After the game- NorCal AO Somenumber ( :P )

[Z-man]

uggggg. I just now got in from my weekend. Major thinks to the Millin family who put up with us for 2 evenings. Yeah that last game kinda hurt. I think the hardest part was just trying to see people, they were everywhere but I had no clue... spray and pray.

I can tell you that after taking something like 70+ shots to your body and having to get up at 4am the next day to play a tourney... you are a little tired. I think Ill sleep this one off and talk tomorrow but I will say this:

CARBON IS THE MAN! POD BOY / CAMERA MAN EXTRODINARE!

[Steelrat]

Dont leave us hanging!!!! How did you do!!?!?!?!?!

[Z-man]

oh yeah sorry.

Short answer- we did not win first 2nd or 3rd. We were 10 points away from the semi finals.

Longer answer- WE HAD A FREAKING BLAST! I had no idea what to expect but Carbon can tell you all more as he did as much work and probably more than most of our team. The reffing was excellent in general, the teams were honest and the field was small but well balanced. Carbon taped all but our first game and I just watched it to see it all. GREAT JOB MAN!

Anyhow, I think we won 5 of the 8 games points-wise and dominated 3 of those games. There were 21 teams out there and it was VERY fast paced. Our first game lasted around a minute. Ill compose my thoughts tomorrow and perhaps put in a few clips on my site so people can check it out.

Thank you all again for all the work in making this possible.

Im glad your experience was better than mine. Maybe there is hope, after all.

Good job Zak!

Ahh yes, the days after AO Days, what can i say Aleeve and beer? Once again, a posterior kicking good time made possible by the Norcal Ao cats. So here my big up and downs.

Big ups:

Aegis-for getting the ball rolling on Norcal AO Day. Thanx to the Millin family for putting up with Zman's and my stink for 2 days. They are good people. Thnx to Mrs. Aegis for the pasghetti and laundry, next stop Kareoke Train!

Zman- thanx for the ride and the tourney "experience". Once again, great Zman energy all the way through. That president game was a sight to behold, mad props for 50+ Vs 1.

All the AO folks who made it to the field.

CableDawg - One of these day im gonna have to make it to a scenario game, seismic detectors, Night vision oh man...

EatemAlive: It was great meeting you for the first time. We are sitting at the pball store getting paint, then this fella turns and goes "you guys from AO?" and all our eyes light up! handshakes and greetings. Priceless. Thanx for taking those "action" pics for me. Big time props for doin AO Day hours before a hockey game. You are true baller!

-Brakdancing Ryan
-Great weather, its like god loves AO'ers and wants us to ball. The clouds did part.
-Killer fields, although no air ball, the Hyper pipe fields are awesome.
-Sliding into doo doo mud, i havent been that much fun being dirty since 12yrs old. Apparently the field was formerly a corn field, i guess the rains just brought the fertilizer flavor back.
-Hootyooo!
-Being pod boy for Zmans teams at the tourney. gave me a chance to see fast paced, small field action. The whole time im video taping i wanted to do slides, run throughs and yell "G's".
-Nice Scenery on the drive up.
-Run throughs
-The AO Vibe.
-Free Fries with my drink.
-Guiness, Coors, Sam Adams...what agreat bunch of guys
-DPB sessions

Big downs

-Doo Doo mud. Although playing in the mud was fun,it would of been funner without the stench.

-the car ride back in Zman's now doo doo mud laced air freshner.

-Cleaning off doo doo mud, if there was a human size dish wares i would have been in it.

-getting bunkered. While crawling in the snake and being rash i crawled too far up, then, kapowww.

-Getting bouces while trying to bunker soemone. Had the drop and all, needless to say i payed in full.

-$2.00 a gallon for 89.

-Bunker collapse. I have this special talent of getting behind bunkers that magicaly unroot themselves.

well thats all for now. Some Pics should be up soon. Once again, Thanx yall!

hey
wut can i say except that was the most fun in the mud ive had since i was just a kid (well i guess i am still a kid but wut ever).
Zak i bow down and kiss ur feet. even though that might be gross, but one heck of a man this guy is let me tell ya.

Highlights:
-Zak taking the total amount of pain
-Mike letting me use his Mighty Mag as we know it by.
-Rick for letting me use his mech cocker.
-Uncle Brian for picking me up, and letting me crash at your house.
-The great amount of time playing DPB
-The "my new RT Pro is the best"
-Great refs
-Awesome slides
-witnessing Carbon's superman
The two boxes of Mountain Mikes pizza totally demolished

Lows:
-The massive amounts of puddles
-The air guys not knowing how much air was in ur tank(dumb guys only filled it to 2250 every time.)
-Having to put a one metric ton hot yub into Ageis' back yard, then not being able to sit in it and relax in the heat.

But all in all i had the time of my life.
Anyone or anything i forgot sorry.
It was nice meeting all of you and will hope to see you at Valley Thunder (our next AO day supposply)

[Eatem Alive]

hey carbon, you gonna post them pictures?

[Aegis]

A few thoughts on the day:

Thank god the weather cleared. I was sweating it, having talked everyone into driving out to east egypt to play. Thanks for making the trip, it was nice to get you all to our home field.

Geting shot in the side by Dutch every time I got to the 50 was a bit irritating, considering how rarely I make it that far. At one point he shot me in the back, he was so far up the field.

It was fun trying to lane in the morning while it was really muddy. You get a lot more hits when people are tiptoing through the slop.

Having Zman and Carbon as houseguests was interesting, my wife was a helluva sport when she got 4 muddy, paint-covered fools coming home instead of the usual 2. We did a lot of laundry and gun cleaning that night to make sure Zman hit the field in style. Finished in time for them to get 4 hours of sleep, even. Of course that ran late because I wouldn't let them back in the house until we got the jacuzzi unloaded. Thanks for the help, that was a lifesaver.

I still think they should have let the entire AO crew be bodyguards.

The pics are currently with Aegis and LPB. So go ahead and load em up guys.

[Aegis]

Forgot about those, here you go.

Everyone thinking "Rain, Rain, Go Away"



Carbon laid in the mud to get this shot - left to right it is LPB's feet, me, Blennidae, Dutch, Mighty Mike and ?



Carbon in the mud along the tape



Eatem Alive working the snake



Steelrat shows grace under fire - see the guy at the 50?



My favorite shot - during the "headshot only" game. After a little while of this I could see Zaust's barrel sticking around the corner. Eric saved Zaust from certain death by gogging me from the snake at that moment. "The Wall" could bring you into some up close and personal moments.



And last but not least, a small part of Zman's welt collection:



The originals are a whole lot bigger, let me know if you want one.
