Nation,
Furious George was featured on a local CTV news show, and the report was picked up by the national network. Flowerbowl 2009 was mentioned in the lead in.
This is no means the tipping point for ultimate frisbee in the media, but I found it to be a solid piece. Morgan Hibbert and Nick Menzies gave solid interviews. The scrimmage shown didn't have separate teams and jerseys (giving it a pick up/unorganized look) but few teams could demonstrate the game's skills as well as the Monkey.
Nice job boys... and I hope Flowerbowl is a huge hit.

Two years ago, another site had power rankings for open teams. I'm not sure if he is doing it this year, but do you (the readers) of this blog want me to have weekly/montly ranking of open/womens/coed teams leading up to nationals?
What should be the basis of the rankings. Head to Head? Total wins? Major Tournament finishes?
As you cna imagine, I'll need regional help/suggestions in order to make the rankings accurate. Let me know if you think it is a good idea.

The game shown was the Flowerbowl semi-final between "George" (half the FG roster) and "BeefShark." The latter was comprised of largely TFP men, plus various UBC players + friends -- hence the lack of consistent uniforms.
What happen with firebird ? So far, they are not in boston, Mtl and CUC !
Firebird is on hiatus for this year :(
