Attendance: Everyone except Fred (working) and Noriko (night class).

Kendra's Ignorant Bliss put up a valiant fight but were no match for the spirited Violent Phlegms! Ignorant Bliss seemed to be fairly athletic and skilled (they even had a female ringer) but things didn't gel for them. We got the upper hand fairly early on and held onto it into the late, snowy night.

Once again Kim caught a bobbly disc in our endzone to start things off right. Ross managed a couple of layouts and Colin and Danny also found themselves on the floor on more than one occassion. The quality of our play was generally high and is appearing ever-increasingly professional.

Some plays were discussed before the game but we mainly relied on a 3-back, 3-forward arrangement which seemed to work pretty well. Someone suggested one female and two male handlers and it livened things up nicely. Having three people back allows someone to handle, someone to take the dump if necessary, and another handler to advance the disc, plus three players available for longer throws. Let us know waht you think!

We tried the zone defense on one play and it went well until Bliss got near our endzone. Our cup broke and while the Phlegms scrambled to cover their opponents, a point was scored against us. It happens sometimes, but zones do work a lot of the time! Thankfully Bliss was receptive of our new defensive strategy (there was some talk last season of outlawing the zone).

Like last week, the cheer was written on the grandstand by Phlegm subs. Ignorant Blis wrote a good cheer (are Danny and Colin gay?) and sang it as they choked on Turtles. Ours was rather penile went a little like this:
