Up the BUML Round 5 - Bart the General

You all seem to be enjoying the attention the BUB is now lavishing on the Monday night Brisbane Mixed Ultimate League, so let’s release JdR from the Room of Retirement once again to offer his views.

Borag Thungg BUMLets! It is I, JdR the ever-generous-with-time, here again to support you in your daily battle against thrill-suckers by previewing the upcoming round of BUML. And what a round we have in store before going into the mid-season break. We’ve even been told to leave space for tips from our editor droid Danbot. So let’s get into it!

Dyspnoeics v Discheads – Griffith 1

It’ll be nothing but action Action ACTION as the mouth-breathers take on the flatskulls. Even as we type these words the vibrations from this game are throbbing back through TIME ITSELF to rock the keyboard, so apologies if there are any mistooks.

Danbot’s tip: Cock-Rock by 4

Starlight v Griffith Oh Yeahs – Griffith 2

Last week’s little bit of rain in the afternoon demonstrated the differences between the scrotnig and nonscrot Ultimate players, with several teams light on for numbers, and none moreso than the Griffith Oh Yeahs who for the first time ever had less than seventy-dozen on the sideline (mostly thanks to some laziness we guess from the Athlea St Irregulars). Still, those who were there were properly thankful as they got themselves a real solid run, what with having barely any subs and all. Will this change this week against the mightly-upbeat Starlight, who must fancy their chances. Yes, it’s the motley blacks vs the motley whites, with never a dull moment.

Tsunami v Griffith Go-Go’s – Griffith 3

The Griffith Go-Go’s move onto the unfamiliar territory of Griffith 3, but this is the uphill end of the Griffith AFL field so this should help against the rampaging Tsunami. Here in the Command Module its getting harder and harder to sort out games like this in our nonetheless high domed heads, so we’re plugging for a close one. Can the Go-Go’s get a third win in a row, for the first time ever?

Danbot’s tip: Nuclear Disaster's by 6.... actually, it's 7

Mellow Yellow v Heroes – Annerley 3A

According to some reports following last week’s game, the Heroes have been considering continuing what might be called a NYNY approach to Spirit of the Game. They’ll find this difficult this week though, coming up against the frequently intoxicated Mellow Yellow squad who love nothing more than a chance to laugh.

Poachers v Plastic Scourgery – Annerley 3B

This is the battle of the hottest dudes in Brisbane Ultimate - Dusty vs Dan. I’m still totally bummed not to be in their division – just being in the reflection of their zarjaz glow makes me feel even more impressive than I already am. It’s LD droidette Adilia’s birthday soon too, so we anticipate the Scourgeons offering the appropriate gifts.

Baby Chimis v Ghost Who Walks – Annerley 5A

Purple and red are colours that do not normally mix so well together, however these teams are full of intensity and are ready to let loose the artistic approach to flying disc sports that they are famous for.

Agent Orange v Disc-iples – Annerley 5B

The relentless march towards an Orange future continues, with the fusion jazz of Adults Only looking likely to sweep the endearing Disc-iples aside with ease.

Wuxi v Bermuda Triangle – UQ 7A

The lights were on Wednesday night, so maybe after last Monday’s hassle the UQ Oval 7 will be once again ready to handle the non-stop-thrill-power that is Ultimate as demonstrated by some of its greatest practitioners (at least in this galaxy), Wuxi and Bermuda Triangle. Although Geoff has been playing Ultimate on this grass for something like 20 years or so, these day’s its Kaitlin, Julz and Pallen’s backyard, bbq area and outdoor thunderbox.

JdR the Universal’s tip: Wuxi by 7

What the Huck v QUTies – UQ 7B

Rounding out the round, Hammertime becomes What the Huck, just in time to take on UQ team, the QUTies. Confused? Don’t be.

JdR the Not-Trevor’s tip: QUTies by 4.

Danbot’s tip: ERROR!

And that's it. Splundig Vur Thrigg!
