Alejandro "Anselmo Galva Garcia Rodriguez" Alonso
Hometown: Arecibo, Mexcio
Nickname: "Alex"
Marital Status: Happily married to his middle
school sweetheart
Bio:
After a whopping 147 pound weight loss (which he attributes to Bascom sprints and long nights at SODO), between his first and second seasons, Alejandro Anselmo Galva Garcia Rodriguez Alonso returned to the frisbee field in 2016 fast, competitive, and motivated. Though known to foam at the mouth during long points, the "Bend but don't Break©" innovator is a devout Catholic and true man of God, evidenced last season when following a touchdown attempt, he broke his ankle in 3 spots, though miraculously returned to the field a mere 7 days later. If you ask him what his favorite part of being on Señor Mybo is, he will likely vehemently gesticulate his arms whilst prefacing several times before admitting "I just love frisbee and everything associated with the spirit of the game." Mybo Captain Dane Gottschall on Alejandro Anselmo Galva Garcia Rodriguez Alonso: "I just look for those bright orange shoes and then I huck it. I trust him. He skyed a Radical once."
Cosette Sommers
Siblings: many
Martial Arts level: black belt
Age: between 19 - 600
Bio:
Not much is known about Cosette Sommers. This is her second year playing with the Mybo group, and she claims to work at a bar called Midtown Pub. However, there is much speculation into the origin of Cosette. Some say she is only 19. However, some speculate she is descendant of the Dunedain, who descended from the Numenoreans, blessing her with long life, and could therefore be hundreds of years old, and not look as if she is much older than the peers she chooses to hang out with (notice the black and white picture found in the archives dating back to when before pictures were taken in color). Others speculate she is Joan of Arc reincarnate, but this is just malarkey. The most widely accepted theory is that Cosette Sommers (as she is called in this life) is actually the fabled "Chosen One" which will bring balance to the Force. As seen in the documentaries "Star Wars: Episodes 1-7" we see that the chosen one is indeed reincarnated every cycle. Since the Star Wars documentaries took place a long time ago, it is possible that she is the 10th or 11th reincarnation of the Chosen One. However, it is yet to be determined, as she has not yet come fully into her power. She has teachers and guidance along the way that she knows not about, and soon, when the time is right, she will come into her own and realize her true power to help ward off Dementors and He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. The Order of the Phoenix watches over her and keeps her safe.
Because of this, Cosette is one of the sweetest, most loving, and most genuine people in the Mybo group. She has only been playing the last two summers, but without her Sir (Senor) Mybo just wouldn't be the same.
Dan Kise
Pets: Corgi
Wingspan: 6'6"
Voted: "Least Likely to Wear a Tie at His Wedding"
Bio:
Dan "The Man" Kise joined the Mybo fam in the summer of 2015. During the 2016 season he held the title for "Most Engaged Man" on the Señor Mybo roster. Though his attendance last season was spotty, notable highlights included: 12 World's Greatest plays, 7 Hugs, and dozens of D's that would later be described as "wicked," in a nod to Kise's Boston roots. Best known for his hatred of the outdoors, Kise can often be found on his couch watching Disney Channel Original Movies and creating "Dream Closet" and "Pie Recipes" boards on Pinterest.
Elliot Vaughan
Estimated height: 2 - 3 meters
Favorite foods: raw venison and wild gooseberries
Years lived with Dane: 2
Bio:
According to alleged witnesses, Elliot is described as a large, hairy, muscular, bipedal ape-like creature, roughly 2–3 meters tall, and covered in hair described as black, dark brown, or dark reddish; who enjoys playing ultimate Frisbee. Individuals claiming to have seen Elliot described large eyes, a pronounced brow ridge, a large, low-set forehead, and a pretty sick forehand. He has also been described as having a strong, unpleasant smell, and an intimidating defensive presence.
