Best disc memory: My freshman year when we made it to regions in Iowa, it was a great time. Best tournament weather I have ever played in (I like playing in nice weather). We also took Flynner's mobile home to the tournament. I would have to say we rode in style!!

Played since: Fall 2000

Favorite catch/throw: Any throw or catch that I make into the endzone for a score becomes an instant favorite.

Disc revelations: Dave Moore showed up to 2001 regions with a Fleet Farm bag to become his poncho, that was a pretty cool idea.

I have played in some pretty shitty weather. My freshman year we went to a tournament in Iowa (what we now call Cold Iowa). It had to be the coldest weather I had ever played in. The windchill made it at least 10-20 degrees below zero, most people got windburn. The only way you could score was by going down winde. I dont think we will ever play in that tournament again!! Regions of 2001 also had shitty weather. On the last day it started to rain and storm, we got fairly wet that day...it sucked. Regions of 2002 we played in snow on the last day. You could not lace your shoes in a certain way or the snow would build up under the cleats. Yea it sucked, but we survived.

Other comments: I have also played summer leagues and hoping that I can play for a club team this summer.
