1996 Blue Ox- chilly/trash

There was a lot of excitement in minneapolis as usual starting the season in 1996. Buddha Boys were now of the past and a new team was starting to take shape. It was to be headed by Dan "Turbo" Turlow and David Boardman. They sent out an email indicating that they were intent on building a winning team. A goal of nationals was laid out. Then they moved away. Dave to chicago and Dan....Atlanta I think. We had already started try-outs and there were about 40 guys out to make this minneapolis squad. A power vacuum was created and out of this a certain Grady Hannah and Wade Bove became captains. If I could pick two less stable guys, I would really struggle. They named the team Blue-Ox. Their offense was formed and it was called "the wobbly H." I dropped out and played for the basically B-squad team trash along with a few of my former chill buddies and brother Tony. We named the team Chilly-Trash. We played the local tournament aquatennial (beating CUT was our best win) and sectionals which was in Winona that year. A bunch of the old trash guys came out to play sectionals, and it became a bit of a spirit fest. Excuse me while I wipe the vomit from the keyboard. We got crushed by most teams. In the end, I went over to hang out with Ryder, (who formed a rag-tag older guy team, ) on the sidelines of Blue-ox vs Madison, drank beer and heckled. Madison had broken up into a college team and club team, so ended up not having enough guys to beat Ox. Blue ox goes on to win sectionals and not make nationals(the story of minneapolis ultimate to form).
