Huck Finn Schedule

Below is the email I received from Cultimate about our schedule for this weekend in it's entirety.

Huck Finn is the latest addition to Cu1timate's list of premier college ultimate tournaments. Top-ranked Florida will look to continue its winning ways, but bitter rivals Wisconsin and Georgia will stand in the way. Colorado has climbed back up the rankings after its win at Centex, and Notre Dame has had great success but will see a step up in competition.

All schedules were made to give the opportunity for teams to not only play, but also get a chance to spectate at some of the many exciting match-ups. Below is the schedule for the Showcase Fields. Long-time rivalries renewed. Top Callahan contenders squaring off. Big Ten rivalries played out on the Frisbee field. Huck Finn will play a pivotal role in the course of the season, separating the contenders from the pretenders, and provide one of the few opportunities to be both a player and a fan.

Rd 5 (3pm) Huck Finn Championship Game


The Format ::

The format for Huck Finn is designed to give the highest quality games of parity across the entire weekend. Each team is scheduled for six games over Saturday and Sunday’s first three rounds. Based on Overall record in those scheduled games, teams will advance to a seventh game (including The Championship Game, played in Sunday's 5th Round, 3:00pm). The seventh and final game (played in Sunday's 4th Round, 2:30pm) will pit teams of equal success from the weekend, for final placement at the tournament.

Tiebreakers are decided as follows:

1) Head-To-Head

2) Record Against Teams with Same Record (ie, if five teams are tied with one loss, the team with the best record against those five teams will advance to the Huck Finn Championship Game)

3) Overall Point Differential (In All Games Played)

While most teams are used to playing through Pool Play and into Bracket Play, this format heightens the meaning of every game. With appropriate spacing of these games throughout the weekend, teams have the opportunity to play at their peak performance. With many teams in the field positioning itself for a run at the UPA College Championships in Columbus, all of the games will be important for seeding in the Series.

The Championship Game is expected to produce a match-up of two undefeated teams. If more or fewer than two teams are undefeated at the end of the tournament, the tiebreaking procedures will be used to determine the two teams that advance. Beyond the Centex Championship Game, rematches will be avoided where possible.

Huck Finn Championship Game :: #1 vs. #2 :: Rd 5 :: 3:00pm

Cu1timate Team

Guest recap - EIU Tourney by T-Dig

ISU didn't send a team to EIU's first tournament this past weekend, but there were lots of us there playing on various pick-up teams. Trevor Scheibe wrote a recap of the weekend for us. Enjoy.

This past weekend a few of us Gnomes went to EIU to play a little ultimate (quite a little). I could post a full roster of who went, but for simalr results throw darts at a board full of rookies. Anywho, after waking up way too early for a Saturday, we arrived in a rainy Charleston around 9. And here goes the day from my perspective....

Game 1: EIU X/Y
I missed the first point of this game while on a 15 minute search for a potty that wasn't portable, but we came out pretty sluggish to a split Reaper squad. After being up 2-1, we let Reaper start coming down with every floaty disc put up. We got outhustled and outplayed to see the half slip away at 4-7. Crack and Colleen did their best to fire up the team (I'll admit to being a poor captain the first game) at half. It was upsetting to be down to a split team without James and Sasquatch (insert joke or Jack Link's commercial here), but this proves that EIU is on their way up in the ultimate community. We came out into the second half more aggressive, but time was not on our side. Final score was somewhere around 6-10 if I'm not mistaken.

Game 2: WUT?
After some gratuitious cuddling on the sidelines, ISU was ready for the second game vs. Wartburg. This team wasn't quite what we thought them to be (I later found out that they were in their first year), but they had a lot of heart. With the rain and wind picking up, play got a little sloppy. Dropped discs on both sides were a plague, and I know backwards hat guy was pissed about his slippery forehands. Still, after a half full of swilly throws and nice bids, ISU took half at 7-3. I expressed my concern about our lack of flow on the field and urged us to make better decisions with the disc. My fellow Gnomies listened and we were able to move the disc more effectively in the second half. With some excessive poaching on behalf of Crack and a successful double tabletopping of Liz and Sam on the sidelines, ISU took the game at 11-5 (or something like that). This team was fun and friendly and I hope to see them again. Side Note: My "What What in the butt?" (insert link here) count was probably somewhere near one hundred by the end of the game.

