G-H-E-DOUBLE P-O

Twas the night before workouts, and all through the ghetto, not a player was having fun, not even Pat Bello. The running shoes were nestled and ready to be worn, dreams of sprints and burpee squares left the players forlorn. With Peaches and Ross, shining bigger and brighter, have begun their regime as the new blog writers.

Hello all,

First of all, let us introduce ourselves. Patrick "Peaches" Kaufmann and Ross "the Hoss" Gueltzow are your new blog writers for the spring season. We would like you to know just how privileged your eyes are about to become. We have traveled far and wide studying blogging techniques in the Orient and in Turkey. We have decided to bring our talents back to South Dayton for your reading pleasure. We are honored to have been chosen for this prestigious position and will treat it with the utmost respect and diligence. We know the gravity of our words. 

Without any further jargon, we will commence to the discussions of the UD MEN'S CLUB ULTIMATE FRISBEE TEAM.

 
Our Fall season, as you steadfast readers may know, ended with a cliff-hanger. Our last tournament of the season was Glory Days in Lowell, IN. Split into X and Y squads, the teams were split were somewhat evenly. Captain Phil "Kim Jong-Phil" Brodrick led Dayton Y, a group primarily composed of rookies, through a tough day of "learning experiences." Dayton X, led by seniors Zach "Co-President of Student Beard Board" Kaylor and Alex "Student Beard Board Traitor" Frasz. Dayton X played well, with victories of Indiana X, Northwestern Y, Southern Illinois A and Illinois-Chicago.

After Glory Days, the members of the Ghetto Force invited their beautiful families to Dayton for UD's annual Parent Weekend. With the completion of Stuart Field's improvements, the team was able to show their parents how athletic and cool they were on some killer astro-turf. The Ghetto Force took part in an inter-team scrimmage as well as taking on the Get-Old Force, the Ghetto Force's alumni team. The Get-Old Force fell. However, fun was had by all involved and culminated in a pasta feast fit for royalty.

The Ghetto Force delegates were then able to take a brief respite and get loads of presents which is awesome.

Upon our return, we were greeted by two fine new leaders of the Ghetto Force. As President-elect Adam "nonickname" Tardio and Captain-elect Mark "Mark" Fedorenko prepare to phase into responsibilities given to them by their makers (Alan "Butters" Smith and Phil "O Captain, My Captain" Brodrick), their subordinates patiently wait instructions. 

As we begin the spring semester workouts, look forward to more updates concerning the team. We will sweat, we will cry, and we will win. 

Faith, Love, and Ghetto Force Ultimate,
Patrick "Peaches" Kaufmann and Ross "the Hoss" Gueltzow

P.S. - Ross messed up the G-H-E-DOUBLE T-O cheer many moons ago. What he said is in the title.
