Balls, Beer, & Booty!

Did I say I'd post the Founder's Cup results on "July 25?" Well, by
"July 25," what I was actually saying was "August 1!"

We had such a great time last weekend!

First, I'd like to start by thanking The Babylons and TrippMD for making the hike down to Bicentennial Park in Miami to watch the tournament. It meant SO MUCH to have you guys there...

I'd also like to thank Mr. & Mrs. Wrestling, who made it as far as I-395, before the floodgates opened, and the tourney was interrupted...

Last, but certainly not least, I'd like to thank Tracy, Jessica, Maria, Jeff, Missy, Karen, Meena, and The Judds for showing their support for UVL!

Now, on to the results of the Pirate-themed tournament (hence the title of this blog post):

Game 1: AA All-Stars 2, UVL 1
Sure, we lost our first game, but we were so proud of our performance! Going into the tournament, this was the 12th ranked team in the WORLD! To have held them to a 1-run win was a great feat on our part. Cap'n Jon Wickham and Dirty Dirty Trevor had a couple of plays that were so amazing that the AA All Stars AND the referees of the game came over to commend them!

Game 2: Good Times 9, UVL 1
Another loss - this one not as pretty... Something just didn't click, but it's all good... We had an BLAST, and that's what was most important.



(True sportsmanship - members of Good Times carry our own Jonathan Korb off the field after killing his knee making a monster defensive play)

As soon as Game 2 ended, the sky opened up. We literally saw the storm coming AT us over the highway. The next hour was spent under the Beer Tent (YES!) making new friends and partaking in a little Flip Cup.

Game 3: UVL 5, Fozzie's All Stars 3
Once the rain let up (only a little), we got to play in our Consolation Bracket against Fozzie's All Stars... This, by far, was our most fun game - regardless of the water torture that was upon us... These guys were out there to have a blast - just like us.

As a result of our performance in the 2006 Founder's Cup Tournament, UVL is now ranked #15(!) in the WAKA Power Poll, featured on Kickball365.com!



Thanks again to all who came out and those who were cheering for us from their respective locations!

Once again...

We are... UVL!
