Warm Up: A Florida Affair

Jojah heads to Tampa this weekend to play some good ultimate teams and work on their tan.


Warm Up is a round robin tournament comprised of several teams with legitimate goals of playing on Sunday at Nationals this season.


Saturday's Schedule


University of South Florida 8:00
Wisconsin 10:30
Pittsburgh 1:00
Carleton College 3:30
Florida 6:00


Same as any tournament Jojah competes in this season, it is important for the team to get positive results against out of region competition. Wisconsin and Carleton were last year's National's Finalists and Pitt finished a modest fifth place, so they provide a legitimate measuring stick for Jojah early in this season.


You can follow live updates on twitter tomorrow, or check the score reporter and see how the tournament is playing out.

Joint Summit 2012

At the end of a long winter holiday filled with family, friends, food, and track workouts, Jojah is packing the bags and getting in the cars to make the soggy hour and a half drive to Clemson, SC for this year's Joint Summit. 


Saturday
Jojah has been awarded the two seed overall in the tournament, so pool play looks like this for the Dawgs:


8:30 Clemson B
10:15 SUNY-Buffalo
1:45 Liberty
3:30 Florida State


Important things this weekend


Bids for Regionals- Although this is the first tournament of the season and blah blah blah, these games matter. A lot. For reference as to how important getting bids for your region can be, see Jojah's second place finish last year at Regionals and subsequent absence from Nationals.


Weather- It's going to rain. Probably a lot. This gives Jojah the opportunity to show some mettle and get it done in the mud and the yuck.

Saturday's Forecast...

You can get up to date information on the team's progress from our twitter and tournament scores and information from the score reporter.

Georgia Jojahs Place Second at D-I Southeast Regionals

There was a seriousness Sunday at regionals. Jojah was backed up against the wall and needed to win all their games to keep the season alive.

Wide open lines were called throughout the first three games and the culmination of months of hard work ran roughshod over feisty LSU, Alabama, and Tennessee squads.

The finals against Florida is a game that no member of this years team will ever forget.

Thanks to all of our fans and supporters for a great season.

Georgia loses four members of their team to graduation this year:

Michael Slade (5 year player)

Josh "Birdo" Lowell (5 year player)

Matthew Bailey (4 year player)

Michael Young (rookie)

Jojah works hard together so that they can play hard for each other. Our graduates will be missed.

Note: This post will be expanded tomorrow after a certain blogger gets done with a final he hasn't started studying for.
