The Thang
Fourteen PAX posted at Timberwolf for a full-field ultimate frisbee battle. Teams were drawn, trash was talked, and the disc took flight.
Team 1: Snip, Crabgrass, Pad Thai, Cookie, L Woods, Warby, Futon Team 2: DTH, Rudy, Fandango, Festivus, Flyboy, Hei Hei, Heist
Team 1 jumped out to an early lead behind a balanced attack. Pad Thai, Warby, and Crabgrass were making plays all over the deep field, while Snip was surgical — pinpoint accurate and cleaning up everything in the middle of the field like a man possessed. Cookie played lockdown defense, Futon made plays on both sides of the ball, and L Woods was the unsung hero, keeping possessions alive with steady intermediate throws that kept the chains moving.
But Team 2 wasn’t going quietly. They found their rhythm with the deep ball, connecting on long bombs that clawed the game back within reach and had Team 1 sweating. Fandango overcame some, let’s say, conditioning challenges to make some big plays down the stretch. Festivus wasn’t handing out any freebies — every catch against him was earned, full price, no discounts.
In the end, Team 1 held on for the 7-5 victory.
Moleskin
- Futon spent the morning living rent-free in Rudy’s head with relentless Tundra talk. Psychological warfare is legal at Timberwolf.
- Flyboy has the heart of a lion. Unfortunately, he does not run like a cheetah. We love him anyway.
- DTH lobbied hard to draft Snip to Team 2, but he was in the SOS today — and we call the shots. Better luck next draft.
- Snip’s accuracy in the middle of the field should probably be investigated by the league office.
- Deep passes kept Team 2 in it, but Team 1’s depth and defense sealed the deal.
COT
Prayers and praises shared. Grateful for the PAX who posted and left it all on the field. Until next time — Crabgrass out. Prayers for Fandango & Futons co-worker and Cookies friend.
