Subtitle: IAUA's Fall Ultimate Frisbee League plays under the
lights at Union Field. We had a game last night, Friday October 14, 2016.
I had a new tripod for my camera that I wanted to try out. Thus,
some pictures. It was in the 40s, so people were semi-bundled up.
The teams all have Halloween/Horror/Ultimate names. Our team was
Horror Flicks, and we were playing the Zone Zombies.
The other two teams were Frankenstein's Monster D and the
Man-D, Candy Corn.
The game was close. We traded the lead a few times. Towards the end
it was tied at 14-14, with the game to 15, but because of the limited
time left, it became a universe point (i.e., next point wins the
game, instead of win by 2). It was very close, that last point took
several minutes with both teams coming close to scoring. We did win,
but it easily could have gone to either team. It was a fun game.
000-DSC_9657: Not quite a full moon, but close, rising over the clocktower
at Cornell.
001-DSC_9658: An almost full moon over Cornell.
002-DSC_9659: The lights have just been turned on. Shadowy figures can
be seen moving in the field, becoming active.
003-DSC_9660: The lights start to get brighter.
004-DSC_9661: Note that there's a shadow image of someone in front
of the soccer net, and there's an arc above him tracing the path
of an unseen, spectral frisbee.
005-DSC_9662: Photographic proof that the Spirit of Min haunts the fields.
Either that or she jumped in front of the camera during a long exposure.
006-DSC_9663: The players receive a briefing on the night's activities.
007-DSC_9664:
008-DSC_9665: Paul, Jeff, Smeri, Kenji, Zeb, Emily on the line for Horror
Flicks.
009-DSC_9666: Paul pulls to the Zombies (i.e., the kickoff).
010-DSC_9668: The Zombies wander the field, looking for brains.
In the background is the boathouse for the rowing teams, sitting
across the Inlet, and across Route 89.
011-DSC_9670:
012-DSC_9674: Jeff, Sarah, and MIKE line up on the far side.
013-DSC_9676: Paul, Kenji, and Zeb ready to pull again.
014-DSC_9677: Val tries valiantly not to say the b-word
while Jeff tells her she's better than that, better than a zombie.
015-DSC_9678: Deepak visualizes being one iwth the dis, while Emily...um,
I can't think of something silly to say.
016-DSC_9679: Jeff has a simple plan he's telling Taylor, while she
and Wally watch the other team score.
017-DSC_9680: I need a caption for this. It needs to have Niki's
frustration and regret for not telling Garret something. Perhaps,
"Damn it...if only I had told him his fly was open, I could
have scored that point!" The framing of the shot was intentional,
I thought it looked cool.
018-DSC_9681: Kenji walks back while Jeff and Zeb wait at the line.
019-DSC_9682: Niki and Emily, on the line, on the far side of the field.
020-DSC_9683: Action shot: Emily throws the disk.
021-DSC_9684: Action shot: Paul throws the disk past Piers.
022-DSC_9685: Action shot: The force of Emily's throw stretches the disc.
023-DSC_9687: The game going on the other field, including ??, Min, Elani,
??, Match, and Apples.
024-DSC_9689: Elani cuts towards Min, while Lena marks and Hanna covers deep.
025-DSC_9690: Min has the disc while Lena marks her.
026-DSC_9691: Colleen and Micah stare on thinking, "Was I supposed
to be guarding that player?"
027-DSC_9692: Paul, Sarah, Piers, Smeri, Deepak, Zeb, and Jeff. Note that
Jeff has correctly identified Zeb.
028-DSC_9693: Alijah throws while Jeff defends and Garret is open on
the break side.
029-DSC_9694: Val couldn't stop Taylor from catching a point in the endzone.
030-DSC_9695: Kenji want to throw a hammer while Alijah tries to prevent him.
Kenji is at corner of the field, as the previous play had gone out of bounds.
031-DSC_9696: Since Garret can't be taller than Paul, he tries to be
wider.
032-DSC_9697: Apparently Garret's defense work, and Paul swings the disc
to Zeb.
033-DSC_9699: Morgan has the disc while Jeff guards him and Kenji makes
a cut.
034-DSC_9700: The game is over.
035-DSC_9701:
036-DSC_9702: The other game ends too and as is the new tradition, the
two teams form a spirit circle.
037-DSC_9703: The other two teams in a spirit circle (with Lucus eyeing
Apples with suspicion).
038-DSC_9705: Spirit circle in the background and Paul appears.
039-DSC_9706: He sees the camera.
040-DSC_9707: No ... wait ... he can't be ...
041-DSC_9708: Oh god, no, he's heading right for us!
042-DSC_9709: Run, run while you can! Save yourselves!
043-DSC_9710: Oh the horror! The Horror Flicks!!!
044-DSC_9711: People cleaning up after the game.
045-DSC_9712:
