Wish I could be there, Ultimate invades Chi-Town

Another week is in the books for the Ultimate College Division but there was little movement in the D-I open   or women's rankings.

The top teams remained unchanged as Wisconsin and Oregon held on to the No. 1 spots for the second week in there respective divisions.

This weekend going to be a big one for college Ultimate with more than 50 teams descending on Chicago for the Chicago Invite.

Teams competing in the Invite include Northwestern Ultimate, Western Illinois Mass Hysteria, Iowa and Purdue. This is one tournament I'd love to be a part of not just as a player, but also as a fan.

For this tournament to coincide with the start of March Madness seems fitting as there is going to be madness at the Dan Ryan Woods.

I have participated in a few tournaments, but nothing of the size and scope of the Chicago Invite. There is bound to be lots of excitement with big layouts, surprising upsets and close games throughout the entire weekend-long tournament.

Ultimate action isn't limited to the Midwest however. Tournaments will be underway across the country including the Spring SHOWdown, the Heart of Texas Huckfest and the Firedogs Spring Invite. I'll do my best to keep track of as many of these as I can.

This weekend is sure to shake up the standings as we're another week closer to the Championships.
