Hodags, huh?
Mike Gerics
guess.
Wisc has had two close games this year....and probably won't have that many
more, from the looks of their results at Stanford.
jeepers....
i recall seeing Stanford at Easterns several years ago...and saying the same
thing....'the race for second has begun'
many competitors....no competition.
it's over.
fun to be a Hodag i bet.........

UBC played Wisconsin in the semi's not quarters
H
went up several on them at Regionals (in pool play I believe) and
Stanford had to mount an incredible comeback. I don't recall the
final score but it was close. Then the finals Stanford had a pretty
tight game with Oregon winning 15-12 or 13 or something like that.
(Oregon went on to lose in the game to go to UCSC.)

ah, so they did. and... how was it, besides close?

good this year. Wisconsin and Florida still have yet to play. Same
with Georgia. Oh ya, and NC STATE! They're playing pretty damn well
right now as well. Wisconsin is clearly number one right now, but
don't hand them a trophy yet.

Nobody got within 7 of us at Easterns that year which is the tourney
Mike G saw.
However, we lost to Davis 15-12 at Stanford in a crossover game (and
were down 8-3 to Cal in quarters I believe) and at regionals, we were
down 11-6 to Humboldt before winning 14-12 and Oregon took half on us
8-7 before we won 15-11. So yeah, we had several close games that
year, just not at Easterns or Nationals.

UC Davis beat them Saturday at the Stanford Invite for their only loss
of the year. We met again in the finals and got crushed. Still fun to
play spoiler, though...

Wait, didn't they say the same thing about the Patriots all season
long? I'm picking the NY Giants to beat Wisconsin in the Finals.

new twist to an old question. how many days of training would it take
for the NY Giants (say there top 20 athletes) to be better than the
Hodags?
BrookDaves
Two weeks, as long as they know how to throw the disc. I could see
Laurence Tynes, main handler, ripping them to Plax and even Eli. The
game will trade a few points with the Giants getting a couple breaks
until Hohenstein lays out through Eli and Strahan catches it with his
gap.

That game was incredible. Both teams played tight offense. I believe
there were 3 breaks the entire game. UBC was on fire, nailing huck
after huck, moving the disc efficiently with their handlers, and
making a number of great heads-up grabs. LeDuc ran the downfield show,
repeatedly getting open at will regardless of who was on him, and
jacking it deep. I remember one huck where Shane was trailing his
(much smaller) guy by about a yard and LeDuc still put it. Perfect,
flat huck, no float, receiver caught it in stride. Anything else and
Shane would have had it. Ballsy play.
Both teams played their studs every point for the last 5-6 points. I
don't know all the UBC guys but LeDuc and some other familiar faces
never stepped off the line. The Hodags even brought Lokke and Foster
out to play D.
The details of the last point are a little hazy in my mind (getting
sloshed on the sidelines doesn't help), but it was epic. I recall
Muffin (trailing his guy as usual) making a huge layout D bid in the
back of the endzone, missing the disc by a few feet, but still putting
enough pressure on his man to cause the phantom D. Then he walks it
(more like struts it) up to the line, looks off an open guy while
gesturing downfield (to Shane?), and jacks the disc deep and just out
of bounds. At some point around here hard cap is blown.
UBC then worked the disc up to within 5 yards of the endzone and found
an open guy -- but the disc was misthrown and a hodag laid out for the
D. Wisconsin worked it back to Foster (I think) at about midfield.
This was maybe the 5th-6th turnover of the point. He sees Lokke
streaking deep, pretty well covered by UBC's chubby but capable
handler guy. Amidst shouts of "no! no! don't!" he jacks a flick. It
floats up. No one is close to Lokke and his man. Lokke (who had skied
the balls off of some poor UBC guy a few points earlier) goes up huge,
early, ... and just tips the disc with his fingers. He falls back down
to the ground, and so, luckily, does the disc, which he clap catches
while on the ground. Game over.
If UBC can play like that again, they will win the NW.

personally, I like Carleton's chances of knocking them off.