Game 3: Browning Superstars
After dismissing Cole from the fields for attrocious spirit (he wouldn't hug me), the light rain that had been falling all day got even heavier as the wind picked up some more. The Browning Superstars are your typical old balls team with many familiar faces and some new ones (traitors like Baby Herr and Jill), so we knew they would be well rounded and probably the best team we would see. After a shotgun start and Charles drinking his 2 half finished Mad Dogs, the rain proved to be a little too much for us. The old balls cup forced turns left and right and they continued to score off the turns. Half found us down 0-7. I could not let this stand. After coming to a decision to forfeit the last game with everyone's health in mind, I stressed the importance of making the last few points of the day the most important. Again, the team listened. We came out with amazing ferocity and hustle (not to mention a savage line) for the last half, and while the score may not show it, I think this was our best ultimate of the day. Letting Favre, Table and Crack handle, we were able to get the disc moving upfield for our first score of the game after an 8 ft. slide by Crack. Although we lost 1-13, I was pleased at the determination the young Gnomies showed.

Weekend notes:
-After seeing Liz and Sam cut and Colleen and Michelle handle, I'm excited about the future of the Lady Gnomes.
-It was nice having Doc around again, he provided some sneaky big plays on the rail.
-Great efforts all around for the guys, lots of bids and hard cuts all day.
-Charles can't sandwich a disc, we'll just have to accept it.
-Don't punch brick walls, you could break your hand.
-Colleen claims to have won the party, I have heard no proof.
-If you haven't seen Crack in his tighty whities, pray you keep it that way.

A break from posting

I'm sorry to say that I'll be taking a break from posting to the blog for a few weeks. I recently (Saturday) broke my elbow on a layout D at Chicago invite. It is now in a splint and a sling which makes typing rather difficult. I welcome and encourage any of the ISU players who are interested to write a review of what happened this past weekend, but I don't have the time it would take me to type out a review with one hand. Sorry, and hopefully you'll hear from me in a few weeks.

Chicago Invite Preview - ISU Women

I asked Emily to write up a preview for the Lady Gnomes for this weekend. Here it is, enjoy.
[Women's Score Reporter Link]

Every season seems to be a rebuilding season for the Lady Gnomes, fortunately, going into Chicago Invite we have more returning players than ever before. We have been ranked 7th overall in the women's division and are competing in a power pool with Illinois (1), Loyola (4), North Park (6), and Wisconsin B (10).

Game 1: Illinois
This will undoubtedly be our toughest game of the day. Illinois is a very solid team with experienced handlers and quick cutters. They continually rank in the UPA top 50. This is not something we should be intimidated by. All we need to do is beat them at their own game. Smart throws are going to be key in this game because Illinois knows how to capitalize on mistakes...if they don't their coach will take them out back and shoot them. Everyone should be looking forward to this game because it's rare that we get to compete against their level of play and there's a lot we can take away from this experience.

Game 2: Loyola
We have played Loyola twice as long as I've been on the team and both outcomes were very similar. The match was a close one which resulted in Loyola winning. I don't know why, but it seems that we are constantly telling ourselves that we've lost before the game has even begun. Heads up Gnomes! We can ABSOLUTELY beat this team! I believe our handlers are stronger and if we can force a lot of turnovers we could run away with a victory. Defense, defense, DEFENSE! Also, we like Loyola and this is bound to be a fun game!

Game 3: Wisconsin B
Don't be fooled by the "B". Wisconsin is one of the best teams in the nation, meaning that they're B team (atropha) is one of the best B teams in the nation. They are bound to have fairly experienced handlers, as well as a lot of newer players. We're going to have to go into this game with confidence if we want to come out on top.

Game 4: NORTH PARK

In the past couple years North Park has developed into a solid program. Every year our matches with them are very close (not counting last semester's game at Western...grr). If there are two words that can describe North park's offense they would be...red head. This chick is very fast and plays a very smart give and go game. Speedy players get ready to mark her. If we can shut her down their game will take on a completely different dynamic. I also want to try throwing a cup on them because they always seem to freak out when we do that. GET EXCITED!

