About a year ago a 58 year old dude who has coached for 30 years asked why I called it “person D.” I gave him a 30 second explanation.
Today I heard his HS boy’s team yell “we person, we person!”
Told my class about winning Nationals.
Kid raises hand: “So, like are you the best team in the state?”
Poor kid gets mocked with everyone saying “NATIONALS BRUH”
So glad I did not have to explain why we have never won Sectionals, and cannot claim state champs.
Brought a very outgoing friend to her first frisbee tournament and she went to all the parties.
“I didn’t know wearing a Mixtape jersey would be such a cock block. They really hate y’all.”
Khalif Appreciation Thread:
This may come as a shock, but the account
@SeattleMixtape
believes Khalif is deserving of representing us on Team USA as one of the best 14 frisbee players in the country.
A contract has been signed. It has now been tweeted. We must hold her accountable 8 years from now.
If she is on a mixed masters team, I get a roster spot.
Just saw that USAU commercial.
Dom Fontenette has a solid decade left.
She hasn’t even reached the “🙋🏽♀️ I’ll handle!” stage of aging frisbee players.
She is the greatest.
Throwing yesterday in Seattle, while another dad and son were tossing a frisbee. As they leave, they come up to us.
Dad: “y’all play for a club team?”
Me: “yea, a coed team, Mixtape”
Son: “I’ve heard of a lot of teams, but not that one”
Well darn.
Anyone else remember the 1st time they did a breakmark drill, and Cap’n is yelling “talk to the mark”
Everyone keeps saying round and inside.
So when it’s your turn to talk you just throw the words out hoping you’re close.
“Round, Round inside, rounded inside, Round and Round”
Boys of Mixtape vs Gentleman of
@SeattleSockeye
best of 9, goalti battle.
5-3 Mixtape.
Might be time we start questioning the legitimacy of this men’s division. 🤔
Coaching 8th grade boys I've been yelling "you're the woman!" when they show toughness, to their extreme dismay.
Yesterday, minute left, kid gets an incredible offensive rebound and put back to tie the game. Point guard from mid court screams:
"That's a woman's rebound!!!"
Oh and I just remembered. Y'all might think Khalif had a good year, triple peak and all (which doesn't even include Bozofest).
He has been getting a Masters in Business this whole time too!!!
I had no idea how much we coddle these Callahan nominees.
Friend spends hours compiling your best moments from college onto one highlight that 1,000s watch.
And no one lets ppl have a little fun at your expense.
Sports are fun, have some.
Marathon world record:
pace for women: 77 seconds/lap
pace for men: 70/lap
Get 4 friends (any gender ratio) relay around track 1 lap at a time, and see how long you can keep up with WR holder.
We lasted 8 miles today.

I fucking love
@SeattleRiot
and
@SeattleSockeye
it’s unconditional love. Whether you win or lose y’all are bad ass and so damn good. Thanks for cheering us on.
Offseason AGEUp Fundraiser!
Cam Bailey/Brad Houser vs National Champion Trent Dillon/Dylan Freechild.
What we need? $500 to make it happen, all proceeds going to AGEUp.
Like this if you would donate $2, and if you would donate more, reply with how much.
Without tryouts in 2014 we threw a team together (and lost in finals 😞 and ate brownies 😞 😞 ).
8 years later we still got TEN (DrewJ and Jen not pictured) people from that original team. Now we world champions.
So
@USAUltimate
this how Seattle looks every dang day from about June 17th until September 17th.
Those dates include the time Colorado Cup has all the delays.
Also, includes when YCC has this Co-Champs (Bankroll, that’s y’all’s ‘ship)
AND IT INCLUDES TODAY!!!
Since we talking about 2014 this might be my all-time fave play.
EK in a nutshell
Leaf with the flattop and athletic dominance, then was so hyped he blew the gimme (“to their chest!!!”) but TK saves him.
On this day in 2014 a 12 seed shocked some folks, won a semis game, and forced our friends
@SAVAGEultimate
to make 27 cotton T jerseys in 16 hours.
Oh and some people had a very special celebration dessert.
In 2017 and 18 we played AMP 8 times went 5-3 with a +2 total score differential.
We each beat each other in a National Final (theirs was a lot more decisive 😬)
3 games went to Universe
We play them Friday for the first time since losing 15-8 in the 2018 title game.
I’ll sheepishly dip my toe in.
How does
@spaceheaterulti
or
@SnakeCountry
success ruin legitimacy?
You don’t think
@PhillyAMP
is an all-star team?
Idk, am I missing something? If you’re good, you are good. AMP could split up and make damn good men’s/women’s teams.
THREAD ON THE MYTH OF CANNABIS POTENCY
US Surgeon General says cannabis is 3x stronger now than in the 90s.
"This ain't your mother's marijuana. Not enough people know that today's marijuana is far more potent than in days' past."
-US Surgeon General Dr Jerome Adams.
I mean this so whole heartedly:
If you ever refreshed a USAU page, checked a twitter account, asked on Monday, tuned into a stream, tried out, sent a buck, followed, given a high 5, or at any point wondered “how Mixtape doing?” we are so dang appreciative.
Thanks y’all.
New frisbee rule:
Contests are abolished. All calls are final.
But, if you disagree you get to look right in the eye of the person making the call, get nice and close, and tell ‘em “you are fucking soft.”
What happens when your entire Ultimate Frisbee team is stoned? Might I suggest watching the first episode of
#BillNyeSavesTheWorld
Season Two on
@Netflix
to to find out...
🦆
@USAUltimate
, 🦆 the coaches, and 🦆 all the Lexi haters. I’ve been stewing on this awhile and I’m pissed off Lexi is not trying out for Team USA. She won’t say it so I will. Hope she’s not mad about my rant.
It’s a mistake for USAU not to count WUCC in regular season. It would compound the mistake to not count it for Nationals seeding.
But, 🦆 it we’ve made finals as an 8 and 12 seed. I’d love to try as a 16th seed.
Every year I do one measly day of Ramadan with Khalif, it is cool to read up on the reasons why people fast, here was one:
"a way to become more compassionate to those in need"
Anyways, wish me luck, Khalif and the rest of the people that do 30 days are incredible.
Got a FaceTime from this house, (best and most uncomfortable 2 and a half minutes of my day). It’s everything you’d expect: mimosas at 8:42 am, beautiful people walking around topless, and the old guy was in a bathrobe reading the newspaper.
Khalif is the reason Seattle Mixtape is thriving. He’s the reason people want to play with us, and the reason I want to keep playing.
It is very comfortable walking on the field knowing we got the best player.
