Because I can’t get enough of Ultimate Frisbee, I spent Tuesday night playing a pick-up game with the USF team. Talk about intense.

These kids are young, fast and skilled. And yet they didn’t mind letting a rusty 30-year-old try and hold her own.

Crystal ”And My Mom Says I’m Athletically Impaired—Ha!” Lauderdale and Paul ”I’m Not Comfortable Unless I’m Wearing A Floral Shirt” Lamison joined me. We held our own and then some.

The night reminded me of the good ol’ days when I played for UF’s team. Go Gators!

Not only do the Gators excel at basketball and football, they are the reigning 2006 Ultimate Players Association College Open Champs. With a 15-12 win over No. 2 Wisconsin, Florida finished the season 49-1. Woo hoo!!

I still remember their chant: UFUCT, UFUCT, UFUCT, U!! (UFUCT = University of Florida Ultimate Club Team)

I love Florida!!

I already round up a gang for Ultimate Frisbee at 1 p.m. Sundays at Riverfront Park. I’ve added Tuesday night to my rotation.

But the real beauty lies in the fact that it’s possible to play Ultimate within a 30-mile radius seven nights a week. Check it out here.

Let me know if you give it a try!
