  • Super Bowl XXXVI

    Ultimate Frisbee | Team 2 def. Team 1, 7-6

    Team 1 (The Greatest Show on Turf): Crabgrass, Fandango, Rudy, Flyboy
    Team 2 (The Patriots): Matlock, Pad Thai, Hei Hei, Da Bear, Festivus

    Every so often a game shows up on the schedule that you’ve already seen before. February 2002. The Rams were the highlight reel, the fastest, flashiest offense anybody had ever put on turf. The Patriots were the guys who tackled you, took what you gave them, and never made a mistake. Everybody knew who was more fun to watch. Everybody knows who lifted the trophy.

    Team 1 came out flying. Passes were crisp and moving down the field in a hurry. Rudy was going up and snagging everything above the rim. Fandango found the seams all morning, exactly what you expect from the 2025 BOS champ. Flyboy demanded coverage — they had to account for him on every single possession, and that opened things up for everyone else. YHC was dialed in on the throws early and the disc was going exactly where it was supposed to go.

    Back and forth to 3-3. It felt like ours.

    Then Team 2 did what Team 2 does. No fireworks. No hero ball. Just a smothering defense that closed every window a half-second before it opened, and an offense that took precisely what was in front of it and executed at damn near a flawless level. 5-3. Then 6-3.

    We got one back to make it 6-4. They answered: 7-4.

    The Iron Pax bill came due right about then. Week 1 was yesterday, all the running you’d expect, and YHC hit the wall square in the third quarter. Legs gone, lungs gone. But we found something — a big TD to pull us within one at 7-6, and suddenly the sideline believed again. Rudy was out there working himself into a genuine puke-shade of green, trying to be a downfield threat and then sprint back on defense. He was about one deep cut from redecorating the end zone.

    The flurry came. We threw everything at it to tie it up. It fell short.

    Moleskin

    • Rudy’s win streak dies at 1. Matlock’s is born at 1. Circle of life.
    • The roster sheet says five against four. Just noting it for the historical record, no further comment.
    • Flyboy had a couple of drops he’s going to see when he closes his eyes tonight. He also made them cover him all day. Net positive, and the hands come back.
    • Fandango fought valiantly right to the end. Champions don’t have a coast setting.
    • Credit where it’s owed: Team 2 didn’t get lucky. They defended, they were patient, and they didn’t beat themselves. That’s the whole formula and it’s harder than it looks.
    • Style points don’t go on the scoreboard. Ask the ’01 Rams.

    COT

    Prayers and praises up. Grateful for everyone who posted the day after Iron Pax week 1 and still left it out there. Team 1 will be back. — Crabgrass out.

  • “Winners win”… Rudy Can Say that now!

    9 HIMs showed up, 8 salty grid iron vets and 1 plucky FNG.

    Teams: Team 1 “The Heroes” – Fandango, Warby, Wildcat, Rudy; Team 2 “The Villains” – Crabgrass, Da Bear, The Duke, Festivus, FNG

    4 vs 5 … nothing we haven’t encountered before… Heroes fight the odds… Heroes show up when out numbered… Heroes don’t back down (unless to catch their breath several times)…

    Team 1 started strong and kept the gas pedal down for most of the game to get a commanding lead of 5-3… then 6-3… the 7 – 3. It was around 7-3 that the Villains who were graciously sitting one person out to even up the field (and rest a fresh man but we won’t hold that against them) decided that they needed the 5th man on the field because THE HEROES were Fantastic Four horsemen of their apocalypse. The Villains finally were able to catch up to 5-7 and decided on a KICK that would tie the game if they made it. It all relied on one foot… Not Festivus crooked toes… But Crabby and his unstoppable nature to always strategize to get the upper hand (Like the Patriots Dynasty)… Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead… focus was paid to the ball in his hand… he kicked … for the tie?!?!?!! Did he make it?!?!?!?!?!

    Crabby is the NEW RUDY now!

    Wide Left…. MISS!

    THE HEROES WON!!!

