I’m going to Mardi Gras!! February 19th, 2009 by Nick
I’m going to Mardi Gras!! Well, I’m not really going to THE Mardi Gras in New Orleans but I am going to the annual Mardi Gras ultimate tournament hosted by LSU every year. I’ve been the past 5 years straight and am super pumped about making my 6th trip to Baton Rouge for one of the biggest ultimate tournaments of the year. Unfortunately, my college UPA days are over and I’m no longer eligible to play with the Texas State team (The Buckets) but it will be good to reconnect with the guys and watch some good college ultimate. When I showed up to my first Mardi Gras tournament my freshman year our team was inexperienced and had yet to win our first game since becoming an official UPA team. However, just three years later we had built a strong team, athletic and experienced enough to walk away with third place (out of 50+ college teams). My 5 years as a Bucket were easily some of the best years of my life and this weekend I get to take a step back and relive the glory days of college, friends and ultimate. Here’s to being picked up on I-10 by a couple of vans full of college kids on their way to Louisiana.
Here are a few pics from Mardi Gras ‘07
