Last night, Ballafornia went down to MUCUS in the Div2 semi final 14-10. Bit unfortunate, but life goes on. This season has probably been the most fun season I've ever played and I hope that most of my team mates agree.
However after three years of Albert Park winter season, BUUF is giving the 2008 winter season a miss. The team is going their own seperate ways for many reasons - spreading their wings a bit by joining other teams, work commitments, or simply having a break from ultimate for a few months.
The most prevalent reason though is a need to "look after our own backyard" for a while. We can't sit around and wait for some star North American or European pickups, or hope that for whatever reason some of the 08 Thunder/Terra crew choose to come to B-Town Uni. We need to take the folk that are turning up each Tuesday night for a throw and run around, and turn them into players.
Ideally this process would be starting tonight, but with a Nationals campaign in the forefront of the mind of our three gun players, it's not reasonable to expect them to throw themselves into the task of generating what is essentially a new team. So maybe we will have to stick with the pickup games for now and wait until May to really get things going.
