just got back from the first practice of the CC men's team, and holy crap. i don't know if it was all the altitude, but i am definitely not in quite good enough shape yet to play. as far as freshmen go, i think i'm better than average, nowhere near the best freshman on the team this year. then compared to the seniors, none of us even come close. nicky spiva's one of the captains who plays for a club team back in nashville that finished behind doublewide and chain lightning at regionals last year, so he'll be playing in nationals next year. today he was playing as a handler even though his natural position is a cutter, and he still absolutely dominated.
that said, i'm wicked pumped for the season. a bunch of the team is studying abroad, so the freshmen are all going to get a ton of playing time during the fall, which will be awesome. the upperclassmen are feeling really good about our chances this year too. last year the team finished 7th at southwest regionals, and that was with about half the team injured. they also hung with mamabird, trading points before finally being broken at the end to lose by two, but it was the closest game colorado had all day at regionals. this year, the whole team is returning, plus whatever freshmen decide to keep playing. there'll probably be an A and B team, so i'm going to work my ass off to make the A team, cause i have a date with two friends on the UNH team at nationals.