Although the majority of the scientific community remains skeptical about the existence of Elliot, some well-respected zoologists believe early season Elliot sightings to be reliable, despite lack of convincing photo evidence. “At up to three meters tall, it’s easy to see how an Elliot would be an asset on the ultimate Frisbee field.” Notable zoologist/MUFA captain Dane Gottschall observed wistfully in a recent interview. “I know it sounds crazy, but sometimes I can almost convince myself he exists.”
Although a wild Elliot sighting has never been confirmed, there have been multiple recent reports of an Elliot like creature roaming in the woods of Canada and intermittently, though more rarely, playing ultimate Frisbee at public parks in Madison, WI.
Jenny Davidson
Favorite emoji: poop
Friend group: neighborhood squirrels
Favorite pizza: Comes in a dinosaur box
Bio:
Now, this is a story all about how
Our lives got scored and tossed around
And I'd like to take a minute
so just stand right there
I'll tell you all about how we met Ms. Jennifer Cher-yl
In West Mad-i-son, born and raised
On the beach is where she spent most of her days
tanning and swimming all cool,
when some of the girls they were hanging around,
started makin' trouble in the frisbee field.
She threw one little disc, and then she got hooked
She said “guess I gotta join Mybo”
Lani Jensen
Height: 4 Foot Something
Favorite Paul: Bolanowski
Dream Job: A Troll Under A Bridge
Bio:
Growing up Lani was told eating her veggies would help her to become to be tall someday. She went all in and became a vegetarian only to realize perhaps she had been lied to. Once she came to terms with the fact that she would never grow out of shopping for clothes in the kids section, Lani decided to focus on increasing her speed instead. She spent countless hours training and running becoming so fast that she thought she would never find someone faster than her, that’s when she met Paul. It was love at first sight when he ran past her, she couldn’t take her eyes off of his gazelle like strides. She and Paul turned their attention to Ultimate and joined forces with Mybo. Lani is well on her way to becoming a Mybo superstar, now if only she would show up for more than half the games.
Liz Souder
Age: 25 (everyone on the team is 25, right?)
Height: 5'4''
College: Wisconsin
Bio:
Liz is a recent graduate of UW, but is well traveled with recent return from Ireland, South Africa, and the rarely traveled to North Pole. However, if you are not snapchat friends you likely did not get to see her photos. She worked with Sarah and Alejandro on the radio covering topics ranging from world travel to exotic beer. Despite being very busy at the radio station interviewing people way cooler than those of us on Mybo, she makes times to rock it on the field as a lefty. However, next season is really up in the air as there is rumor she might be sucked into the temporal vortex that is EPIC. At least if this happens the computer engineers will be excited because ...
Kristin Treichel
Height: 1.37 m
Countries visited: 10+
40 yard dash: 4.53
Bio:
Kristin joined Sir Mybo in 2015 as an undrafted free agent, playing her entire rookie season without a matching jersey. Despite her unheralded start, she went on to lead the team in D’s and has earned a reputation as a lockdown defender. Apparently she has broken at least one bone in her career, but, always the tough cookie, Kristin has probably played though countless minor fractures and ligament tears. Away from the team, Kristin spends an average of 13 hours per day working out or playing soccer. She also enjoys vodka, volleyball, the Packers, and makeup.
Mark Earleywine
Height: 6'1" ish
Shoe size: 16
Favorite TV show: Pretty Little Liars
Bio:
Known by the ladies as “Gentleman Number One,” Mark enjoys long walks on the beach, romance novels, fine scotch, board games, and the occasional salsa dance. He initially pursued a degree at Julliard School of the Arts for male vocal performance with an emphasis in beat boxing, but after several strained vocal chords succumbed to the IT life. Mark was found wandering alone on the sandy shores of Coliseum Beach when asked to join the 2015 Sir Mybo team, making him one of the original members. Prior to this, Mark's frisbee experience included being the official water boy for the Pittsburg Stags from 2009-10 before retiring due to the stress of the job.
