For many of us Regionals was the worst tournament we've ever played in in our lives.  Not because of how we played, but because of the playing conditions.  Sideways rain, 30-40mph winds and freezing temperatures were not ideal.  Luckily this was only Saturday, but it was still horible.  We crush the first two teams 15-1 and 15-6.  Next we play the cheaters known as Furious for the top seed in the pool.  Wind picks up to about 40mph in an upwind downwind game.  We cannot throw upwind for more than 20 yards.  Furious can throw about 40 yards and has the advantage of having a guy like Mike Grant receiving on the other end.  They score upwind, we don't, and lose 10-15.  Nobody on either team enjoyed this game.  Last game is prequarters game against Invictus, and we win 15-4.  Only about half our guys play this game because the other guys are huddled together too cold to go in.

We unthaw at the hotel's hot tub with some womens team, and then hit up Red Robin for endless fries and freckled kurt uhler's.  Next morning we face Jam in Quarters.  We end up dropping the disc, making dumb turnovers, and sucking it up on our way to a 6-15 loss.  That puts us in the 3rd place bracket for the last spot to Nationals.  First up is Thompson High.  These guys have been pretty good this season with some pickups, but we have no idea who they brought this weekend.  Their main guy is Aaron Richards.  We have the disc on the goal line at least twice to win the game and decide to blow it.  We end up losing 16-15, after being up 14-10.  Richards single handidly won that game for them, dude is a stud. 

Depressed, we now have to play Rhino in the 7th place placement game.  We know it will not be easy to find the energy or heart to win this game.  Fortunately Rhino also just lost a season ending game against Voodoo, and they happen to be even more depressed.  We crush 15-6.  We hang out, watch finals, the game to go, and head back to the airport, where we can look forward to the highlight of our trip, the "club on a plane" as we liked to call it, the Virgin America flight.  If you've seen Soul Plane, you know what we're talking about.  Most importantly, we reached our team goal for the season, so we're happy with that despite the fact we didn't reach our potential.  We also managed to build a lot of friendships that will last a lifetime.
