, and all of the captains, who helped me with setting up fields, taking down fields, calling time caps and hopefully making your ultimate experience a better one.

 

Please take a moment to thank any, or even all, of these folks.  Because without them, we wouldn't have the league that we do.

 

So, I hope you all can make it out to the games tonight and/or Wednesday night.  I know all of the players would love your support.

 

And, I will see you on the fields.
