Illinois Ultimate: Pool Party
http://illiniulti.blogspot.com/2015/05/pool-party.html
University of Illinois Men's Ultimate Frisbee team. Monday, May 11, 2015. Well, our pool is tough. This is kind of a funny statement, because any pool we'd be in would be tough. These are tough teams. In theory, the 20 toughest in the nation. Lunch before taking on UNC to close out the day. I can dig it. The next day starts a little early but I like that too, and I like that we play both games back-to-back that day. We don't even have to move fields! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Illinois Ultimate: November 2011
http://illiniulti.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
University of Illinois Men's Ultimate Frisbee team. Wednesday, November 9, 2011. Ultimate has only provided me with 3 sleepless nights. One of them was the night before my first A-team tournament, and in my defense the lineup at Border Brawl '09 was amazing. It was an 8 team tournament and you were guaranteed to compete against every team. 7/8 of these teams ended up making it to Nationals. Extremely similar competition to what we get to face at MLC.

Illinois Ultimate: August 2011
http://illiniulti.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
University of Illinois Men's Ultimate Frisbee team. Saturday, August 6, 2011. NexGen v. Machine. Some notes from the Machine side. A few key players were missing, most notably Machine Captain Mike Shiel and Illinois Superstud Joel Koehneman. Illinois Captain Ryan Smith made his first Chicago Machine appearance. 6 points played, 2 turnovers, 1 assisst. I'm not sure about D's but I am going to go out on a limb and say 0. Rory of Machine came down with some great jump balls. From the NexGen side.

Illinois Ultimate: October 2011
http://illiniulti.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
University of Illinois Men's Ultimate Frisbee team. Thursday, October 27, 2011. Why you should Watch Club Nationals. It's the last weekend of October, and that means it's the weekend of Club Nationals. Even if you don't feel a special affinity for any team there, or feel like you don't care about what happens throughout the course of the weekend, you should still try to watch a couple games. Why? Tuesday, October 11, 2011. How much better I am than my guy and Eminem Lyrics. However, this is not the reaso...

Illinois Ultimate: January 2012
http://illiniulti.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
University of Illinois Men's Ultimate Frisbee team. Sunday, January 22, 2012. Looking forward to Free State. Free State is February 25-26th. That means we have 5 weeks to go. 5 weeks is quite misleading as it lends to the illusion of time. We only have 14 practices between now and our first game. 8 of these practices we don't even have the opportunity to touch a disc, we also have 4 more Irwin practices and 2 more skill sessions in the Armory. Mentally it is much easier to compartmentalize the season, if...

Illinois Ultimate: October 2012
http://illiniulti.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
University of Illinois Men's Ultimate Frisbee team. Wednesday, October 3, 2012. Everyone is familiar with how tough it is to transition into season. Working out more, trying to diet tighter, wanting sleep more because of your increased activity level all add up and make the first few weeks almost unbearable. Morale of the story, my offseason is over. Don't long for it because being in season feels way better and way more human than being out of season. Monday, October 1, 2012. Teams use results of games ...

Illinois Ultimate: February 2013
http://illiniulti.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
University of Illinois Men's Ultimate Frisbee team. Tuesday, February 26, 2013. For the Improving Player. This blog is for b-teamers. Specifically, for b-teamers who want to be a-teamers. Many of these now included in post script. How much can a player improve in one year? I was in the unique position of being a terrible athlete and having terrible disc skills as a rookie. I tried very hard to improve both of these throughout all four years with varying success. In practice, however, we see many players ...

Illinois Ultimate: April 2012
http://illiniulti.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
University of Illinois Men's Ultimate Frisbee team. Monday, April 9, 2012. Forget Nationals. That’s what you should do for the next 3 weeks. My point: if you’re not motivated by the desire to be as good as we possibly can, then be motivated by the possibility that our season might end in 3 weeks. Picture how disappointing and embarrassing it would be to finish 3rd in Naperville and watch Michigan and Michigan State play at Nationals. Let that fear push you. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Illinois Ultimate: August 2012
http://illiniulti.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
University of Illinois Men's Ultimate Frisbee team. Wednesday, August 29, 2012. It’s really hard to lead a team of kids who think they are good, when a team that makes Nationals loses 8 guys, the other 19 look around and say, “hey we got this.” That is where Illinois Ultimate fell apart in 2012. Place squad.”. The 2012 legacy is not a very good one, but now that every returner at Illinois knows what it feels like to miss Natties, I am confident that they won't take the trip for granted.
