Potlatch '06





















So the picture on the left is what Mr. Eppig looked like at Potlatch this year. The picture on the right is what he looked like last year. You can see what he looked like two years ago by clicking on the Andrew Eppig link in the right margin. This is a man who is dedicated to his craft.

Anyway, Professor Booty turned in its best Potlatch performance ever, going 3-1 in pool play on the first day of the tournament (and we could have won the other game as well if we hadn't been a little worn out). On Sunday we were seeded 5th in the C pool, putting us in the top half of the field. And though we lost both our games Sunday, we had three game points in the first one (which we failed to score-and then we lost the second game on a hangover from the first game). The team that beat us finished at the top of the B pool last year.

For those of you unfamiliar with Ultimate, Potlatch is the largest co-ed tournament in the world. It consistently draws some of the best players and teams in the game (making it all the cooler that a team comprised mainly of CUT and Syzygy alums won the whole thing). For Booty to finish so high in the field is really, really impressive.

Of course, most of the credit goes to Matt "Genghis" Hahn. That guy is alright.