Perhaps the UPA should investigate whether Schlitz, super-chron,
government cheese and Muffin's hair product are performance enhancing.

yo really awesome write up but um.. just to clarify the last score..
"chubby handler guy" does not describe Dan woodsworth... ie
ultivillage cotd guy who jacked the 30 yd no float hammer a little
while back... and he did get a piece on that disc on the huck also and
had been dominant all day on similar attempts to huck to his man.
just to put another name to a face.. the guy muffin was covering and
almost burned by was mike aizawa, the game was literally decided by a
couple of cm, the difference between hitting mike in the palm of his
hand on the bid and what actually happened with the disc hitting him
on the tip of his fingers. Great bid by muffin also tho as without
that there would have been no reason for mike to bid also and easy
enough for him to run down.

The soft cap went off before the point so it was 13-13 game to 15.
There were no turns in the entire half until Feldman got a deep D
after their receiver tripped and fell, calling a late foul. Wisconsin
opted to send it back, rather than make the observers rule on the
play.
Muffin, who rarely ever trails his guy, hit the disc with several
fingers on the bid and originally thought about catching it before
deciding to D it. Muffin, who rarely ever struts on the field,
sprints back to the line and points deep to Shane for several seconds,
before jacking it deep.
Tim Pearce gets a layout D in the end zone, takes a sub for Rebholz,
and then the hard cap blows as Wisconsin has the disc. That means the
point had been going on for at least 10 minutes for the soft and hard
caps to blow. Muffin, who had already decided he was jacking the disc
to Lokke before the hard cap, changed his mind and went risk averse
with a swing on the newly made double-game point.

The chubby handler switched onto Shane moments before, not Lokke.
The sideline (Andrew) says in complete silence, "What the fuck? It's
Universe!" Andrew should have said, "Don't be a hero!"
This is the second tournament and game saving D in two straight
tournaments for Wisconsin, who will save Centex for the Hodags?

Boasting in third person doesn't make you a lesser doofus.

than half their roster? Is this right, or is the UPA roster wrong? Has
any other top team had this percentage / number of fifth year players
(I'm assuming the grads are in their last year, perhaps incorrectly)?

I was there, Douchebag. You missed the D. The O dude should have
kept running, it was an easy score to end the game. You are full of
yourself, idiot. That throw out of bounds was terrible, know your
limits; cut your hair.

Sweet, personal attacks, these are always worthwhile.
First, I'm not a D bag.
Second, I was there too and I did put a hand on it. My bid caused the
receiver to bid as well and drop the disc, so yeah... was your team
already eliminated? Is that why you have such a vivid memory of the
play?
I might enjoy causing controversy and hyping my incredibly perfect
deep throws, and I'm sure if you had long hair, people might know you
who are too... best to just let the haters hate.
I'm only guessing here, but UCSC = Travel.

HEY! i haven't said a word. jeez, way to attack someone personally. so

disillus...@gmail.com
personal interaction with you off the field, I'm sure your a decent
enough chap, you do however make some pretty ticky tacky calls and
seem to have a very high opinion of yourself, your attempted layout D
was a sick bid, I have no clue if you touched it or not, but if you
hadn't bid it would have surely been a goal, yes you do have a monster
flick, my favorite was during the finals when you jacked one out the
back of the endzone from the other end of the field, +95 yard flick,
impressive but not perfect since it was a TO. And we at ucsc have
absolutely nothing against long hair, most of our school is composed
of long haired hippies, the only way to standout at our school is to
have short hair, however the cornrows and sunglasses are pretty lame,
mostly the sunglasses, how are you supposed to make eye contact on
dumpsets? oh wait you probably have never dumped the disc due to your
incredible deep throwing ability. Can't argue against undefeated
though, I guess it works well enough to win. And we don't travel here
we just have a different conception of the term pivot.
See you at Centex

haha oh man Muffin what are you trying to do to me? I live in Santa
Cruz man. these guys can probably find out where I live. shit I bet
it's on my facebook and I bet I'm friends with a few. for my sake can
we try and avoid a new unfriendly rivalry? can someone drum up the N.
Texas one again? How about Kansas? nevermind those were never too
interesting. Oh wait ... Stanford. Aha, there's something everyone
can agree on. The 2002 Hodags consider it a personal favor every time
you beat them, and I'm pretty damn sure the Slugs enjoyed the 15-4
result as well. By the way, a public apology for not being at
Stanford supporting the squad... needless to say I owe you guys a ton
of beer. HL, AP
