Blogging Is for the Neanderthals, But What the Heck

... at least as far as the Australian University Games goes this week.

Everyone's following twitter.

Best of luck to our three Queensland teams:

• The Queensland University of Technology QUTies. Roster. Go QUTies.

Simmo's comments: QUT are a bit far removed from the glory days of Mike Neild, Beth Rougier and some kids called Wetnose and Jangles, but they have a enthusiastic and energetic team that learned a lot at the 2008 event. With the addition of Firestorm's Reece Stewart, they should factor in the top few.

Our comments: Any team with Jangles as a dedicated non-playing manager is sure to be well juiced and fed. Expect them to win quite a few in Div 2.

• The Griffith University GUerillas. Roster. Boo yah sic boom schmoke that pancake GUerillas!

Simmo's comments: Moving north now, we come to locals Griffith Uni. After two years languishing around the bottom of the table, 2009 has seen the sport establish a strong foothold in the Gold Coast and the squad should have a lot more depth than before. Joining stalwarts Mike and Terri Morgan this year are Tatiana Maya and Tom "Cupcake" Tulett who will give them the handling experience they missed sorely last year when Stefan Rappazzo went back to the Land Of The Moose. Whether they have a structured set-up, or just let Cupcake run loose and keep out of his way, will remain to be seen.

Our comment: Home team, drinks hardest. If they take you home, know you're probably not having to share a room with some team-mates.

• The University of Queensland Ultimate Lovers. Here's the roster. Yeah Lovers.

Simmo's comments from his 23 team preview: And now to look at the team that science has proved cannot survive in temperatures below 22 degrees Celsius - UQ Lovers. Like 2007, they enter the tournament as an early favourite led by John McNaughton. It will be fairly predictable of them to, in crunch times, get the disc to John or Al Don who will jack it at Will Churchill or Julian Sacre. However Megan Barnes and Blair Sheard will provide good reason for them to stop looking off their girls. Provided everyone stays fit they should be playing off for some bling on Friday.

Our comment: Senior representatives from the stately Brisbane Ultimate Blog mansion have set aside their Friday to go down to the fields, and expect to see UQ playing ....
