FINALS
After 2 days of hard fought ultimate, we reached the finals pitting Florida UFUCT vs. the Hodags of Wisconsin-Madison. It was hyped up to be a good game with a lot of big plays and great all around Ultimate. However; things changed as the game went on.
I guess Florida forgot to show up. During the game however, it was ridiculously windy and we saw the teams adjusting to the wind during warmups. However, as the game wore on, hucks were no longer good throws as the wind would snatch them up so we saw a lot of short game and zone... which turned out to be pretty boring.
In the end, Florida had some huge key drops and the game turned out to be a blowout with Wisconsin taking the championship 15-9, capitalizing on a Florida drop on their own end line. Highlights included the crowd boo-ing muffin of Wisco everytime he touched the disc, and the sheer amount of calls that were made (travels, picks, fouls, etc.)
Steve and I drove back to the airport after watching UBC go on a 10-1 run against UCSB in the Women's final to take the Women's championship 15-9 (after being down 5-8). Ridiculous
Anyhoo, here are some pictures and a sweet Video that I just uploaded from Pool play.
CBS College Sports (used to be CSTV) was there to cover the action
