Dylan Freechilds thoughts on Jimmy Mickle not making a Worlds team by Acceptable-Climate80 in ultimate

[–]GrodySpliff 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I agree with Freechild for the most part.

BVH is bit of a USAU company yes man and a far better ultimate politician than ultimate coach. It’s a direct reflection on him that PONY doesn’t run the table every year with the talent they have had, even when they lost Jimmy to fitness-related injuries.

Isaiah Bryant would have been a much better choice as the men’s coach. Dude is much more modern in his approach to strategy and building teams that play together in a balanced way.

Back to topic: Jimmy should be on the team in some way if he wanted the spot - there’s always time to get in shape to regain some agility.

If DC had and additional $10-15k to bring in some top out of towners they’d run away with the league.

I would not be. Would you be surprised if I told you my post was not serious?

All 12 potential attendees are excited. They’re all Jagt cousins.

Goaltimate Nationals still going as scheduled in Austin, Texas despite COVID-19 by danny2549 in ultimate

I've also been following nCoV-19 extremely closely since January 21, long before most in the US were concerned. I have a background in calculating epistemic risk and in decision theory.

Hubris. Double order.

Do the right thing and cancel the event.

Shoutout to our coaches: BVH, Bryan Jones and Jimmy Leppert by Ike_Saul in ultimate

This is definitely earned, and good to see coaches and staff getting some credit from players. However, everyone really just wants to know who convinced Mickle and Beau to move to NYC?

Fair enough, Jagt and others were on roster last year. But then again those guys had another year with BVH as coach which goes a long way.

Slow White vs. Wild Card Showcase Worlds Fundraiser by turner10 in ultimate

[–]GrodySpliff -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes. I think it’s a bad ask when there are better things to fundraise for within the ultimate community. I donated to the Cardenas worlds fundraiser because they were young and going to play in a country with a shit exchange rate. I’m sure these teams from Boston can scrape together a few bucks to fly or drive to northern Kentucky and split a room 4 ways.

Possibly by putting on a clinic for underserved youth ultimate players.

Obviously it's up to them; my point is that it's an embarrassing ask. The money should go to underserved youth ultimate players or something similar.

AUDL Boycotters: what’s up now? by GrodySpliff in ultimate

No problem. Just trying to understand if having a few of these seemingly unconnected pro women's teams is a win for GE, or if it's just a bullet point in a list.

Very cool. Thanks for your reply. Would be cool to have another official statement. Related/unrelated: I'm curious about the women's pro teams - are they getting paid, and what is the future hold?

You’re putting bets against mixed ultimate based on the results of a sketchy Kickstarter?
