New AO: Ultimate Frisbee at Ting: U.F.O. (25 PAX)

FNGs:  none
Warm Up:  Grateful for Yogurt leading us with SSH, Frankensteins, etc

Mary:  static stretches OYO
Announcements:

PAX in attendance helped Gump and YHC name this AO;  we offered up three choices with an honorable mention:

Choices:  Paradise Lost, Paradise Gained, U.F.O. & Elenor Frisbee (although a nice recommendation from the crowd – Vicious Discus).   Not sure if the PAX were thrilled with our top 4.  Regardless, U.F.O. was a near unanimous vote.  Questions asked what it stood for? – – – so many recommendations & examples from the PAX – some not permitted in this PG space.

Going forward, each Q will determine the abbreviation.  Let’s have some FUN with it.

Tues nights with 3 Alarm – come out and support another new official AO (great work Wild Turkey, Yogurt, Moose…).
Tea Time tonight

Change of Command:  Nantan – Thank you Pikachu!  Welcome Breach!

 

Q-School next Sunday at 1400.  See Banana Seat.

Ultimate 10 vs. 10

20 Men Showed Up for an Ultimate Show Down

FNGs: Sonny, now F3 Flicker, named for his awesome left-handed forehand throw, which is also known as a flick. Member of the RESPECT club at 57? Brought his own cooler, discs, and work clothes. :). Other new F3 faces to SouthWake: Sketch, MIA, Doogie
Warm Up: 25 SSH while Dauber ran and got the “pennies,” GMs x 10. Many had arrived in time to throw a few. I knew everybody was ready to play, so we got started. Disclaimer to our FNG Sonny. A few quick rules/procedures. If there’s a turnover in the end zone, you can walk it up to the goal line. Also, when “kicking off,” move up so that your clears mid-field.
The Workout: Ultimate for 35 minutes with exercises on the turnovers: SSHs, jump squats, squats, merkins. Plus, exercises upon scoring: burpees, WWIIs, merkins, and more. Final 10 minutes with no exercises except after scoring. We never really keep an official score, but it helps gauge the match. This morning, the “pennies” jumped on the scoreboard with two or three unanswered trips to the end zone. The “skins” finally settled down, shortened our throws, and got on the scoreboard. Again, unofficially, we had several ties and lead changes. Looks like my completely random passout of the pennies led to equal teams! This was fun!

Tons of great plays out there by all. Too many to remember. Lots of “jump balls” for high throws just about anywhere. Quiver tracked down a floater that looked like it was way beyond his reach. Banana Seat made some great catches but claims he can’t throw. Sonny posted in the middle and was the field marshal for the skins. He could pretty much place the disc anywhere he wanted, with a razor sharp forehand. Blue Hen and Fram knocked down multiple discs on defense. I could not shake Bobby Dall and Warbucks, who stuck to me like white on rice. Dauber had and excellent throw right down the middle to the end zone for the score. Shredder worked the edges and Mr. T worked the middle. And of course, Cupid and Roaming Gnome worked the end zone for their respective teams. Maybelline always lurking on defense, ready to knock one down. Kubota making solid throws in the middle. Great to have Sketch, MIA, Doogie join us–solid players who will join us the first Monday in 2022. Again, many good plays. Maybe we should get the TOHS footage! Meant to get a group photo, but many posted for second F at Panera, so I got one there.

Mary: No time for Mary, this was all game time.
Announcements: CSAUP The Judge this Saturday, December 11, 2021, starting at Fleming Loop Park. Also, Shop With A Cop is live on Slack. Make a donation. Kids within the local community in need will be paired with officers from the Holly Springs Police Department to go shopping for holiday presents for their families and themselves.
T-Claps (Recognition): Thanks to Dauber for sharing the Q. Especially after his pre- pre- pre-blast. I know he was feeling it, ready to play!
Prayers: Unspoken. Fram gathered in the spirit and took us out with a nice prayer.

As promised a never done before F3 workout Indoors! Basketball full Court!!

Warm Up: Moseyed to indoor Basketball gym.

Stood on Baseline for the Pledge of All Allegiance

Workout: We had exactly 20 so we divided up into 4 groups and played 2 separate games of full court 5 on 5. We rotated after halfway. I don’t think our ball skills were very sharp in the beginning. Most of the PAX got better as time progressed except for Guatemalan. He pretty much stood in the same place every time and asked for the ball.

I know sometimes we do a lot of the same things every week. Thought this would be fun to mix it up a bit. Those that shined like @pumps because he has skills and @Fram the rest made up for it in fouls and large bodies pushing and shoving. Thank God we did not call fouls today. I would have fouled out before the second game…BTW I am pretty sure my Team won both games @bobby bouche @deadbolt @mookie @maddog. Next time we play @banannaseat will be on a 3-man team due to his speed!

 

Mary: No Time

T Claps: Bosshog and the new addition to the Family! Congratulations

Prayers: Thanks for the prayer support for my Mom. Our Country, Injured PAX, 3rd cousin who took a dive OTW back. Hope he is okay!

I showed up early to prerun, hoping to get back where I was running-wise and weight-wise back in March. Maybe that was a bad idea, NotB was rough.
Mumble chatter was a little more mellow this week, no wife swapping jokes(?) this time. It was good to recognize some guys from last week.
