Top Links

As per T-Dig's request, I've compiled a more comprehensive set of links which can be found on the right side of the page. The following is a list of my favorite link in each category, and why:

Favorite Ultimate Blog
This is a tough one, but I'll have to go with North Park's blog. It's perhaps not the best written or most informative blog, but I like it because of it's relevance to our team. The only other blog I'm aware of in the Central Plains is the Illinois blog which I also like, but the North Park guy (Luke Johnson) has him beat with a consistent flow of mid-tournament score updates, highlight videos, and in-depth tournament write-ups, although the NP blog could use a little more of a sense of humor. This is ultimate, after all. For a more complete list of ultimate blogs go here.

Favorite Ultimate Apparel Site
This would undoubtedly be Five Ultimate's Site if they put any work at all into keeping it up to date. I don't understand why they have so much great merchandise and such a primitive website. Given that Five's site sucks, Breakmark takes the cake in this category. They have by far the best selection of ultimate apparel on the net that I'm aware of and they have real images of their merchandise, which is something that VC and Under Armour are still struggling with...

Favorite Ultimate Resource
The Huddle has emerged in the last year or so as the premier ultimate news magazine, although they haven't gotten much competition. The closest is probably MSSUI which is a Cyle Van Auken creation which was run anonymously for about a year which I think speaks against its credibility. The Ultimate Handbook is also a nice little resource but I disagree with some of what they teach so, yeah.

Favorite Ultimate Video
Now this is tough. Unfortunately, there is no one site with every ultimate video ever made, but the next best thing is Ultivillage, which is a very well run and professional ultimate video site. They cover elite club ultimate for the most part, and sell DVDs of most of the National and World club competition in Open, Women's and Mixed.

Some others:
Michigan Nationals 06
Luke Johnson's Vimeo (NP/Rhino)
...and if none of those get you excited to play ultimate, this one's pretty good too

Writer's slump?

Dear reader(s),
It's been a while since my last post, and now that finals are over I'm back home and looking for something to do. Being that there are no tournaments or huckumentarys coming up, I'm somewhat stuck on what to write about. So, I open myself up for questions. What would you like to read about? Do you have strategical questions that you'd like answered? Would you like a guest article from someone else? If so, please provide a topic and a guest author. What else would you like to read about? Either contact me directly or post in the comments section underneath this post.