Little did the team know, Mark held the world record for most Pickle Ball wins in consecutive seasons (2011-14) making him quite the asset. Although he lost touch with his Pickle Ball mates after moving to Madison, he found a new family with Sir Mybo. If you care to know more about Mark, or would like to go on a date with him (*wink*wink ladies out there) he can be reached at 867-5309.
Paul Bolanowski
Vertical leap: 46"
1st Ironman time: 6:57:13
Languages Spoken: English & Handanese
Bio:
Paul was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on a cold January evening. Legend has it, that even in birth, those who were present at the hospital reported that there was an “inexplicable occurrence” in the delivery room. Some said that there was an “ethereal glow” that surrounded him. Some say that Paul was born with actual wings, and flew out on his own. Sounds crazy, but we can at least agree that something unusual happened that night. As Paul grew up, he enjoyed the spoils offered in Milwaukee, and realized that he really enjoyed running. At the ripe age of 18 ½ , Paul ran the Madison Ironman race, and blew the minds of all with a record completion time of 6:57:13. With this, the National Ironman Association cancelled the national championships in favor of declaring Paul the greatest athlete that has ever lived, and awarded him with first prize, and more importantly, a lifetime membership to Dave and Busters.
Towards the end of November, Paul had decided to run another marathon. For these marathons, Paul usually practices his sprinting Lance Armstrong style, being last to leave and first to finish. So around the 14th mile of the marathon, Paul noticed a lovely young woman with great form. After watching her strides, he realized that she was his soulmate. He ran up next to her, and ran with her for the rest of the race, never once breaking stride with her. She looked strangely at him a few times, but ignored him. After they finished, she asked, “Why didn’t you pick up your pace- clearly you could have won this race five times over.” Paul looked back to her and said, “When it comes to love, I’m in it for the long run, want to join me?” At that moment, Lani was done for.
Lani and Paul became inseparable partners, and have even learned the language of “handanese” which is a compilation of fist bumps, high fives and love taps . There is currently only five other creatures who are fluent in the language in the world, including the infamous C3PO, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Kanye West.
Paul eventually moved to Madison. In their spare time, Lani and Paul continued to run together. Lani realized that running with him could be quite complicated, as he could quite literally run forever. To help Paul stay healthy, she decided to sign them both up for the Madison Ultimate Frisbee fall league. Paul took to ultimate quickly, destroying his defenders easily, and scoring efficiently. The only problem he had, was it wasn’t always easy finding the right people to help him score. Sometimes the hucks weren’t deep enough or sometimes he couldn’t get the disc because he wasn’t on the field. He focused on solving these problems everyday- but it seemed fruitless. Until one spring day, he met the big and friendly giant himself, Dane Gottschall. Dane had been wandering the United States for years in search for a fearless receiver that could catch any Frisbee like a bite of a tiger. And when Dane met Paul, he knew he had found his man. Paul and Lani joined his team, Madam Mybo, and he’s been legend ever since.
Taylor Lee
Age: 35
Height: 6'1"
College: Harvard (snob)
Bio:
Taylor is a Russian KGB agent (or freelance investigator of crazy conspiracy theories under investigation by the Secret Service for sending Hillary Clinton creepy nonsensical messages) who doubles as Donald Trump’s official Twitter spokesperson (yes, he is behind the brilliant, thought provoking 3 AM tweets) as he makes America great again. He is currently focused on uncovering corruption within Madison Ultimate Frisbee Association (MUFA), which is why he agreed to join Senor Mybo. Taylor is the oldest member of Senor Mybo, so he spends most of his time on the sideline serving as the official mascot/eye candy (really motivated our females to show up) and assistant head coach/chief strategist. Before Senor Mybo, Taylor played high-level ultimate in college and was a Callahan award finalist. Unfortunately, his competitive ultimate career was ended prematurely due to a horrific knee injury while playing Quidditch in the off-season.