    Highlights from the game:

    • Warby with some amazing TDs after he exercised the demons from his hands; it seemed like this man was a man playing among little blind kids who couldn’t find him.
    • RUDY with some flash of Lynn Swann catching… hands so soft that balls fall easily into them. So happy for this deep field threat… Thunder Dolphin … Sleek, gliding in and out, cuts through the school of fish and end up jumping out of the water to catch the ball… truly amazing. INT at goalline to stop TD!!!
    • Wildcat… THIS MAN CANNOT BE COVERED OR STOPPED! A force to be reckoned with… a cheetah flying through the Serengeti hunting his prey. PICK 6!!!
    • Fandango… Dropping Dimes every where he threw the ball… seemed like he couldn’t miss… balls on your chest… BOOM! You now an Only Fans model from him!
    • Crabby … amazing leadership and fortitude… a true Captain of the Titanic.
    • Festivus … This man is always a deep ball threat and very cunning in his route choices. Elusive
    • Da Bear, his skills are dangerous… defense always but now an offensive threat that we need to worry about…
    • The Duke… Man can get the ball down the field and can be right in tune with his team on where to go andf how to do it with effective strikes
    • FNG… “Pick”… he did well his first time…
    • Interceptions: Fandango, Wildcat PICK 6!!!, Rudy AT THE GOALINE TO STOP A TD, FNG Pick got his first pick…(All INTs thrown by Crabby I believe… sloppy throws)

    Prayers – Tzatziki’s father, Wildcat got good news w/ positive scans

  • This one’s for you, Rooster

    Ultimate Frisbee | Team 1 def. Team 2, 10-6
    Team 1: Fandango, Flyboy, Festivus, Da Bear
    Team 2: Crabgrass, Rudy, Orange Crush, Squash

    Light was short, so the field got short, and that turned out to be the best decision anybody made all morning. Less real estate, more chaos. Score early, score often, no time to catch your breath between points.

    It was a knife fight through the first half. 1-1. 2-2. 3-3. Neither side could string two together. Every possession felt like it mattered because it did.

    Highlight of the day belonged to Da Bear, who cashed in a disc that Orange Crush got a fingertip on. Tipped, floating, everybody stopped for a half-second to figure out where it was going — except Da Bear, who was already there. Touchdown and a permanent spot in the group chat.

    Which brings us to the call.

    Da Bear claimed Crabgrass got a hand on the disc while it was still in the thrower’s hand. Replay — and by replay I mean four sets of eyeballs and the laws of physics — clearly showed the disc had left. HIGHLY questionable. Capital letters were used at the time. But this is F3, not the NFL, so we moved on like gentlemen.

    Crabgrass did, however, begin narrating every subsequent swat. Dikembe finger wag included. “CLEAR OF THE HAND.” Every single time. Purely for the historical record.

    That woke Team 2 up. Rudy went full Rudy — a couple of catches out there that had no business being completed, the kind where you’re already conceding the point and then he’s standing in the end zone holding the disc. We clawed all the way back to 6-6 and the momentum was ours.

    And then we hit the wall. Team 1 tightened up on D, extended their cherry-picking range to roughly the parking lot, and we couldn’t get bodies back in transition fast enough. They closed it out 10-6.

    MOLESKIN

    Short field is the move. Put it in the rotation.

    Even Superman doesn’t win every day. Not every day is yours. But this story ends with Team 2 as Superman — we’re just in the part of the movie where he’s flat on his back in the crater.

    Rematch. Same teams. Bring the replay official.

  • Some put the “foot” in Football

    6 HIMs showed up on a beautiful dark Thursday morning to play Ultimate Football. Some slept in…(Couch)….Lights lit up the arena and the game was commenced with what we thought was honor and respect for the catching abilities some possess.

    Teams were selected:

    Team 1 = Crabby, Festivus, & Cookie

    Team 2 = Fandango, Hei-Hei- & Flyboy.

    Team 1 and Team 2 exchanged early blows in TDs to be tied 2-2 … BUT THEN… Team 2 exploded and scored multiple times with rigorous combinations that Team 1 didn’t know what hit them to put Team 1 up 5-2… Team 2 had the playing ability edge here with their fast feet and hands… Team 1, not so much hands. So, going through the rules, Team 1 looked at their deceptive hands a knew that they couldn’t win with these sloppy, clumsy, useless hands… they opted to using the kicking rule for 2 TDs worth and succeeded in their first attempt with Crabby kicking it through the uprights. 5-4 now. Team 2 struck back with a kick of their own to show HOW EASY it was and Team 1 tried again but Crabby couldn’t find the magic anymore. 7-4 now. Team 1 kicked again, missing,… kicked again, making it and then added on a solo TD to tie the game 7 -7 with time just barely on the clock. Team 2 played the game RIGHT… THEY PLAYED THE GAME RIGHT! But Team 1 NEEDED to kick again and ended up going over the time and it ended in a TIE. Officially a TIE. 7-7

    Had the kick rule not been implemented… Had “baby P.I.” not been called on Hei-Hei… Had Festivus not sunk so low as to bloody Hei -Hei in the lip to slow him down… Had all these factors not have happened… Team 1 was the real losers today with the score truly being 5 -3… Team 2 won the game… the pure game of Ultimate Football…

    However, because Team 1 couldn’t play ball like men, they were gifted points from kicks and the score was 9 -7 off a Festivus kick (Yawn).

