Stump now. BearFight Forever.

This weekend was spent playing seven games of Ultimate, driving nigh on twenty hours and smelling like all the worst parts of seventeen sweaty men. The college sectionals tournament was in Boise where the weather was fantastic other than medium high winds, and The University of Montana BearFight showed that we are fully out of hibernation. Coming in to the tournament as the tenth seed of ten teams, BearFight (or Stump, as our lovers know us) tore apart all expectations and placed halfway up the ladder in fifth. Sadly, this was one spot away from a bid to Regionals, but nonetheless, the BearFight showed everyone, including #2 seed Gonzaga and #3 seed Utah State how ruthless Montana Ultimate can be (in a good way). A final game against Washington State on Sunday afternoon proved to be too much for Stump, but the battle was a tough one in which we fought back to tie from a four point deficit at halftime. The weekend was colored with huge plays and as always, the Spirit of the Game rang true. It was as successful and inspiring as a missed Regionals bid can be and we know all of them will always remember the night they played the Titans  BearFight.
