Senior Salute 2010

This season Ghetto is sending 6 players to the world; Evan Corcoran, Eric Krissek, Geoff Holmes, Travis Knight; Brendan Corboy; and Kevin Galli.

Evan Corcoran, "Captian Corc," "Corc-Juice," Papa-Corc," "Baby-Faced-Corc," "The Pittsburgh-Kid," is a 5 year member of the University of Dayton Men's Ultimate team. Evan captained the team his Sophomore, Junior, and Senior year. Evan lead the team through a period of exponential growth, going from last in the section in the spring of 2006 to 5th over the course of one year. Recognizing that ghetto was a team often short in stature, Corc-Juice introduced the idea of “owning the in-cut,” which as it turned out was quite effective in Ohio’s windy environment. Evan has played with numerous club teams including FORGE, who nearly made nationals this past Club season. Alien abductors have asked him, to probe them. If he were to give you directions you would never get lost; And, you'd arrive at least 5 minutes early. His legend proceeds him, the way lightning proceeds thunder. To quote Captian Corc “don’t cut like a bitch, cut like a man!”Evan graduated in May with an undergrad degree in accounting and an MBA.

Eric Krissek, "The K-State-Killer," "K-State," "K," "The Kansas State Kid," "The Wildcat," "The Purple People Eater," "The D1 Athlete"... K-State is a career ultimate player at UD, but our favorite story to tell is how he got here. K had two choices; either take a division 1 scholarship to play soccer at college, or move to Dayton Ohio to play ultimate. As you know the choice was clear. The Killer turned down his soccer scholarship to play ultimate. In reality, the K-State-Killer turned down his soccer scholarship to become a Berry Scholar, and thankfully devote his free time to ultimate. Many a full moon if you turn your ear to the west you'll hear the Wildcat let loose his growl ... "Leeets GO GHEEEETTOOOOOO!" If you meet the Purple People Eater in the wild remember to never make him angry, anger only intensifies his skills. But seriously, this guy probably has the biggest heart in the force.


Geoff Holmes, "The Werewolf," The Gurnter, "El Grunto," "uuhhhhhh," "Beldar Conehead,"The Runner," "Sherlock Holmes," "nayack,"or simply "Homesy." Jeff played several years with Ghetto Force and improved substantially over his career, finishing senior year as a trusted player. Holmes is known for his willingness to bid for any disc and received most of his nicknames for the sound he produces while bidding, jumping, or doing just about anything on the field. He produces a grunt much like a tennis player (which he used to be) when expelling energy. The grunts resemble those of the Coneheads of SNL fame. El Grunto runs marathons in his spare time and has never been sore in his life. Bledar has never made a negative comment in his life, is always quick with a smile, and always reminds me of Disney World.


"Travis Knight," "T," "Mr. T," "Cookie Monster," "Hardest Working Man in Show-business," "Tizzle,"T-Dizzle," "T-Dawg Knight," "Yellow Cleats," or just plain old Travis. Travis truly was the hardest working man in show-business. T was never injured, probably never missed a tourney, and never resisted playing every point in the cup. Not only was Mr. T a workhorse but he's also the nicest guy in the world- he would walk 500 miles and he would walk 500 more... when he’s working yes you know he’s gonna be, he’s gonna be the man who's working hard for you! T doesn't think he can handle, but he can... as seen at regionals this year. He’s been called the "cookie monster" because we have yet to see him eat anything but cookies and candy. Mr. T's personality is so magnetic, he is unable to carry credit cards. Even his enemy's list him as their emergency contact. Tizzle never says anything tastes like chicken, not even chicken. Travis graduated with degrees in accounting and finance and will graduate with an MBA in August. T is so money and he doesn't even know it. He like a big bear with big bear claws and fangs but he just doesn't know how to kill the bunny.

Brendan Corboy, "Corbizzle,” “C-Bizzle,” “Coach Ditka,” “Bren-dawg,” “Cor-MAN,” or just Corboy, is without a doubt the epitome of all that is man. Whether sporting a Hollywood Hogan blonde mustache or facial hair fit for a highway patrolman (see right), Brendan was a Ghetto leader both on and off the field for 5 seasons. A layout D machine as well as a supreme handler, Corboy rarely missed a tourntament and was quite a Force to be reckoned with. Bringing a variety of new offensive sets to Ghetto, Corbizzle just might have been the first to utter the phrase, “Run the wrap!” in the Great Lakes region. Bren-dawg was quite the enforcer on the field, causing turntover after turntover with his punishing defensive presence, leaving behind a trail of demoralized and defeated opponents even greater than that of the mighty Aragorn. When not using his intergalactic ultimate skills to hit guys with no-look scoobers, he often enjoys moose-watching while shooping down the ski slopes of Wyoming. Brendan graduated in May with an undergrad degree in accounting and economics and an MBA, so suck it nerds!

Kevin Galli, "Galli," "Galli-son," "The Galli-nator," "Pep-band Nerd," "The 5th Year Rookie," "Mr. Motorcycle." Galli's first year of playing organized ultimate was also his 5th year in college. One day we saw him tossing around a discgolf disc and suggested he join the ultimate team. A couple days later Galli was on the squad. It turns out that Galli-son is a fast learner. He always expected more out of himself, conditioning, practicing, and playing hard. If every player had Galli's devotion the team would be much better off. When Galli wasn't practicing, conditioning, and playing he was an enginerd and a senior member of UD's Pepband. the Pepband plays at every home basketball game and travels with the team for important events, such as the A10 tourney, NCAA tourney, or NIT tourney. He's a lover, not a fighter, but hes also a fighter...so don't get any ideas.
