Sin The Fields: Tales of Postseasons Past Sep 18, 2020

Show notes

Tad is on vacation this week, but as everyone starts to feel the ghost pangs of a lost postseason, STF offers a look back at some sectionals and regionals of the past with a compilation of the best tales of winning and losing (mostly losing. Just lots and lots of soul wrenching losing) in the postseason that the show has covered over the past five years.

Sin The Fields: Masters Nationals, Semester without Ultimate Sep 04, 2020

Show notes

Pat and Tad are back, and after catching up on some light Brodie fanfic, pour one out for Masters Nationals and speculate on what college would have been like with no ultimate for a semester. All that plus an important anniversary and a petty but justified (?) T/T/FB.

Sin The Fields: Why is Brodie Scared of Playing Tad at Schenley? Aug 14, 2020

Show notes

As some parts of the country start toying with the idea of playing ultimate again, Pat and Tad talk about what a return to play should feel like. How much can you change the rules of the game and have it still be worth playing?
Tad reports on his continued dalliances with the world of disc golf, and the guys mull over theories on why Brodie refuses to take him on at Schenley. Is it cowardice? Something worse?
All this plus a story from Uzbekistan, a braggadocious X-Ray tech, and a T/T/F we can all get on board with.

Sin The Fields: BIPOC Highlight Reel, The First Ever Wildwood Jul 31, 2020

Show notes

It’s a somber tone for the fifth anniversary episode of Sin The Fields, because when there isn’t a Wildwood did the year even happen?
Things cheer up with a set of incredible guests. First, Max Charles and Lili Gu come by to talk about the massive BIPOC highlight reel to be released next week and delve into the details of how these things get made and how they hope this will help the ultimate community rise to the current moment.
Then the guys welcome a very special guest: mid-Atlantic ultimate legend Frank Sarbones, who was at the first ever Wildwood 28 years ago. Time earned wisdom not to be missed.

Sin The Fields: Is Disc Golf Good? Jul 17, 2020

Show notes

The madness of a long, hot summer without ultimate is really setting in, as Pat and Tad ponder whether not having tournaments to play this year is an opportunity for personal growth, or like being forsaken by an uncaring god. Maybe both?
The guys take stock of everyone’s chosen ultimate methadone, Disc Golf. Does it scratch the itch for ultimate die hards? Also, Pat commits to eating a lot of eggs for a good cause and weirdo Redskins name defenders get lit up in T/T/F.

Sin The Fields: Summer League Viking Funeral Jun 26, 2020

Show notes

To commemorate the loss of the 2020 summer league season, the STF guys wind back the clock and reminisce on some of their best and worst summer league experiences. Plenty of great listener emails about favorite league moments, team names, and weird stories make a surprisingly cogent argument about the importance of summer league to us all.

Sin The Fields: Our First Club Seasons Jun 12, 2020

Show notes

With the club regular season officially canceled, the STF guys look back on their first-ever club seasons. Did they suck? Have they learned anything? Why did they do it in the first place?
This weekend would have been Poultry Days, so in memoriam the show runs back Mags Colvett's epic report from last year's P-Days. Must listen material, even a year later. It's not all looking backwards, though, as the guys celebrate the return of ultimate to New Zealand and roll out the week's TTF.

Sin The Fields: Missing Nationals, Summer Madness, Live Stream Revisited May 29, 2020

Show notes

Pat and Tad had to spend a Memorial Day Weekend at home for the first time in about six years and quite frankly they aren't having it. They revisit some of their favorite memories from college Nationals past, and after a lot of long winding digressions, settle on what their favorite college Nationals was.
The guys go over some listener messages, have plenty of candidates for T/T/F, and start a new "COVID Progress" segment , celebrating a country that is progressive in more ways than one.

Sin The Fields: Summer Tournament Stages of Grief, Eligibility Questions, 6/12/18/24 Revisited May 15, 2020

Show notes

Wildwouldn't you take a 6th year? Pat and Tad catch up on some of the recent COVID related developments in ultimate as USAU offers an unprecedented sixth year of eligibility to some college students and Wildwood is... happening? What could go wrong with either!
All the cool kids are doing the 6/12/18/24 challenge while in isolation so Pat fields a few questions on it from his experience with the challenge back in October. The guys muse on what an STF All Star Tour would actually look like, and the winner of the PUL Jersey Auction sends in his own T/T/F.

Sin The Fields: Episode #100 [Pt. 2] May 01, 2020

Show notes

It took over four years, multiple instances of bodily harm, and at least one irate parent threatening to fight them, but Sin The Fields gets to episode 100. Pat and Tad pull out all the stops literally and figuratively in this deluxe sized two part extravaganza. Looking back on the history of the show Pat and Tad's sins of the past are revisited, promises are made, secrets are revealed, shame is given and taken in equal measure, and maybe, just maybe, a deeper truth emerges.
