The title of this post gives it away and is a bit harsh, but once something vaguely amusing enters our heads here at stately BUB mansion, well, we just roll with it.
Many of you readers will be aware that SuperJonGoodMan, the BPL's current paranormally powered and much loved League Director, is putting aside the clipboard come the end of this season.
Alas, despite lots of calls, nobody has stuck their hand up to take on the role.
It could be one of those "I"m just a simple Ultimate guy and I don't think I could do it" things - in which case we can only get Barack Obama on your arse and say "YES YOU CAN!" and finish this post. We all respect and appreciate anyone who volunteers in Ultimate, and everyone will help!
But maybe it's one of those "keep quiet and somebody else will do it" things.
When this happens, then one option is for self-proclaimed moral arbiters like this blog to construct a half-assed case and point some fingers hoping for a response*.
So here goes!
Think about the current and previous BPL Directors of the last few years, and the teams they play on:
- Jon Good (Rawhide)
- Andy Lankowski (Dojo Mojo)
We should add in Shawn Robb and Jason de Rooy, both of Rawhide, and Dan Blacklock of Dojo who've covered weeks here and there when the LDs have been away.
Beginning to see a pattern here? Where are the UQ and Bugger players helping to run the League? Aren't they the biggest Clubs?
Now, we're inclined to let UQ slide, as they already run a League themselves., over in St Lucia on Wednesdays.
Which leaves us with the Buggers.
So perhaps the Bugs can have a chat amongst themselves this week and see if there's someone who'll take up the torch.
*You know I know and everyone knows that there's tonnes of Bugger players who've done tonnes for Queensland Ultimate aside from providing an LD for BPL :) so there's no real bagging intended! Really, this post is just about reminding people we need a new League Director, and trying to do it in an entertaining and humourish manner through a faux outrage and finger pointing exercise!

Jason Ray is a former BPL league director.
Oh yeah, but that was a while ago (although same with Stew). But what's a proper moral indignation without some ignorance of some facts!? ;)
It should be UQ's turn. They are a bunch of do-nothing students anyways.
I think I'm guna do it. There you go, Buggers in the clear.
to be honest most of us have many other projects(Not all). Mike has KG cougars and other commitments, Wet Firestorm treasurer(although pretty quiet atm), Myself(QUT), Spinner(mansfield), Jimmy drives too far then the rest of Messy are mainly begginers. Slippery I dont know but there arent many of us there each week so probably not too reliable.
i mean i could do it but i do like having some time to myself.
Well I wana officially put my hand up to say that I wana do it, but I'm not sure who to talk to about this. I've told Jon but is there someone else I should talk to?
JDR ...
If you'd paid attention at the start of the season, you'd know that Jon has already had multiple offers from people to run the league.
I know of at least 2 without Wetnose.
Gref,If you'd spoken to Jon recently you would know that he only has one other person who was still interested and that person was a bit iffy about doing it.
JdR,
That disclaimer was a bit of a cop out. Nothing like a bit of controversy. If they say something to you, at least you know they read the blog!
Better respond to a few of these.
To Gref - I don't know about the start of the season when I spoke to Jon a few days ago we didn't have anyone committed.
To Simon - well, yeah, the disclaimer was because there's always someone who reads it wrong. I could've written a lame "will someone please volunteer" thing that we so often see in email. But I figured I'd have a go at being *entertaining*.
And really, its just easy to call out the Buggers! They're such top fellas and all.