    Highlights:

    Team 1 kicks because they can’t f***ing play with their hands….

    Team 2 was masterful: Hei-Hei laying out for passes, Fandango being a pornstar hitting chests with his balls, and Flyboy using his burst of 5 second speed to run past the snoring Team 1 to score some amazing catches.

    COT – Stuff this Friday with F3 and wings and pool, Rucking 9.11, and we prayed for us having a beautiful day.

  • “In your name we play, Amen!”

    Where rain maybe threatened our good time this morning, none fell upon us on this glorious morning and game of Ultimate Football… except a rain cloud did follow a certain team in the end.

    New Rules were applied: 1. A team can attempt a kick from 25yds out through the uprights and earn 2 TDs. 2. A defender who intercepts a pass can free run but also give up his run and throw while running forward. Once pass is caught, he is no longer the free runner. 3. Thrower can not advance forward but can scramble back as many steps as possible and left and right but cannot break the defenders established line. Defender can press upon thrower which moves the line wherever the defender moves to.

    Team Captains Da Bear & Cookie picked formidable teams.

    Cookie Monsters = Cookie, Crabby, Rudy, Pad Thai, Matlock.

    Da Bears 85 Team = Da Bear, Fandango, Warby, Festivus, Hei Hei

    The stage was set and highlights were flowing.

    • Da Bears 85 shot to a commanding lead 3 -0. Cookie Monsters fought back to even it 3-3.
    • Da Bear made some awesome catches, an almost pick 6 with burning Rudy on the outside but the leaping leprechaun got him barely with two sweaty hands and a frightened heart that said “I’m glad I wasn’t a penny on Da Bear train tracks!”
    • Rudy had some deep ball catches that solidified why he is a solid pick. This elusive SOB was leaving DeLorean fire tracks all over the field… his routes looked like Ray Charles taking a piss in the snow spelling his name.
    • Festivus strategized perfectly on his offense and defense to be the biggest threat out there on the field. Swatting down passes and catching some hot streaking passes.
    • Warby was unstoppable in his game play. The man was open every time. The man was reliable every time. The man… was THE MAN out there.
    • Matlock, Cookie, and Fandango were good game managers and moved the ball well with the precision of surgeons cutting up their patients.
    • Hei Hei with the BALL RIPPING grip out of Rudy’s small, elfish hands that made him the reason we call him “G.I. Joe” and “Army Strong”… Strong enough to earn that ball from Rudy.
    • Pad Thai was way too quick and elusive.. always slipping coverage and being open and using his golden arm to move his team down the field.
    • Crabgrass, even though he was harnessing his Mahomes from the Tampa Bay Super Bowl Loss and Eagles Super Bowl Loss, was able to do stuff that still had our defense confused and off balance. Picking his targets and using the scramble video game mode to find his footing to launch. Sometimes heroes bleed … Sometimes heroes live long enough to become the villain… Sometimes heroes need to start with “the man in the mirror, asking him to change his ways, no message could have been clearer, if you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change… It’s gonna feel real good, shamone!”

    Today was a beautiful day for a game made for boys where we as men showed up and relived our backyards heroics.

    COT: We still pray for OHES nurse.

    “In your name we play, Amen”

  • Ultimate Showdown at Timberwolf

    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.

  • 28-3 comeback Ultimate Football

    We do’s what we do’s when we do’s it right!

    11 brave souls met on the rainy gridiron football field to leave it all out there for the football gods. Some say this was the BOS game we needed… others needed the rain to hide the tears of defeat.

    6 v 5; First team (Warby, Crabgrass, Fandango, Matlock, Pad Thai, and Cookie) struck first with an EASY TD… like butter!

    Then, after crying, we sat 1 player so 5 v 5 was available. Second team (Rudy, Flyboy, Hei-Hei, Da Bear, & Festivus) proved their hearts by scoring on dink and dunk passes in the middle with a few throws down field. They began to make it rain TDs in the rain. Warby’s team was in trouble.

    Some Highlights:

    • Festivus, Fandango, and Da Bear all had key interceptions that helped their teams.
    • Flyboy & Rudy were dangerous behind the defense scoring TDs. Pad Thai was the counter to that and recieved some very beautiful passes with amazing catches like Lynn Swann.
    • Hei-Hei and Festivus were very elusive souls weaving this way and that sharing a bond on “hot potato” with the rock. Warby The Wizard was open just about every time to counter that magic spell.
    • Crabgrass, not the noodle arm as reports suggest, hit a few deep passes to Pad Thai.
    • Rudy was a machine through the whole game until the end where the machine breaks down and causes an ill-timed pass that was batted down, leading to a score that eventually led to the winning TD.
    • Matlock and Cookie were defensive magicians knocking down balls… and footballs.

