Friday, October 27, 2006. Status after Day 2. Well, yesterday's predictions weren't quite, uh, accurate. Weather affects this silly game so much. While Ring gave Sockeye their best game thus far, they won't be up to taking down the other NW power in quarters. Vancouver advances. Chain is playing better right now, and wins to avoid the pre-Q give them momentum instead of the losses to sneak away from the pre-Q like Revolver. Chain in the Semis!

deepdiscthoughts: September 2005
http://deepdisc.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 30, 2005. First Weekend of open Regionals. I think it is time for some predictions for who will qualify for Open Nationals this year. All according to seed except BaNC will beat HOV. Truck Stop will demolish Burgh. LCN will top Philly, Pike will be down early against Truck Stop, and then pull away. Potomac and Ring will walk to wins. HOV, Burgh, Warriors and El Camino notch win #1. Two and out for James Madison, Los, Punch and William and Mary. Pike, Ring, Potomac. Jam "upsets" Furious ...

Tuesday, November 01, 2005. Rules of Nationals Re-examined. 1 Two teams from the NW will be in Semis. True But all three made semis. 2 Either DoG, Ring or Pike will make semis. 3 Bravo and Condors will make Quarters. False Condors started 0-3 and finished 9th. 4 Twisted won't make quarters. True, but the rule was flawed as shown by the historians amongst us. 5 Team on a Tear. 35 outta 5 ain't bad. Bravo did make quarters and stall out again. Pike and DoG did make it back to quarters. Pool B sent 1. 1-6, ...

Tuesday, July 18, 2006. Irregular Updating. Goddamn Summer. Much better to brood over this stupid sport as the weather turns cold. The heat lends itself to such optimism. Weather and attitudes are so sunny at this point- no one has failed yet. So how will this season play out? Lets try this for Nationals:. NE(2): Punk-Rock Poseurs, Video Game Nerds. NW(4): Anadromous Pinkies, Perturbed Smaller Brained Simian, Mythical Fire-Breathing Reptile, Spiderman Villain. C(2): Noob Saibot, Gas Guzzlers.

deepdiscthoughts: December 2006

Friday, December 08, 2006. Well, I'm glad I got that last post of my chest. Apologies to the sensitive types out there. I was traveling over the holiday and I got to wondering what level of confusion/unpreditability is ideal to force an offense out of the comfort zone. Clearly, you need to do things that the O does not expect, but you cannot be so completely random that your teammates cannot anticipate what will happen in a given situation.

Monday, October 24, 2005. The chatter has been raging on the message board. The emails have been flying. The phone calls keep going back and forth. The team works itself into a frenzy as Nationals approaches. A single-mindedness that just can't be duplicated in any other place or in any other time. Sometimes the anticipation is too much. In the words of Doc Holiday "The stress was more than he could bear.". As an aside, this may be Val Kilmer's finest performace, bar none.). Clubber Lang: My prediction?

deepdiscthoughts: May 2006
http://deepdisc.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 12, 2006. How do you make yourself an elite player? Are you a gifted athlete who just walks onto any team he likes? Are you a tactician declining in years who knows the game inside and out? Do you work so hard that you know you're pushing your body to the limit just to play at that level? What percentages of elite players fall into these different groups? What other groups are there? What is it that the short guys do that the tall guys can't?

deepdiscthoughts: February 2006

Tuesday, February 28, 2006. Long Time No Post. After Nationals ends again without a title. Well, you just sorta pull back and take stock. You let the season go, bit by bit. You have to. You can't carry that weight with you. For someone who goes into every single game knowing he will win, the months after Nationals can be so very hard. Cold, regardless of the weather. Dark, regardless of the time of day. Depressing, regardless of what goes right. Inexplicably, the psyche slowly begins to rebuild itself...

deepdiscthoughts: Champs Plus Mixed
http://deepdisc.blogspot.com/2006/11/champs-plus-mixed.html
Friday, November 03, 2006. Sockeye wins. Like I said. A self-administered punch to the ear has been had. On to other business:. How do people think that mixed is of the same quality as open/women's? Open/Women's combo teams beat top mixed teams. Every single year at all those summer coed fun tourneys. Every year. How can you think the talent level is the same? I don't care where/when mixed occurs. It *should* occur because people want to play it. Posted by deepdiscthoughts : 4:16 PM.
