"The first time I saw the Condors was I believe '76. I played with the Los Angeles Frisbee Club, and we had a meet with the Condors. It was different events, like distance, accuracy, most time aloft, guts, and ultimate. We had three players from the past ultimate champs, Rutgers. LA won every event up to the ultimate game. We played ultimate with the Condors disc of choice, the 141g. The Condors crushed us, and we were a pretty good team. In '77 the Condors beat us in the western regional (we were now called Foothill) by one goal I think. The Condors went on to annihilate Penn State in the nationals. I hope I have all my years straight."
