Sidelines 2012 – 01 – 21

Welcome! To the second Sidelines of 2012, which is shaping up to be quite a year. The AUDL, the NGN, the end of the world, it’s even an election year. (Colbert/Stewart 2012! Hey South Carolina, a vote for Herman Cain is a vote for Colbert, just saying.) Bob was right, the times they are a-changin’.

Sidelines 2012 – 01 – 06

Happy doomsyear! 2012 is upon us, so let’s make the most of it. My new years resolution: go to at least one tournament I’ve never been to. Achievable I think. But enough about me, if there’s one thing I’d like to see achieved this year, it’s filling the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan come August 12. Big goings on in the Ultimate Frisbee world these days, and I mean BIG. This week on Sidelines:

CUC 2011 Calling it now – Part Deux point CINQ!

Oh silly me, thinking that I had adequately conveyed my intentions and that I was trying to be a nice guy instead of a scumbag.  Before I get around to that part I do need to add additional points that readers have added in the comments as well as those that I have received via email.

Also, thank you to everybody that posted and emailed.  It’s great to see how passionate we are about our sport and it will continue to be my intention to encourage conversation.

CUC 2011 Calling it now – Part 1

I apologize for not posting in a few months; the new company ticks along quite well and that’s due to the hard work of many.  Work combined with a lack of an Ontario season, May was almost fully rained out, meant little Ultimate to speak of for this reason.  However, it is now time to return to this site and I shall do so in grand fashion by making predictions on CUC 2011 results…right now.

There are a few rules to this game so as to provide maximum enjoyment for the reader:

  1. I must make a prediction in every division for the top four.
  2. I cannot say it’s too close to call.
  3. If, in my mind, there is a tie then I must do my best to antagonize a local team (usually Southern Ontario).
  4. I must select a Dark Horse for each division.
For those in the dark, CUC 2011 will be held in Ottawa it will decide which team primarily represents Canada at the World Country Championships next year.  The divisions are:  Open, Women’s, Mixed, Masters, and Juniors.  This may also be the last Juniors or second to last Juniors division at a CUC.
Now, onwards to me calling out my friends!
