Luscious N. Delicious for Callahan

[Larry Eustachy]

Yes folks, that's his real name.

I've had the pleasure of playing with this guy for quite a while.
He's worked on every facet of his game and has greatly improved every
year. On the defensive side, Luscious uses his excellent instincts,
hops and speed to create turnovers. On offense he can get open
against anyone and has a penchant for demonstrating the teabag.

After a stint on the DL for most of the year, Luscious is back and
ready for the "real season".

Accomplishments:

- While in France this summer Luscious played in a competitive
tournament while running a clinic for the Europeans on layout Ds. He
won the Tournament MVP and was rewarded with a weird ass 101
Dalmatians fur cover sewn around a disc. Any of the other candidates
have this? I think not.

- His name is Luscious N. Delicious.

- Had about 7 D's with his mark alone in victories against NC State
and Colorado at Collegiates this year.

- He has perfected the correct proportions of Kool-Aid, Sugar,
Tequila, Triple Sec, Vodka, Rum, and love for the finest Jungle Juice
in all the land.

- In 1999 he took over a co-ed team that didn't consider ultimate a
priority and molded them into a team with a commitment to winning.
Luscious has organized, recruited and willed Michigan State to where
they currently are.
Ranking in 1999: unranked
Ranking in 2000: 135
Ranking in 2003: 15

Thank you for your time.

I've never met Luscious, but I gotta say that when I was at MSU in the
spring of '98, the college team was basically a bunch of guys and girls
who got together at pickup and said, "Let's go to Sectionals. Maybe we
can beat U of M. Ha, ha." Not to say that there weren't good players,
and everyone played hard, but it was not really a serious team. Ever
since I graduated, I kept hearing about this Luscious guy, back when I was
still on the team e-mail list, and then on RSD. All of a sudden the team
was having real practices, and going to real tournaments. Now they're
winning sectionals, and hopefully going to nationals! Although I'm sure
there are a lot of people who worked hard to make that happen, I'm equally
sure that Luscious played a big role in bringing the team out of the
backwaters of East Lansing and onto the national stage. You should
definitely consider him for one of your votes.

Way to go, MSU, and good luck at regionals!

P.S. good luck to the women's team, too!

first off.. how'd you get it televised? I'm impressed. The commentating
needs some work, but ultimate really looks good in press box view. really
gives you a vision as to what pro-ultimate could be like.

second of all, after watching those clips, I now think letting players make
their own calls isn't such an impediment to the growth of the sport at all
(in terms national acceptance). It's just another facet, a unique one. If
you watch the other clip there, the one that advertises itself as the
"example of the rules in action", there's a foul called, and, just like in
other sports, a little yellow foul thing goes up on the upper left corner,
then the guys hash it out. It could give the broadcaster a chance to replay
the play, if it's a long 'conversation', and the game moves on. The cameras
would almost be a presence of accountability. It's really not that
different than if a ref calls something, like in football....except it's the
players..

just a thought.

and it was slightly disappointing to hear he changed his own name. those
would've been some fuckin cool parents.

Juding by the website, they hired the people at Rogers Television. I
think they're a Canadian broadcasting company that rents out television
equipment. I'm not really sure about the announcers, but they must be
Ultimate players.

And I agree, judging by the couple of minutes of footage that is on the
site, they did a helluva job. I'd pay to see coverage like that for
top-level tournaments.

so who is going to write Joel Silver, (aka: co-inventor of ulty, big
time movie guy) a letter and get him to make some huge tax-deductable
contribution to this thing?

..maybe fund the pro league while he's at it?

Joel Silver is a hirsute hollywood vulgarian who wouldn't spit on
ultimate if it was on fire. Just the facts.

[Mike]

Actually, Joel Silver still likes to take credit for "inventing" the
game of Ultimate. In Willie Herndon's documentary "Spirit of the
Game," Willie interviewed Silver about the origins of Ultimate. While
the big man didn't actually admit that he started Ultimate as an
ironic anti-sport with no refs and few rules to spite the jocks at
Columbia High School, he did take credit for being the brainchild of
what Ultimate has become today.

I think he's still a potential investor in the sport at some level, as
long as you appeal to his ego and inflated sense of self-importance
;-)

I've heard different, though its all rumors. I've heard that Silver
was proud that ultimate has grown.