Saturday's schdule will definitely be tough, but if we come to the fields with confidence, get a good warmup in and listen to "Bounce That" over and over on the way there...we could definitely make a good showing.

Chicago Invite Preview - ISU Open

I've been holding off on a CI preview because the seeds were changing daily, but I think they're pretty much finalized now and if they change any more, I probably won't write another post. Currently ISU is seeded 2nd in pool G which and due to the outrageous number of teams attending this tournament, we'll need to secure either 1st or 2nd in our pool Saturday in order to advance to the Championship bracket Sunday morning. Our pool is, in order of seed:

-Western Michigan
-Illinois State
-Toledo
-Michigan B
-Rose Hulman
-Niles North (Team ILL)

I'll give a quick preview of how I think each of our pool play games should go first.

Game 1 vs Toledo: I don't know much of anything about this team except their seed at Chicago Invite. Because of this I'm glad that we get to play them first with fresh legs underneath us since that is our team's biggest strength - the ability to outrun our opponents. Be ready for a fight, but I'm sure that if we keep our intensity up and play our game we should escape the first round unharmed.

Game 2 vs Michigan-B: Again, we should never look past our opponents, especially teams from schools with a reputation for ultimate excellence like Michigan. Expect to see some rookies probably with a lot of speed and heart mixed with a few experienced players with solid throws and field sense. If we come out hard and playing our game, this game should be won without too much trouble

Game 3 vs Niles North: Niles North (Team ILL) is a high school team that our Y team played at Glory Days last fall. They were a cool group of guys from what I heard, but shouldn't be too much for us to handle. Kudos to them for playing in college tournaments as a high school team. I'm sure they've all got great ultimate careers ahead of them.

Game 4 vs Rose-Hulman: We played RHIT last year at Sectionals after our loss to Loyola. We were all a bit dejected after being knocked out of the 10th place bracket by a team named after a duck cartoon, but we found the drive to step up and play well in the second half and I believe that the score was somewhere around 13-9. Last year they were a decent team led by a core of 2-3 solid handlers with good field vision. Expect to see a similar team this weekend. Their downfield cutters weren't particularly strong so if the D line can shut down the handler motion, this game should go our way as well. RHIT was a also a very cool group of guys, and I wish them the best of luck this weekend before 2pm and after 4pm.

Game 5 vs Western Michigan: Assuming Western Michigan is able to hold their seed until the last game of the day, this very well could be the game to decide the winner of the pool. Again I don't know much about Western Michigan but I'm sure Luke gave them a top seed for a reason. Hopefully Shane and Josh's workouts this winter have done their job and we'll still have our legs beneath us in this game. I'm sure we will. The biggest challenge here will be keeping our heads and trusting each other in what will most likely be our biggest game of the semester, and our first big game as a team. If we do that all day Saturday, this pool is ours.

With those out of the way I'd like to point out the importance of taking pool G Saturday. 1st or 2nd gets us into the championship bracket, but 2nd almost definitely pits us against North Park in the 1st game Sunday. While this is a winnable game, it will be hard fought and given that we'll have 4 rounds to play on Sunday to get the cup, any way possible to make our road a little easier should be welcomed. If we take our pool Saturday we'll get to play the 2nd place finisher in Pool B, which looks like it could probably be EMU, Lewis, or Gustavus. I think they're all around the same level, but NP is definitely a step above all of the Pool B teams and should take the B pool fairly easily. After the 1st round of bracket play Sunday, the games should all be of similar difficulty, so remember to bring your 5 hours and icy hot. Good luck to all the teams going this weekend, it should be a great time.

High Tide Recap

The last car of Gnomes rolled into Normal, IL around 11pm on Saturday, tired from a long week of ultimate, laying out on the beach and partying with 40 other ultimate teams. Overall the week was a smashing success. The only things that really went wrong almost all involved sunburns.

