2011 saw a tremendous increase in the quality and professionalism of ultimate coverage across the board, so its been a while since I've gone back to the grainy highlight reels from previous seasons. But I'm on some old flow tonight, mainly because I don't feel like sleeping for whatever reason (#nocturnaltraining!).
Just can't root for CUT, ever. Even in 2010 when you were supposed to root for them to beat Florida. I mean, who roots for Goliath? But whether its the Hodag bias or some sort of deep seated anti intellectual - privilege jealousy thing, I just can't get down with Carleton even though they are probably the most impressive team in college ultimate. They have 1/10th - 1/20th the enrollment of the other perennial powerhouses, I mean goddam.
Its the same thing with Revolver - I have tremendous respect for what they've done and their team culture but I can't root for them. And all things considered, its probably because of those old Hodag videos.
