Okay, that's it! My frisbee career is officially over. I retire with the last place spot firmly in my possession, with an overall record of 3-14 in tournament games. Beat that!
Seriously, though, I'm getting really tired of losing. Frequently, we don't even lose by that much. But I'll be damned if we don't lose the vast majority of the time. Granted, there are people with worse records than ~16%, but I can't think of any offhand. Except maybe the Livingston High School football team. (Cheap shot at the hometown rivals. (c;)
I'm gonna get a job, save up a few hundred dollars, buy an ass-load of discs, and spend my free time during the summer practicing every throw under the sun. That way, when I get back into college (hopefully after just one year of working), I can spend my three remaining years of collegiate eligibility working on more difficult aspects of the game. When it comes down to it, if you can't throw well, that's your responsibility and your fault. If you can't work well with the rest of your team, it's the fault of the team (most likely because you either don't practice enough or have a crappy coach. Or no coach. In my case it's choice A.). I figure if I spend a lot of time working on my throws, I can say that I've taken care of my responsibility, and then at least I'll know that I'll be a contributing member of whatever team I play on. The next one, by the way, will probably be Sam Houston.
Just so you know, we finished 1-4 at the tournament, and basically tied for last place. Actually, we probably forfeited the last game because we only had eight people and we were all ready to be done by the time it rolled arouned. We figured between the risk of injury and the fact that nobody really cared, we'd just call the game. Man, those Texas Lutheran guys were upset about that! They really wanted another crack at us (because they were the team we beat). So, if you don't count the forfeited last game, we got next-to-last. Oh well. Back to the Spring League. Speaking of which, I'm going to go check the status of my team, since I didn't get to play with them today.
Laters!
