Clambake

Saturday had the Clown start with a savage DOG. The Clown scored three quick points but DOG threw a wily zone (changing the look each point) that flustered the Clown and lead to a loss. Next was Run Silent Run Deep, who clown played tight but lost. Last was OFC, charged with new additions from the class of 08 and Chun-Li’s brother, who demoralized the Clown and won in a fun match.

On sunday hungover/DD clown lost to RPI and then proceeded to beat Bates and embarass the traitor Socrates.

And naturally Bowdoin was able to win the party.

Frozen butterball

November 17 marked the annual frozen butterball tournament at Bowdoin. Nine teams came (UNH, UMaine, UMF, Chum, Stew, Clam Diggers, Herniated Disc, Serial Swillers, Dead Reckoning) and Bowdon also had a team. After raining for two straight days before hand the weather on saturday was a perfect november day with clear skies only a slight wind and temperatures in the mid 40s.

Bowdoin matched up against the Clam Diggers in the first game of the day and jumped out to an early lead due mostly to the intimidation caused by its new uniforms. However a lack of practice eventually sank the Clown/theory team and the Diggers took the game. In the second game Bowdoin defeated UMaine be tearing apart their zone. The third game pitted Bowdoin against the Townie team of the serial swillers. The game was a lot of fun, and though bowdoin lost no one seemed too upset. Bowdoin’s final game was against Herniated Disc from camden maine. Bowdoin won a close contest in the setting sun 13-11 to finish the day at .500.

The overall winner of the tournament was chum who only managed to find one former callahan winner for their otherwise stocked team. Chum generously donated their frozen prize to the Tedford shelter in brunswick.

Clambake

Saturday:

First game was against “Jerk Factory” a canadian team(?) that didn’t suck. Bowdoin played them close but failed to make plays when it counted and ended up falling 15-11. Bowdoin then battled the JMU alums. JMU through a lot of hucks but the D played well and the clown went won with out trouble. The final game was against DoG. The game was much more spirited than the sectionals contest. The game was fun but precision beat fire and ended the clowns chance at the A bracket. Saturday concluded with an old fat-clown scrimmage. The older members had a good contingent including Tim-dog (94), and Old Ben (99) but lost to the younger set thanks to rodeo skying freeland twice awesomely.

Sunday:

Bowdoin’s oppentent failed to show for the first game so bowdoin advanced to the semis of the loser pool. the Clown defeated vasser thanks to its skill of making freshman play cup.  Then they avenged old fat by beating red tired despite a lot of chippy foul calls.

And of course bowdoin (and freeland) won the party.

The week ahead and Clambake

We will practice out at farley tuesday through thursday this week.

Updates from Sectionals

Saturday:

Just got off the phone with Wonder, and score reporter isn’t up yet:

A-side vs. Tufts — 11:10 (Clown had two callahans)
A-side vs. Tide — 8:13 (played ‘em pretty close)
A-side vs. Big Ego — 6:13 (ego was old and wily)
A-side vs. Gunslingers — 2:13 (clown was dead)

So they still have a shot at regionals, which is awesome. They need to win one game tomorrow.

Tide lost to Ego, Ego lost to Gunslingers, Gunslingers lost to Tide, so there are three teams in their pool that are 3-1. In the other pool, Boston Ultimate rolled.

Majors props to the first clown team ever to play at Div1 sectionals (as far as I know).

The B-team lost all three games (played in a really tough pool, if you ask me), but had a lot of fun. C-team won a game, I hear.

Sunday:

Bowdoin played its first game against Run Silent Run Deep. After being down early 3-0 and 8-4 the Clown battled to tie it at 10-10, but got cold at the wrong time and fell 15-11.

In the last game of the day Bowdoin trounced a tired Silent Strike team 15-8 thanks to great defensive play and a consistent offense.

For a team that was missing 5 of its players for the tournament the clown played with a lot of fire and talent.

Bowdoin ended up in a 3 way tie for 6th with both RSRD and tufts, it came down to point differential and the clown got the short end of the stick. So no bid to regionals unfortunatly but nevertheless an excellent weekend for everyone.

Both B and C played well on sunday as well including an awesome win by Bowdoin B over Tufts B to prove that bowdoin is better than tufts.
