Pre-Series College Season

Ghetto traveled to three tournaments prior to the College Series including Music City Tune Up IV, the Chicago Invite, and Boogie Nights 2010. The 2010 college season turned out to be a major transition of players as 7 eligible veteran players quit the team.

The season started off with a tournament called the Music City Tune Up IV, in Nashville Tennessee. Games were held on 9 fields at Vanderbilt University, two of which were the nicest turf fields ghetto has ever seen. Ghetto packed up the cars in two feet of snow Friday afternoon, and arrived in Nashville to find temperatures in the mid sixties. Ghetto's season began a little shaky trying to determine how best to fill different positions.

Ghetto Sent a skeleton crew of 10 players to the Chicago Invite 2010, its second tournament, due to a large number of schedule conflicts. The weather was atrocious with temperatures in the mid 30 and a combination of snow, hail, rain, and gal-force winds. Almost every point at the tournament was scored in the downwind end-zone and there was visible differences in field conditions between the downwind and upwind half of the field. Ghetto performed admirably with its skeleton crew, completing fiercely. The team lost two games on university point, and the third at a two point margin. Day two of the tournament was canceled due to weather conditions and unplayable fields.

Ghetto Force's third tournament was Boogie Nights, in Miami Ohio. Conditions were perfect, conditions are perfect, its business time. We got our business socks on and its business time. Alen "Butters" Smith RELEASED THE KRAKEN all over Oxford Ohio! Ghetto rolled through every team on saturday, finally finding its grove. Ghetto beat Olivet Nazarene in quarters, Miami Ohio in the semi-finals, and lost to Miami Ohio Alumni in the final 11-13.
