2015 Summer League Predictions presented by Killa Cam

[Cam Wow]

1) Yellow

Casey and Wax will lead a Zone Defense that will go down in the FDA history books. On offense, expect this team to be forced backhand due to dirty.....filthy.....flicks. Last summer league I heard a woman say she hates getting guarded by Kat Thacker, and that she is the most aggressive and physical woman she's ever played against. If you're a woman, and new to ultimate, Kat Thacker is someone to watch and imitate. She shows you how to go 100% on the field.

2) Royal Blue

At first glace you might say "How did Andrea get LMac/LBrew?"
At second glance you might see that LMac isn't attending very often (I guess they have a shot at the spirit award after all).
At third glance you will see the guys, and say "How did Andrea get Jones, Pat, Jacob, T-Rav and Barry Hart all on the same team?"
At fourth glance you will check the third glance again, and yes...Barry Hart is becoming a stud. He is conditioned as hell, he has improved his throws so much, and he can read a disc and is a deep threat. This will be a huge league for Barry!

3) White

Jacob Moore and Andrew Goode win the top JBU team of the season. The Gentry duo, and Austin, lead a good core group here. The issue could be their bottom half of their team however, where I don't see very many key role players.

4) Lime Green

Will Sharp may not have drafted a new individual this league, so I don't know if these are predictions or facts. I know Will Sharp's teams are always fun AND win though. What else do we play for besides that right?

5) Kaplan

The Kaplan colored team has the same players as well, and also is in the running for Least Original Draft. Kaplan took Clayton Adams, Larkin, and Corey Duncan. Kara Dickemann has become a top talent on the field, and is fun to watch.

6) Wes

king kharl doesn't even show for more than one ADA game, so the chances of him showing for Summer League are abysmal, even if his girlfriend is on the same team. This team does have a few really good players that will have to step up in Wes and king kharl's absence (Devon, Lorenzo, and Joe Bell). Joe Bell made the sickest play of the ADA Finals, and I expect Joe Bell to make even more sick plays, more often this league. Joe, you don't have to fall on every catch though

7) Red

Elise took Abe, but the girl squad is in trouble

Purple

Jody is the Chip Kelly of FDA. He always is trying to One Up his last team, and take even more mediocrity and turn it into a champion. Jody is the best leader and coach in our community, and everyone else is still stuck trying to figure out how to get players to play for them like they do for him. This has to end this year though, there is NO WAY this team makes it to the Finals.

9) JBU Team #2 (Forrest Green)

With the first pick in the FDA 2015 Summer League Draft, the Taylor Stamps select.....South Africa! Wow, what a shocker! Taylor why don't you JBU guys branch out a little in the Fayetteville community sheesh!

10) JBU Team #3 (Orange)

Ouch...

One of these days, you're going to learn what the "Disable smilies in this post" button is for.

Anywho. Can't wait to get that $9 that Boy owes me for Spring League, and contribute to the filthy flicks. "Yellow Snow Cones" is my pick for team name. Would be better if we had E.R.I.C. on the team though...

It's a bit early to evaluate Cam's projections, but what they hell. #revivetheboards

Teams sorted in Cam's order.

Yellow 4-0
Wax has actually showed up. So, i guess my heckle of him as Clay's top pick is so far wasted.

Blue 4-0
They're winning without LBrew. Ouch.

White 1-3
Top JBU team of the season still puts you at the bottom with all the other JBU teams. Apparently.

Lime 0-4
They are way better than their record. Hope they don't figure out how to put it all together.

Gray 3-1
Would have picked them higher on paper. Looks like a front-runner after 2 weeks of play.

Brown 2-2
Would have placed them higher. Looks like a paper tiger after 2 weeks of play.

Red 2-2
Abe Coffin!

Purple 2-2
My team is 2-2 without me. I haven't really played or coached. I'm thinking good things are coming our way. I have to agree that finals look like a long shot though.

Green 1-3
Only win is against Orange, but the losses are against 3 good teams. Do they have more to give? My answer is No.

Orange 1-3
Only win is against my short-handed purple team. Going to be a tough season for this team.

cam, can you pick my next lottery ticket?

[Monster]

and while we're on the subject, what the hell is happening on True Detective? I mean Colin Farrell shaves his mustache and that mustache was the only thing that made sense on the entire show. Who am I supposed to root for now? Pretending to be straight Taylor Riggins? That mean girl from that movie mean girls? Whatever soap opera Vince Vaughn and his fictional wife are seemingly trapped in? I mean, last season there was a crime...you know...on a crime show. Now, there's only me, confused, watching a loose collection of other confused people drift through what I only imagine is a perfectly accurate California hellscape. Nic Pizzolatto, clothes or no clothes? Discuss.

Psh. We're still waiting to read your writeup from week 2 of summer league 2013.
