Ow My Knee 2016

Another glorious OMK is in the books. Highlights from the weekend:

  • Darts and credit card roulette for spin-the-wheel on Friday = 4 hours of sleep
  • First point of Saturday - we have 4 players there on time
  • Pool(tub) of shame
  • Gooch wears a $90 shark wrestling singlet
  • Games got rained out around noon on Sat
  • Circling the wagons, playing dice and drinking, car-swapping relay races
  • Front seat must be naked
  • Day drinking and pizza box at Mike’s
  • No one is allowed to take off clothes when they shower
  • Dinner with Seth & Jennie
  • Anti-thumper at Wolff’s
  • After-party at Liz’s mom’s house
  • First game on sunday - opponents warm up for half an hour, we win 13-4
  • Tom Kirby’s 15-year-old son Jack picks up with us for the day. He’s pretty good for being 15.
  • Second game - we fall behind pretty hard, rally the troups, eke out a win
  • I throw Dana a terrible floaty huck, do my penance by drinking a sip from the pool of shame
  • Squirt-gun shootout with a 4-year-old
  • Semis - game is very upwind/downwind, we can’t catch a disc in the endzone to save our lives, lose 13-9
  • Last point of semis: I catch a nice half-field throw from Brown, dish it, drop the next pass. Handler picks up, I handblock his hammer, cut to the endzone. Brown throws to my S-cut, it gets Ded, I lay out a million feet to catch it. Rush to stand up and throw the goal, get footblocked. About 30 seconds of my highest highs and lowest lows for the day.
  • I threw and caught at least 1 Rochester each
  • Post-tourney burgers at Jumping Jacks, grilling at Liz’s mom’s, home by 8pm

Bears finish together
