We all hope that they have a speedy recovery. We did ask around on Sunday morning, but no other teams reported any problems. <BR/><BR/>Kyle, I assume that your conspiracy comment was tongue in cheek, so I won't go into lengths to defend the food service practices of the UPA.

We know cost can often be prohibitive to fly 'cross country, but I urge west coast teams to plan now for such a trip. <BR/><BR/>Following worlds last summer there was so much earnest talk about making sure NWS could attend the second annual PiCup, making it happen since it didn't in '06, either, but then the dates just didn't work out for Jeremy and Casey and the rest of the boys to make to Atlanta. <BR/><BR/>[By the way, it would've been an honor to have played against those two and the rest of their NWS teammates. I was blown away by Jeremy and Casey at worlds; it was a pleasure and a blast to work with them on the US squad. And I can only imagine how good the rest of the team is with Sam K-S, Milo and Vigus, who all impressed at tryouts, too.] <BR/><BR/>Luke and his Churchill teams also applied to the '07 PiCup, but were unable to find affordable airfare. <BR/><BR/>But that was this season, and this season is over for many, if not most, of us. How 'bout next spring, Folks? <BR/><BR/>The PiCup will house you, feed you, and hand you a free disc to top it all off. I know the toughest part of the trip can be the travel costs, if not senior trip conflicts, but just find a way to get here the 3rd weekend in April. This goes for all west coast teams; though we only host 8 teams in the cup, we'd love to have west coast presence in '08.<BR/><BR/>Michael<BR/>PaideiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15060864.post-7354143511335915052007-05-16T02:35:00.000-04:002007-05-16T02:35:00.000-04:00Jimmy for callahanJimmy for callahanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15060864.post-18463229495566312032007-05-15T23:58:00.000-04:002007-05-15T23:58:00.000-04:00yes that would be amazing.

The first game was more of a grudge match against Hopkins and lasted until universe point and CHS ended out on top. Then their game against Nathan Hale was even more challenging, with Churchill almost losing, but again setting it up for a universe point and a win. This forced NWS to play hale, as said before. As well as CHS girls would have a very easy ride, with SAS for their quarters and Lakeside for their Semis. NWS had to play Hopkins for their quarters, and Nathan Hale for their semis, leaving them tired after the two hard games. As well as Churchill being pumped and warmed up for the finals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15060864.post-25737033286122308172007-05-15T23:03:00.000-04:002007-05-15T23:03:00.000-04:00Yeah, the Hopkins games were sick, i actually had ...Yeah, the Hopkins games were sick, i actually had a lot of fun in those, and it was kinda tight that we split even, Alter was just a sick matchup with me he had some just nasty hucks.

We love Ultimate, competition, and we're game for anything involving a disc.<BR/><BR/>On a less positive note, I'd like to mention that Paideia doesn't condone calling other teams' players chumps, especially teams we haven't played. I've asked many of my teammates, and none of them claim to have put that post up (most had not even heard of this website). I do not mean to denounce the person who wrote that comment, but it looks (from various amazingly correct spellings) that it could be a Paideia player, and I do not want irreverent talk about other teams and players to be associated with Paidiea Ultimate. I'd like to also apologize for my team if it in fact was a Paideia player that wrote that. <BR/><BR/>A lot of Paideia's players are going to YCC (mixed - Georgia doesn't get a bid to open this year), and we'd love to have a really intense game with some of these Seattle players. I hope that maybe NWS can start coming to the Paideia Cup next year and help us create an even better tournament and bring back a bicoastal, national-like tournament to youth Ultimate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15060864.post-80834275117214825432007-05-15T22:32:00.000-04:002007-05-15T22:32:00.000-04:00Please, please stop the Paideia/NWS madness. This...Please, please stop the Paideia/NWS madness. This topic has become a train wreck. Tragically lost in this wreck is many people's sound judgement and credibility. <BR/><BR/>No one knows how the game would play out, nobody (except for Hopkins) has attended a tournament with both teams this season (this is not an invitation for Hopkins players to post on their prediction of the two teams), and both teams established that they were dominant against the teams that they played.<BR/><BR/>Anyone claiming that Paideia would win or Northwest would win are risking their ability to ever be taken seriously when it comes to talking about Ultimate again - I would hesitate to vote for the Callahan nominee that you hype. <BR/><BR/>Paideia 2007 is a great team. Northwest 2007 is a great team. There have been other great teams at other times like Amherst 2003-2006 and maybe North Hills 2008 and, of course, Paideia 1996 (you don't even know ;). <BR/><BR/>Now let's get back to talking about the UPA poisoning players at Westerns. Is it a conspiracy? Should the players at Easterns pack their own lunches? You can never be to careful with those black-hearted UPA administrators and their nefarious plans.<BR/><BR/>BTW, all of the youth players and coaches in Seattle, Atlanta, Minneapolis, and Boston should go to the UPA Strategic Planning summit and have your voice heard on the future of Ultimate: http://www.upa.org/upa/strategicplanning. It'll be awesome and you'll get free food and a disc.<BR/><BR/>-KyleKyle Weisbrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12968840595720794251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15060864.post-90815342911331310552007-05-15T22:20:00.000-04:002007-05-15T22:20:00.000-04:00Chris you are an excellent young man and a very bi...Chris you are an excellent young man and a very big threat going deep.
