What a treat it was to peruse the website, see photos, and relive all the blood, sweat and beers of SB Ultimate! It brought a ray of SB sunshine to this former Skirt/Condor stuck (temporarily) in Manhattan! Thank you, and please send a hello to Jason - I'm looking forward to seeing him at the Classic, hopefully.

I played on Burning Skirts before they were the Burning Skirts in the Spring of 87. Back then our name changed with every tournament, from 'No Food in the Library' (thanks to T and A) to Kunaouichi (sp?). In 88 we became the Burning Skirts, and that year won college Nationals for the first time in one of the windiest games I have ever played in. If it had not been for a last minute up wind goal, the Davis Cats would have defeated us.
I played on Condors for the Fall 87, 88 and 89 years. We won 1 National title my rookie year and 2 world championships. I met my husband Pete McCabe at the world club Ultimate Championships in Cologne Germany. He was playing on Loony Tunes from New Jersey. We met and fell in love and communicated for 5 months by phone and mail before he quit his job and moved to California to be with me.
Since then I have played on one of Condors biggest rivals, San Diego Safari, where I am still an active player. While Safari has never captured a national title, we are always in there fighting and have many times been a contender. We still battle it out with Condors on a semi regular basis.

I actually started the UCSB Women's Ultimate Team in 1985. I used to play with some of the men Condors who weren't playing with the Condors (at the time called the Poachers). They let me play with them. (I used to play Ultimate in high school). I wanted to play on a women's team, there wasn't a collegiate team, so I started one! I recruited, fund-raised, trained and coached the team. We were terrible in the beginning, losing almost every game. For a while, we were so bad, we called ourselves the "Flying Nones", a take off of the "Flying Nuns." Sean Daddy brought out his roommates (Trish and Andrea) and asked me to teach them how to throw and play. What a heritage I started. By the time I was a senior, we won Nationals, and the majority of the team went on to play in Germany and win Worlds and played in Worlds again in Canada two years later where we got third.
The Skirts went on to win the next two National titles. Three in a row! I sure was proud!
I've married, so my new married name is Liz Allen.
