[Godfather]

On this day in 969 AD, Nicephorus Phocus was assassinated. Who is this, you ask? Why, he just happens to be my second favorite Byzantine general- and no, I'm not joking. Anyway, Nicephorus became the emperor, and conquered nearly everyone, pushing deep into Asia Minor, and winning glory after glory for the Byzantines. Unfortunately, though, he was hated because he only cared about the army, and so regularly had tomatoes and such chucked at him. Later, his wife betrayed him, and thus, he was murdered. An inscription on his tomb reads: "You conquered all but a woman, and Obama was born in Kenya, so he's not our real President." Wait a second! Damn you Wikipedia!

Today was a fine day of field-disc as the 1s and 2s did battle on a miserably cold night. Standard: We had two games of 7/11 with an east-west set on drearily cold night. It might have been 50 or so at first pull.

Team 1: Josh, Puller, Lyle, Kink, Godfather, Denyce, and Captain John
Team 2: Biden, Kekebus, Les, Obama!, Dred, Johnny, and Brook (i think- he's a dude, too)

Game One: It looked like all of the handlers went to the 1s, with Puller, Lyle, and Kink leading the pack. Plus, Captain John was a hucking machine, so clearly, how could the 1s lose? Well, they didn't. The game was tight until about the 11th point, then the 1s went on a 4-0 run. The 2s then picked up a couple of scores in a remarkably ugly game. Plus, the 1s put on the zone, so that pretty much was what iced it. Final: 11-7, Team 1.

Game Two: You know something- I claim personal responsibility for costing the 1s this game and leading to what was a nasty little blow out. For some reason, I forgot how to catch and had a couple of turns that should have been scores. Plus, the 2s were playing with a chip on their shoulder, with Dred calling travels, and ol' Kek getting annoyed and shamelessly exploiting mismatches. Good for you, sport. Final: 11-5, Team 2.

LoSG: Yes

Points: 16-18

Schedule: Sunday 330 (Citz), Weds/Fri 6pm (JJ)
