Yes - that's right. There's no need for us to waffle on about frisbee this week, thanks to a young chap by the name of Alex (of UQ Passion fame, we believe) who happened to be spending his bye week spectating the Dojo v Cobras clash. Oh - by the way Alex, if you happen to be reading this could you let us know what you did with all the mini DVDs? Wetnose really wants to see the footage of his (failed) layout, so please get in touch.
Anyway, there was one DVD with 20 minutes worth of footage on it still in the camera when we returned to the Dojo Gardens late Thursday night, so we can now present most of the second half of the game, kicked off by a sensational 75 metre flick huck to score from Pete Allen.
Oh, and we've also experimented with a soundtrack for a bit of extra Dojo Way ambience this time (language warnings all round...). We've chosen some vintage Ice Cube (hi Jad), and for all those Gen Z Cobras out there, you'll note that Mr Cube mentions the year of 1993 in his opening line of rap. Because a large contingent of the BPL youth were quite possibly still in nappies at this point, we feel obliged to add that this 1993 recording followed on from Tone Loc's assertion that "'88 was great, but '89 is mine", after which 1990 was "time for the Guru". Around this time, a small cohort of young LA chaps formed a rap group called NWA, and after saying some very unkind things about their local constabulary they quickly went their separate ways. Ice Cube was one of these Compton lads, and he went on to a stellar solo career (where he also said some very unkind things about not only the law enforcement fraternity, but also his former collaborators). Feel free to let us know if you find this entertaining or just plain annoying:
What can we add to that? It's pretty obvious that many of the young Cobras are simply not on the same page as their teammates, with lots of passes going astray or straight into Dojo hands. From our point of view it's also comforting to see the Dojo roll that game in with plenty to spare, even though we were missing a third of our roster. Probably not so great from the Cobra pit, but hopefully they'll be using this, and other recent results (someone say "Heroes"?), as motivation to start realising their great potential.
There's a fresh Above&Beyond poll ready for voting on the right.

Love the Video action Steve.
ReplyDeleteI especially love the part at the end where Alex shows the scoreboard then ten seconds later the score is shown on the screen wrong!
ReplyDeleteIce cube has some stamina!
Love the return of the video - just a shame about the quality of the ultimate... (though it was ok in some parts, to be fair)
ReplyDeleteUh I think I left them near the scoreboard or something. I put the used one in the case of the one in the camera. I swear I told you they were there...
ReplyDeletekeep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alex and Mike.
ReplyDeleteJulz you should've seen the first half. Jack I noticed that typo after uploading the video to youtube, a process that takes all friggin night via rural "broadband". Just pretend I got it right.
And Reece - thanks for the encouragement & all, but you've just wasted 5 precious words here that would've been put to much better use over on your Cobras blog, don't you think??? And no, the same does not apply to Mike.
