Skipper once ate 20 Saltines in under 30 seconds after running a 3-minute mile while holding his breath for 4 consecutive hours in addition to juggling 25 apples. All-World Records. If that's not impressive enough, he's also a ridiculous Ultimate Player. Somehow we let him run his mouth off for the last two and a half years, probably because no matter what he said he always was able to produce on the field. A lightning fast cutter, Skipper is a great defensive weapon. Offensively he is the whole package, cuts, throws, and he'll even show you his package in a game of Beirut. Either way, Skipper has become one of the keys to the E-Men's success, he's that rare kind of player that can actually make the kind of plays you expect great players to make. He burst onto the scene Freshman Year at College Nationals and hasn't looked back since. If you're going to watch Tufts play, watch out for #1.
Skipper's girlfriend is abroad, and frankly we've been there before and don't need to go there again. But without his better half here to tame the beast, we might just happen to see much more of Skipper circa 2004 Skipper, where he almost earned the name of "Bourbon" for his extravagant adventures during Mardi Gras. Streaks if there was any time you might want to go in hiding, it's probably now.
