<p>Saturday . In an almost guaranteed weather event. In Conway, Arkansas at the Hendrix Ultimate Experience. Live and in person for your viewing pleasure -it’s fireflyscout’s D’s Carleton Eclipse vs. curmudgeon’s D’s Lady Rhodekill. A few lawn chair seats are still available. </p>
<p>Truly a couple of David’s versus a pool of Goliath’s. Carleton and Rhodes are in a pool with Oklahoma State, U of Arkansas, and Mizzou. Seems fair enough. </p>
<p>Don’t expect that much out of the Rhodes girls , except laughter. D says they have a mighty fun time. Gosh, I want to be there. Let’s go Ladies! Stomp them into a mudhole. I mean -play for the love of the game! If you want to, that is. I keep forgetting that this is the anarchist’s favorite sport. </p>
<p>And play for the love of the game is right. My D plays on a squash team ranked #32 in the nation. Out of 32 teams. That was their ranking pre season and that is their ranking post season and you know what? It couldn’t have been a more enriching experience. D learned a lot about class (the top-notch Yale ladies were gracious, not condescending and encouraging as they womped D’s team 9-0 ) met a lot of great girls and saw some amazing northeastern campuses - exotic for this western girl. I wish all college athletes could have an equally sane, fun experience D and curm’s D are having.</p>
<p>Yup. All the girls in one hotel room. They are living high on the hog now. </p>
<p>D will be easy to pick out. She will be the one (claiming to be) blissfully ignorant of the whole “no contact” thing they have going in Ultimate. And she better be wearing her custom made high dollar storebought blue mouthpiece.</p>
<p>Edit: D just called , she is only playing on the all girl’s team this weekend so the matchup is on with Carleton. Too cool. Anybody else’s kid playing in the tourney? Splashkid maybe?</p>
<p>katliamom, that sounds so cool. Playing on the East coast. I don’t think D’s bunch is going quite that far. At least I haven’t been told.</p>
<p>Not so fast, Curmudgeon, for some reason I think Carleton may have invented Ultimate, so size is NOT everything. Good luck to the D, and Fireflyscout’s D as well!</p>
<p>And in addition to a tie, we’ll root for the MVPs to be: Carleton Eclipse and Lady Rhodekill. What a great part of the college experience! Good luck all around.</p>
<p>Wow, 1sokkermom–managed to dump on cur in his funny, celebratory thread, using as ammo stuff culled from the most serious, soul-searching thread on the entire forum.</p>
<p>Not funny, dude.</p>
<p>But, anyway, go Rhodekill and Eclipse! Ultimate CC!!!</p>
<p>Curmudgeon, have you checked the weather in Arkansas? I’m not sure if the games will be played. Or do they play in rain? I have no idea, I’ve never seen an ultimate game. Anywho, the conversation between our kiddos should be VERY interesting (my parent is more whack than yours!),</p>
<p>Tried googling for info and failed. Do you have a link to what men’s or mixed teams are playing in the Hendrix tournament. S1 is a freshman on one of the Wash U teams.</p>
<p>If you go to the link in Curm’s original post and go to Tournaments listed at the top, you can find the full tournament list. From there you can find the Hendrix Open link, which will list those teams. S 1 is a soph who plays in the SE (and absolutely loves this sport) and is very good about sending the “old folks” at home the tournament links, but we don’t usually find much current info at the site; sigh. We have to wait for the kiddo to call us with stories of his athletic glories.</p>
