[to be read exclusively in voice of monday night football celebrity tease]
You want a tournament? Ive got your tournament.
16 teams - most have already made their long car rides or flights, and are nestled tight into their Holiday Inn sheets and blankets, they sleep - dreaming of a glimmer of coming glory.
Its the UPA Eastern Championship, featuring the best teams from the Mississippi to the Atlantic Ocean, from Massachussettes to Wisconsin to Tennessee - and everywhere in between. These teams carry with them the dreams of their cities, their schools, their local leagues, and their team mates. Battle forged by seasons of long practices and trips to some of the most prestigious high school tournaments in the country - The Paideia Cup, the Amherst Invite, the 13th Annual Hip Hop on Pop.
But no matter what road led them to the tournament, they will all descend upon the same Pittsburgh fields at 8am tomorrow morning.
Seedings, late drops and team signups, injuries, games lost - they all mean nothing now. Its time. You wanna game? I got your game right here. Grudge matches, bragging rights - whos taking it home - Amherst? Pennsbury? Columbia? Wissahickon? a dark horse from the south or west?
Two days. One championship. Right now. Its Easterns time baby

feel free to post any updates right here
...as well as last minute trash talking etc.
Starting at 9am tomorrow -
Princeton vs. Milton
LC Bird vs. U. School of Nashville
Mount Lebanon vs. Madison West
Pennsbury vs. Lincoln Sudbury
Wissahickon vs. Hampton
Columbia vs. James Madison Memorial
My predictions, based on little more than guesswork...
Princeton over Milton
LC Bird over USN
Madison West over Lebo
Pennsbury over Lincoln
Wissahickon over Hampton
Columbia over JMM
The 3rd and fourth rounds tomorrow are going to be tricky though with Amherst vs. Yorktown and Wiss vs. Columbia
only time will tell, if you have results post em here asap, if you know someone at the fields and can get on the phone with them during their bye round, post anything you hear here.
looking forward to seeing how things figure out...
Nice writing Matt, very dramatic.
I don't know anything about East Coast ultimate, but I want Amherst to lose...
(Nothing against you personally, I just like seeing giants fall)
I'm personally a fan of dynasties.
Go Amherst!
(Unless a PHUEL team knocks 'em off. Cause that just looks better for us.)
So...
Go Wissahickon!
anyone have any scores? its almost the end of round two!
c/o of Nick Kaczmarek who is currently at the fields...

with the cap almost run out.
