"Wait, is frisbee even a real sport?!?"

We've all heard the question time and time again. The answer is yes - heck yes. Frisbee is one of the best club sports to ever exist. It doesn't get much better than throwing a plastic disc at some of your best pals. Here are just a few highs and lows we all know to be true about playing ultimate frisbee.

1. When it's tournament weekend and you can't help but dance.


The hype leading up to the tournament can be too much to bear sometimes. When you finally get out of that last Friday class and pile into the cars to head out, some serious jamming is bound to happen.

2. When your team is down by a few too many points at the half...


Entering halftime losing by a few points changes the morale of the whole team. Knowing that the rest of the game will be even harder means it's time to step it up!

3....but starts off the second half with a score on a beautiful downwind huck.

Commence celebration. We have been redeemed.

4. Getting injured.


No words needed. When you're injured all you can do is watch and wish you were on the field, you eat a lot of cheese balls and get really, really good at throwing the disc to yourself.

5. Throwing the perfect zone.

Got 'em. When your team works together too well and shuts the opponents down, you feel like you can do anything. The cup can't be beat.

6. When you get your victory dance down.

Having a sweet victory dance is the icing on the cake of a perfect catch. Sticky hands, super cool moves.

7. Dropping the perfect throw.


When you know you coulda had it but you just can't get there fast enough. Sorry, coach youtube.

8. Lining up for the pull and feelin' fierce.

The squad's all here, and they are lookin' good. This starting line is unstoppable, basically.

9. Trying to tell your teammates to cut deep.

"Cut left, front, right, then turn the page and sprint deep and I'll hit you with an IO flick on the front corner of the endzone!" Yeah, you probably didn't understand exactly what you were saying, either.

10. Tournament snacks.


All of the bagels, all of the peanut butter, and all of the warm gatorade. We all have a love-hate relationship with those snack tables in the sun.

11. When the teams huddle and intermingle to pray it out.


At the end of the game, we're all here to have fun and to play frisbee. Huddling with the other team is a vivid reminder of the Spirit of the Game.

12. Conditioning, conditioning, conditioning.

We all know the feeling at the end of practice. You're just about ready to fall over and sleep, but now is the time to sprint. This really is good for you, we promise.

13. Knowing there is no one else you'd rather play with.


Thanks for the fun times, team. You make college sports so rad, and I can't think of anyone else I would rather throw frisbees around with. Here's to many, many more tournaments and very little sleep with y'all by my side.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.
