Ultimate Superstar!

I know that I was going to pester Lindsay about doing a blog post about her new job, but to quote a famous person

I need to save my nagging for more important stuff

Can you guess who the wise person that pulled that one out?

Anywho, I just thought I’d make a little brag post about how awesome I am. If you haven’t heard, (which i’d be surprised if you did) I was in the newspaper.

Which newspaper you ask?

The Gauntlet. What? you’ve never heard of it. It’s just the leading University newspaper (*cough*in calgary*cough*)

So why was I in the newspaper?

Well, mostly because how great I am. But also because of my ultimate frisbee abilities. Seriously though. Bronco, our competitive co-ed ultimate team was hosting a fundraiser for next year (Bronco ‘08 as I like to call it). We were hosting the event along with Crude another competitive co-ed ultimate team. Anyway, the Gauntlet decided to do an article on ultimate and take some pictures of us playing. As you can tell in the picture below I’m a superstar. That’s right. Although, Amber Pazarka, and that other chick really got in the way of that camera taking a picture of me.

You can read the whole story about why you should play ultimate at the Gauntlet website. Warning, and I think terri said it best, the story is ….

it’s rather pro-women (rah, rah, we’re an important part of the game, yadda, yadda) and they seem to be selling it as a good way for single people to meet someone in kind of a “we say we aren’t a dating service sport but by saying this we kind of are making ourselves one” way

I was fairly disappointed after seeing the online version because in the school paper version there’s a dude throwing. And let’s just say he doesn’t have “the best” form. But the best part is the caption underneath saying

Hizzah, this guy is totally ultimate!

Hmmm, what does it say about the sport if the school newspaper doesn’t take this sport seriously?