    In the end, the good guys won 6-5 (kinda a precursor to the beginning of the game numbers of players) with a Fandango GAME WINNING TD CATCH reminding them of the 2025 BOS Champion!

    COT: Rudy’s charity was a success to help out kids.

    Great day out there to be alive and play like kids in the rain!

  • Bon Ultimate!

    We had 3v3 for the warmup, then 3v4 launching the first disc, then 4v5 within the first 5min, then an absolute BATTLE on the field of Bon Iron Elementary, with Destiny being swapped between teams whenever a team got a 2-point lead. But even with a man-down the winning team of Machismo, Dookie, Trojan, and Punky were an impossible combination to pin down. Final score was 9 to either 6 or 7 (🤷‍♂️). MVP goes to Destiny’s Child essentially playing offense the entire time and have the most epic sliding TD. Awesome time had by all, no injuries, and great convo over Machismo coffee after. Yours AYE! ~DTH

    COT:

    • Counterama # 9
    • Namerama
    • Announcerama (see Below)
    • BOM Circle of Thanksgiving

  • OWN IT BRO!!!!

    Sometimes…you just want to hear someone say it!!!

    Boys of summer never disappoints. Today we were 14 strong who came out to battle the wet field left behind from yesterday’s storms. According to the Apples, here’s what went down.

    LIST OF TRANSGRESSIONS:

    Yips:
    – Rudy had bad posture, got his weight on his toes, and his bad form caused a light tap to feel like a big push

    Patriot Games:
    – Questionable End zone size & placement. This took two scores off the board for Festivus
    – Erroneous out-of-bounds calls to throw off rhythm
    – Futon with some very aggressive defensive chest bumping
    – Switched the ball at kick-off to a slicker, oddly colored ball
    – Rubbing the ball in the wet grass, falling a step behind…
    – Fandango not making a football move before securing the catch
    – Wanting to change the rules of BEATDOWN Currency

    Luckily, fortune favors the bold and the Yips rose above it (just like Warby did in the back corner of the end zone) and came out victorious 9-6 (9-7?)

    Shoutouts:

    • Rudy had an early drop, the Yips did their battlecry and we could tell it was on like Donkey Kong from there!
    • Yips debuted a new uniform to the delight of many
    • Cookie had the best throw of the day!
    • Da Bear with a pick 6 – Freight train!
    • Boberry making plays all over the field
    • Duke needs to ice up his Nutzy tonight

    Biggest success of the day was hearing that Big Rig’s mom’s scans came back clear, praise the Lord!

    Next week – Basketball!

    Yips 2, Patriot Games 1

  • BOS – Ultimate Frisbee

    Timberwolf was jam packed today! According to the geese doing flyovers, here’s what went down.

    Made our way down to the field and set up cones, but with 22 HIMs we needed a bigger boat, so we widened just a tad. Patriot Games were eager to get going, but the Yips wanted to warm-up. YHC split teams up evenly 12-10. It may only be Flyboys second post in 2026, but he doesn’t miss a beat and we settled at 11-11.

    Both teams came out executing their playbook to perfection, moving the disc up and down the field with a few aggressive swings at that plate along the way. The first 20 minutes gave us a close 3-2 match.

    The YIPS started to get a groove, tightened up their defense, and took DTH’s advice to heart and stuck to the ground and pound short game. Hei Hei, Festivus, Cookie, OC, DK, Wildcat, Pad Thai, Trespass worked the middle like poetry in motion. Da Bear, Yoda and YHC worked the sidelines and played Legion of Boom-era defense.

    Patriot Games played better than the score would infer. Between the 20s they were moving, but in the red zone they couldn’t quite get a rhythm. Rudy pulled an Antonio Brown – had a great catch at NoToll and let it go to his head. He got paid and focused more on songs written about him and his bonus, forgetting what got him here in the first place. Snip has a 99% accuracy rating, but 1% of the time he throws it to Powhatan. Machismo dominated the middle of the field, and Fandango got more cardio in today than he has this year.

    YIPS victorious 8-3.

    Beatdown currency has been handed out, be sure to use it to your advantage! a $20 firecracker is making it’s way north…

    Good to see some NOS brothers join us today! All are welcome to come out next week for some Ultimate Football – same rules, different object.

    Good luck Trespass in your interview today.
