2011 College Championships: Colorado v. Pitt - Quarterfinal Game 

The amount of turns in the first few points of the game for two top-tier college teams is astounding.

All that the team is doing is keeping a high level of energy. They are showing their support as a team, instead of just sitting on the sideline acting like they are bored. This positive feedback and sense of camaraderie helps the team to play better as a group. After all, when you do something good and everybody shows that they appreciate it, it makes you feel empowered and makes the game more enjoyable. In ultimate terms, it is the "spirit of the game"!

@BangCycle This is the only game we were able to film at the College Championships, but we hope to have more in the future.

there's a lot of hate for pitt on this video, but you have to realize that it's only a few players making all the calls. i played against pitt in spring 2012 and they were completely legit. every call was a reasonable one. their athleticism and talent is just tremendous. ease up on the hate a bit

Very nice quality video, with what I felt was the appropriate amount of commentary (explanations, clarifications, names of people). Thanks!

I like the commentary, not super annoying but gives out the information

Ultimate in HD is always fun :D

Ah I wish you guys taped more games. This one was awesome!

Excellent job filming and commentating! Looking forward to more similar vids!

There were quite a few injuries that didn't quite look like injuries to me... but regardless, very entertaining to watch! Keep 'em coming!

10:50 OH MY GOD

@skydmagazine I'll keep an eye out for them, thanks!

lol that mickle pull at like 40 minutes was in the air for 10 seconds.

it's fun to watch a game with a lot of backhand forces

I played soccer, then came to ultimate. It works.

@ModernGenesis Both teams have a good number of club nationals guys, between Bravo and Oakland. But, yeah, it's still college ultimate.

he said tyler degiralamo's name wrong every time

2:33 he should've caught it.

So many drops 42:00 - 45

Sideline view > End Zone view

@ATOLawngreen after lookin at it i didnt see a travel during the throw, looks like a bad call

the longest second point ever

@saw13037 Pitts number 7 was calling most of them as well - every once in a while you run into guys that just call things to try and gain advantage. It is against the spirit of the game but there are people out there that play like that.

yeah and the observer keeps getting in the way too

Yay Pendulum's Tempest

@starsoftrackandfield that was a hilarious comment

god I love this sport. will you guys be putting up more games?

"Who's Jimmy Mickle? Is he one of their better players?"

there are so many CHS players in this game haha

I don't understand how was that traveling at 11:03 I'm new to this sport so if you could brake it down for me I would appreciate it.

Why do the marks play so far off the thrower?

Pitt called travel so many times it worked to colorado's advantage a few times. Thats how ridiculous it seemed lol

Like Pendulum much?

It is pretty clear from this game that players calling their own fouls is no longer a good idea.

@saw13037 Only when Pitt is involved.

Good travel call at 52:40, look at his foot!

i hate playin a casual game and the other team is d'n up super hard and close.

@saw13037 Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

can you contest a travel and ask an observer to step in? on those huge hucks they usually called a travel and they usually weren't travels

@saw13037 many teams will begin with an aggressive gameplan that needs to be checked by the opposing team with foul calls. defenders should not make contact with the thrower although it happens constantly. in a very important game where each throw is heavily contested, the guy with the disc is going to call a lot more fouls on his mark because it's (a) true and (b) advantageous.

How are you going to allow tackling in a game in which the player with the disc is fixed stationary?

Pitt look like a bunch of bad kids. They spike the disc when they score and anytime Colorado has the advantage they feel the need to call an erroneous foul.

jimmy mickle at 10:55 - 11:50 = BEASTMODE

Haha, did Pittsburgh seriously call that travel (which looked like he still barely had his pivot foot down to me) on that full huck around 11 mins, than let them score again on literally the exact same play?

#2 for Pitt is a freaking baby

0:30 "Jimmy Mickel gets hurt early on." "Who's Jimmy Mickel?"

ok i know ive only play for 3 years now in high school but wow these guys call allot of fouls.

as soon as colorado got the first point..i knew they were gonna win

Pitt playing by the philosophy get beat call a travel

Like if you want more games like this from nationals!

and this is why most games have refs to do all the calling.....

Look at ten fifty

I would be TMF'ing for excessive travel calls!

can you get scholarships for ultimate?

i am japanese ultimater. the game in japan is not observer.

if anything pitt had the legit calls, colorado got choppy.

is it me, or is Pitt calling A LOT.

what team do you play for?

i have NEVER seen so many fouls called by a single team in a game.

5:39 really?... REALLY!?

Comment won't let Me use numbers

@steelerfan786 omg ik pitt pisses me off in this game

So this game is simular to american footbal then?

i think soccer passing tactics could be applied to this sport

What does Pitt. Stand for?

yeah, the whole sport of Ultimate relies on people being honest and not taking advantage fo that type of thing. Otherwise, it kind of ruins a competitive game.

Ever watch hockey? or Football?

Yep, no tackling. Just like basketball and baseball.

why is referee in this game???

observer?

The travel call around 10:30 was sooooooo cheap. Deserved to get rolled.

not in college anyways..

I wanna see some of the rules in this. No tackling? Come on...lol

Thumbs up if you were there?

pitt makes some of the worst travel calls i've ever seen in this game. they're a talented team, but i cannot have respect for people who abuse the rules like #7 and #2 did.

Wow...Pitt deserved an ass whooping. "Foul called...travel called...foul called...foul called." Give me a break. Pitt is a team full of sore losers and cheap players. Props to Colorado for a tough played game.

is it just me or do these guys not seem very good. aside from the top guys like Zemel of course - lower end regionals level club player with no college ultimate experience

also, PITT cheats to lose!