The Gnomes tied for 3rd in the mixed division, but it wasn't really about the games we won/lost. I believe that I speak for most of us when I say that I'd be just as happy with last place as long as we still had fun. It would take me hours to write up everything that happened this weekend, so here's a bulleted list of the highlights as I saw them. Feel free to add your memories in the comments section:

-The Toy Box finds a giant 'Big John' statue in Metropolis, IL. Minutes later they stumble upon a slightly smaller 'Giant Superman Statue'
-Toy Box discovers that Nashville is roughly 8924592659 times hotter than Hotlanta. Cowboy hat!
-Chris has a magic trash can
-The Gnomes enjoy the Georgia Sea Turtle museum, consider adopting a team turtle
-Amy finds a sand dollar!
-Euchre is resurrected with the new Gnomes. Did Goober ever learn how to play?
-Padula makes friends with Marquette!
-The power goes out on our block, and a midnight beach party commences.
-About 30 seconds before the power goes out Trevor, Willy and Ryan attempt to "shotgun a beer from beers" with the help of an unknown ultimate player who helps us keep our balance during the blackout
-Pete keeps it positive! (and the ladies go wild)

-Eric takes us out to a nice seafood dinner and NEVER CALLS US AGAIN!
-Balloon tips, buzz tips, strippy buzz tips in the middle
-We all met Brenton Hard, the guy who laid out for a disc in the endzone at Hucktoberfest '07, broke his arm, and held onto the disc. We gave him a Gnomes disc at that tournament, and it only took him about a half hour to realize that he was playing flippy cup in our house.
-Smashica sneaks out for a few hours. "Who am I? I'm drinking natty light!"
-Afryl Lavigne shows up to hangout on the beach with us
-The male Gnomes realize that growing mustaches is harder than it looks
-Emily turns 21, multiple Gnomes rock the live band heavy metal karoake at some bar on some other island. Emily orders a drink with eye medicine in it
-The clown nose makes its rounds

I'm sure I missed a lot, but that's what happens when you drink rum. Chicago Invite preview coming soon. Later taters.

High Tide (kind of a preview)

The Gnomes (or at least some of them) are leaving this weekend for a spring break tournament in Jekyll Island, GA. I'd write a long, detailed tourney preview but it's not really about the games. We're going to have fun and if we win some games along the way, that would be nice. I'll write something up when we get back which will probably be full of good stuff but for now here's a list of who's going, and their favorite animal:

Goober - Monkey
Peteo - Bear mixed with Monkey
ROOKIE - Regular Bear
Stuart Huizengar - German Shepherd
Reynolds - Shane
Basia - Animated Penguins
Emblebee - White and Black Striped Horses
Padula - All of Them
Vicius - Rhinoceros!
Hollywood - Dog
Shane - Toytle
Amy K - Salamanders
William Joel - Yoda
T-Dig - Giraffes
Brett Favre - Sprite
Cole Lucas - Owl
Samantha - Pterodactyl
Michelle - Teddy Bear
Smashica - SOSOs (Sea Otter Shaped Objects)
Rachel - Crabs
Colleen - Koala
Ashley Betke - Monkeys (because they get rid of the bananas)
Me - LionSharks, duh (also cows and cheetahs)

p.s. I'm leaving early with a few others and stopping in Nashvegas and Hotlanta. Can't wait for all the stories that are bound to come out of this trip. Have a great break everybody, even if you're not going on the best trip ever with us.

ISU Ultimate History

Attention alumni (who probably don't know this blog exists), current players, and people who quit the team because we started wearing shoes. I need your help! I'm attempting to compile a brief history of ISU Ultimate. I'll be doing it in a timeline format because I have neither the time nor motivation right now to do it any other way. So please send me whatever info you have about ISU Ultimate that you think is valuable, and the time it happened (please be as precise as possible. An actual date is preferred to "the day after me and dave drank that stolen 190-proof whiskey that chuck brought with him"). Here are some example of what I'm looking for, although feel free to send whatever you feel is relevent or funny:

-Old rosters
-Old pics
-First tournament we attended ever
-Any notable scores that you remember
-Any notable on-field wins that you remember
-Any notable off-field wins that you remember (i.e. party wins, naked lapping SIU)
-Our founder
-Our re-founder in the late 90s
-A past list of captains, and when they were captains
-Any tournaments we've won, or come close to winning
-Other major accomplishments of the club (Voting for officers, hosting a tournament, etc.)

Feel free to leave the info in the comments section or email it to the team account which is isuultimate at hotmail dot com. I hope this turns out well, I'll keep you updated on my progress. Also feel free to let me know if you're interested in helping.
