[THE ROCK]

So apparently the gentlemen of Enigma are quite photogenic, and attract quite the camera crew while tearing up the field in Rockford, Illinois this past weekend at The Rock. This video was on the news, and is now up online here. I have also joined the twitter craze, and Enigma tournament updates will be one of my "tweet topics" if you will. Check those out here.

All right, enough with the foreplay... Those photogenic gentlemen of Enigma came out absolutely blazing day one! Game one was against Gnarwhal, the 1 seed in our pool and the 2 seed overall. Windy conditions and few turnovers graced Enigma with a solid 15 - 5 upset. The scores improved for our opponents throughout the day, each team scoring one more than the prior.

Day 1 Results:

W Gnarwhal 15 - 5

W FC Champaign 15 -6

W Cornography 15 - 7

W Risky Bidness 15 - 8

Day 2 Results:

W Salvage 15 - 5

L Beachfront Property 6 - 15

Sorry to spoil the end of the weekend with those scores already, but day 2 started with a slow victory over Salvage (seen twice at Hoosier Hoedown). Without the intensity of upsetting the 2 seed going into the next game, Beachfront Property handed Enigma their first loss of the tournament, but the green column was filled enough to satisfy most. If that couldn't satisfy you, I hope the 34 day 1 point differential made up for it.

Hoosier Hoedown

Sorry it took a while to get these up, but here are the Hoosier Hoedown results:

Day 1:
L Indy Ruckus 12 - 13
W Salvage 13 - 10
L Spoiler 7 - 13
W Big River 13 - 3

Day 2:
L Madison Club 6 - 13
W Salvage 13 - 8
L Jizzapalooza 7 - 13

Congratulations on Butters and Greg on being the first members of Enigma to both receive the Gumball Award in the same weekend. In case you weren't here this past weekend, Butters had a mad sky over Wisconsin's All Region member: Jon Gaynor, Greg had some monstrous bids, not even just straight out... more like shoulder level launches into the air.

Gentlemen, we have 2 weeks of practice before The Rock, and that is going to be another big tournament for us. Again, there are going to be a lot of good teams there, so we need to make sure that we are ready.

Few things to consider during practice these next couple weeks:

• If you guys get an opportunity outside of practice, try to get some running in. Any extra conditioning we get in before The Rock and Sectionals will give us that extra edge on those universe points we get stuck on so very often.
• Abdominal workouts! Planks, crunches, etc... Get it done!
• For that extra vertical, get some calf raises in fellas! Toes straight out, toes pointed in, and toes out.

Enigma, guys if you have time through out the next two weeks, get some conditioning in and be ready for it during practices. Peace fellas.
