If you play ultimate, explaining the financial toll it takes on your wallet is no news. It is amazing how we travel to all parts of the nation just to chase around a plastic disc, all the time building up our student loans in order to pay for this sick (actually AWESOME) little addiction. This year though, we have been doin some pretty sweet fundraisers to limit that debt.

In the past we have had some really interesting fundraisers-selling pizza cards, selling credit cards, and one of my personal favorites; refereeing intramural ultimate. In the fall we worked football games and sold walking tacos to fans. We also cleaned Hilton a few times after concerts (like the Sugarland concert-which was awesome!!). This month, we had our 3rd Hilton cleaning event of the year. I took the liberty of taking a few pictures so I could blog about it.

Now in the grand scheme of things, these little cleaning events suck pretty bad. It is basically 14-25 ladies trying to clean an entire (15,000 seats) arena after people have just thrown their popcorn, peanuts, soda, and fliers EVERYWHERE! The double decker just makes it even worse because you get done with the top part and realize how much more you really have. These treasured times usually run about 4-5 hours in length and by the time we are ready to leave there is a good chance we are all coated with about a centimeter of nastiness.

One of the best things about sweeping Hilton (besides the big paycheck) is the things you will find. You can get anything from chew bottles, to condom rappers, and even money sometimes. A tip to the wise: don't try to clean up after a concert if you are even the least bit nauseous. The smell of beer overtakes the place and you will be dumping half filled glasses into 5 gallon buckets all night!


I'm not naming names here, but there was even an incident where a few ladies found some half full Cup-O-Cookies and may or may not have indulged.

"If it doesn't kill you, it will only make you stronger."

Sweeping can be a real pain, but all in all, it builds our team bond, work ethic, bank account, back muscles, and disgust tolerance.


On a whole other note:

Several of Scorned women gathered at the Bordello (yeah...I finally gave in to the name) gathered to watch the playoff game last week. Although the night ended in heartbreak and a sore Brett Farve, we had a good time. Bosco made some weird soup for all of us to eat. It was pretty delicious-even the 20 dogs that were in attendance enjoyed it. Jazz even made a new friend, who she named Brownie-real original.

Yeah-eh-ah-eh-ahaaaa, It's a Party in the USA

In order to fulfill the blood binding pact that Jazz and I made, we were obligated to throw a birthday party on Wednesday night (worked out around prac and sprints, of course). The music was picked and the Facebook event was made. All was in order. Guest came from all directions-even as far as Wisconsin!

The day was great right from the start. Stine and I went to Indian Palace for some tasty birthday lunch. After class and work, the night was officially started off with a birthday dinner at none other than Hickory Park! Mikey, Schafbuch, Robyn, and Isaac made the most of it by insisting on getting the waitresses to sing the happy birthday to me, and we all shared the deliciously free ice cream.

While we were hitting up HP, Jazz and Stine were treating our other Eau Claire visitors (Brit and Martha) to some food on Welch. Shortly after dinner, it was time to start the party up. There were the usual card games, dance offs, showing Archie’s tricks off, disc races, and random shenanigans. After several hours at the LLC, we decided it was necessary to head to the station. We found many more people at the regular hang out spot and more mingling was done. The night ended with an epic story that Robyn can tell much better than myself, but basically I had the grand idea to rearrange my room and Robyn ended up with a 250 pound bookshelf (which is no longer in one piece) pinning her against the wall while I laughed.

Overall I would have to say that the birthday was a great success. The rest of the week involved more celebrating (even after midnight Thursday practice because the EC people didn’t leave), and birthday week was done right!


My birthday gifts received:
From: Annihka- a dinosaur tattoo
Daisy- a lap dance that I have yet to receive
Casey- drank a disc in my honor (well half)
Robyn- a male escort

Soooo, I’m not going to bore you with any stories about myself-mostly because everyone already knows them (getting bit by a bald eagle?). But I will tell you a little bit about myself. I am a graduating senior, majoring in Animal Science/Pre-veterinary Medicine. I absolutely love my classes, and I also enjoy telling everyone I know about the weird medical facts and the sweet animal production stats. I CAN NOT WAIT until the day that I have a “dr.” before my name...but seriously I am very excited about veterinary school.

I didn’t start college as a Frisbee player (actually I was a wrestling manager), but the amazing Rachel Bottjen made me come to practice one night, I puked afterward, my first tourney was the epic SB ‘08, and I have been hooked ever since! I am not your average Ultimater-I am on time (even early sometimes), I hate wearing jerseys, I love country music, and I am in no way a hippie- but I love the game and the way of life! My favorite thing about ultimate is meeting people, especially when it’s through friendly trash talk in games. That is a true bond.



I love playing for Woman Scorned. It has opened up doors I could have never foreseen, and I have made some of the best friends of my life! These ladies are awesome-we go from running ravaging sprints, playing heart bursting games, to way over-celebrating life-all along the way they know how to have a great time!

Well that is enough about me. If you want to know more, just ask.

Ultimate is my life, everything else is just for fun.




January 11th: Jasmine’s birthday started out with a lot of sweating, grunting, and heavy breathing which involved much of the WS and the captain of ISU-Jeremy Keiser. Although she wasn’t involved in the action, Tai was standing around watching, giving directions, and adding pointers. After an impressive hour-for the ISUC guys involved, that is- we left Forker Gym and headed home for quick showers before heading out to continue the celebration.

Estas was our first stop. We played pool, laughed at the girls wearing stilettos in January, and made fun of the nerdy guys who bring their own cue sticks to the bar. We also found out that Estas has a new birthday deal: Free tacos on the Tuesday after your bday! We hit that up fosho’ the next night. After hitting a few more places and meeting up with many friends, including the L-Dawgy Doggity, we ended up at the Station; surprise, surprise! Although we weren’t there for long, we did get a chance to say happy birthday to Blake (Jazz’s brotha from another motha) and drink some sort of beverage that was on fire. We headed home fairly early to catch some shut eye before day 2 of our final semester.

Now there are many things about Jasmine that people may not know. Where do I even start? Ok, she really likes to yell incoherently at people, she is a D machine and she can jump like 5 feet in the air to block a huck, she is two pounds of fun in a 2 oz shot glass, and she is smart-she’s an engineer! She also really likes fried chicken, and when we went to Midwest Warm Up, she talked me into going to Church’s Chicken-which was the worst fast food experience of my life!

Jasmine is our intimidation factor on Woman Scorned. People get pretty scared when they see her and the insane layouts D’s she is capable of. It is also a rare occasion to catch her not sporting an ultimate jersey. She can normally be found in some form of Woman Scorned or CLX jersey. There are so many funny stories that I could tell about Jazzy, but unfortunately she would literally kill me if I put them up here, but if you ever are looking for a laugh, just ask her about the port-a-John at nationals, waving to her best friend as she drove by, or maybe even the Gyro stand guy stories.

While all of these Jazzisms are great, my favorite thing about Jazzy-fizzle is her ability to joke around. She is great at taking crap and isn’t shy about shooting it right back at you

. Actually, most of the time I don’t even understand the insults I receive from her, they are so sophisticated …or something. J is one of a kind, and we all know that we are lucky to have her as our leader!
