‘UGMO Season Preview 2012: The Season the World Ends’ is a multiple part series introducing this years team. Today in the final installment we will introduce the other wily vets… the wiliest vets.
Welcome to the final installment of this series of Season Preview blog posts. Today we’ll introduced you to the wiliest of the wily, the O-est of the OG. The Vets Part Duex.
2009 UGMO team at regionals
The vets that I am going to talk about today have been on UGMO for 4+ years. I have been through a lot with these guys and I know how much they have meant to the team over the last 4 years, and more importantly how much the team has meant to them. They are the last of the UG’s to have experienced the rebirth of Cal ultimate when they were freshmen and sophomores that helped the team get it’s first nationals appearance since 2004. They were the young gunz who helped foster a culture of winning and the foundation for the team that surprised the world with a quarter final finish two years ago. I have no doubt that they will go on to have a large impact in the ultimate world but for now they have one focus: Becoming College Champions.
Skeeter stays rockin the neon track jackets
Jeff ‘Skeeter aka Pickles’ Liu:
Skeet be mad protein synthesizing in the lab (or something), but when he isn’t doing that he is probably beating you deep and then spiking the disc ferociously. He is the reigning UGMO (‘Erec Hillis Memorial’) Hustle Player of the year and although Skeeter seems like a very calm and nice guy, he currently holds the team record for ‘Most Vicious Spike’ as well as the record for ‘Number of Class 3 Vicious Spikes in a Career’ at an astounding 134 over 3 seasons.
Same difference
Jeff ‘Random Number Generator’ Roeder:
Roeder is probably the most honest person on the team, and since he also writes all of the blog posts you as readers are very lucky and should believe everything that he writes. Roeder is kind of like Bruce Willis from the movie ‘Unbreakable’ where he is invulnerable to any kind of injury or pain except for his one weakness [spoiler] which is water. Unfortunately Roeder’s weakness appears to be ultimate. After a promising start to his career he has suffered several injuries over the last couple of years but he is finally trying to get and stay healthy and contribute for one last run.
Definitely Bieber
Brendan ‘Bieber aka Beebs’ BBS:
In high school Justin Brendan Bieber was a tween heart throb with his prolific classical music exploits and smooth hip hop dance moves. Sadly he had to retire from classic music and hip hop dance after a freak improv battle involving his phoenix feather and holly bow nearly took off his left pinky. But he is The Boy Who Lived. Fortunately for UGMO, he has been working extremely hard over the last couple of years to become the ultimate ultimate player alive and this year he is even taking over a captain role.
Definitely James
James ‘I Gotta Feeling‘ Pollard:
James has had a feeling since his sophomore year. Unfortunately for all of us who have been around since then, we have had to listen to his feeling over and over again. This is James’s second season as a captain and he has done a lot for the team this year. He continues to step up both on and off the field whether is be with huge plays on the field or organizing team events for the players. I can’t wait to see what he does this year.

One of those charicature drawing from Disneyland, seriously.
Cullen ‘Geodude’ Coyne:
Sorry dudes but the secrets out. Geodude is the best pokemon from the original 151 pokemon. I know what you’re thinking, you probably thought it was Gyarados, Charizard, Mewtwo or at least one of the evolved forms of Geodude but it turns out you’re wrong. We caught our Geodude over 4 years ago and we have been training him ever since. He has tried to evolve several times but we just kept hitting B. Right now he is level 96. Geodude’s greatest accomplishment is probably when he defeated both carne asada fries and a super burrito two years ago and we didn’t let him evolve.
This is what comes up when you google image search Andrew Hagen
Andrew ‘Hagen’ Hagen:
Andrew ‘Hagen’ Hagen is the biggest heart breaker on UGMO. But don’t worry gentlemen, he has a sister too. If it weren’t for Choon constantly insisting that “no one is special,” I’d think that Hagen thought he was special. Nonetheless, Hagen began his ultimate career at Cal four and a half years ago with humble beginnings. He was a track stud with mad hops, but the young man had much to learn. With each season his talents have grown and for the second year in a row he is captaining the defense.
