Mankato Tournament Report
Purple Reign played in the Mankato indoor, our first game starting shortly after 1 AM on saturday morning with session 1 ending at 5 AM. We then played from 10:50pm on Saturday to roughly 2 AM Sunday morning.
Short Story: Purple Reign won it's first ever tournament victory over a field of 7 other teams with a record of 5-0. We topped Hamline, St. Olaf B, Eau Claire (twice), and Macalester. Rock.
Long Story:
We opened against St. Olaf B with very few real highlights. Our play was generally flat and listless, but it was also 1 AM. SOB ran hard and took us to half yet we proved we are truly a second half team by getting our groove and pulling out a win at the last minute. I forget the final score. It was really close.
Our second game of the morning was Macalester's Blue Monkeys. Vengeance was in the eyes of Reign, as we revisited our defeat at the Fall '07 MacTommie. Shortly after the start, there was a fall, a cry, and a stoppage of play. Our smiling brother was laying on the ground and not smiling, for he had fractured his collarbone. We dispatched Emergency Contact Smokey with ambulance noise action to hustle Smiles to the Mankato hospital. Reign then vowed to win for Smiles. And we did. Our feet were swift, our decisions smart, and our handlers chilly. Rock. St. Thomas 2, bad guys 0.
The third game was expected to be our most challenging, squaring off against UW Eau Claire's Eau-zones. We went down two immediately. We eventually figured things out, got ourselves back together and focused and went on to win our pool opposite Mankato (who was at this time also undefeated).
Reigns fourth game, the first of the second session, we played a near savage Hamline. Hamline really caught us off balance and forced us to really use our depth and every advantage we could get. We came from behind for the win, but boy was it close...
Fifth, and championship game, was against Eau Claire again, who came to us fresh off a win over Mankato's Blue Skunks. It was a pretty intense game, lots of long points, lots of hucks, massive D's by both teams, all in all, it was a damn good game. It came down to Eau Claire being up 12-10, and us fighting back to 12-12, Universe Point. Reign started on D, and put the pressure on immediately. Our final possession, we used our Corvette to Louis for the win.This was Purple Reigns first tournament victory. Hopefully the first in a string of many more.

Duluth MLK - Tournament Report
We headed to Duluth for the MLK Indoor tournament.
We started the day with 10 players against a considerably larger Ugly Ducklings squad. We came out strong and made an impressive showing, taking both half and the game 13 to God knows what.
St. Thomas then went against Mankato and lost pretty badly. We came out flat and I think we used too much energy on the previous game. Mankato took both half and the game.
Next up was Duluth's Northern Lights. They won.
After a break we played the Hopkins Hurt. It was a pretty competitive game, and very hucky at that. One thing about this game (and I know they're reading ;] ) is that I lost my composure for a bit. It was a long time coming and regrettably it happened this game. I just wanted to say that it had nothing to do with Hopkins, and I hope my behavior in that instance doesn't reflect poorly against St. Thomas. My apologies.
Monday we played two games. I slept through monday because my team decided to not come to the party and tell me when we were playing.
they started with Hamline, and lost.
then they played the Ducklings again, and lost. That's about all the info I've got. My guess is that we lost this game because we had 8 players to their like...20.
That's all folks,
Frogger

Purple Reign 2007 - A year in review
As 2007 draws to a close, and my final looms ever closer (t minus 4 hours) I'd like to take the time to procrastinate and reflect upon what we've accomplished this year.
This fall we opened with a strong showing of rookie players. They managed to match or surpass the number of veteran players that showed for the first few practices. Both Reign and the Plenties doubled in size within about 2 weeks.
Late September we made our debut at the Hucktoberfest tournament in Whitewater, Wi. We ended the weekend with a 4 -3 record, topping teams such as Eau Claire, Beloit, and Michigan Tech. A respectable start, in my opinion. I also bought a fuzzy purple hat.
Early October (I believe the 5th and 6th?) we went to a small Duluth tournament and fielded two teams, X-Boyfriends and Yesus. Saturday morning in Duluth was both cold and windy, X beat Eden Prairie High School, and Y lost to Duluth in a blowout. X proceeded to play Bemidji while Y had a bye and generally just sat around or played hot box. X beat Bemidji 15 -3. Y then played Platteville, and X played St. Johns. We figured out that if we both lost, we could play each other, so naturally, we threw the games (we got beat).
The X vs Y game was extremely dysfunctional, but Y eventually topped X.
Sunday, everyone went home except for 15 of us, so we played savage with one sub running in between the two teams, and later we came together to form one team and beat platteville who we had previously lost to and put up a good fight against Duluth. I feel this was some of the best ultimate we had played all season.
Mid-October saw us in Northfield, again as a split squad. Y opened Saturday with games against CUT, Wisconsin and an open club. X played the other CUT team and a few others. We lost all of them. Sunday, Y won the only game of the tournament for either St. Thomas teams against Lawrence. The underclassmen really manifested their potential this tournament with Jason I'mnotafreshman making some good deep cuts for X, while Soccer stepped up and handled for Y.
Late October was Hollowinona, and truth be told, I don't remember very much of it, but I don't think we did well. We were dressed as construction workers and had our picture put in the newspaper.
----------------------------------------------
Looking forward, we plan on attending High Tide again this year as well as a handful of other spring tournaments. You can expect a fit, efficient, potentially winning, St. Thomas club in the spring series.
Happy now?
