Height: tall
Shorts size: bigger than someone that height should conceivably wear
Number: he’s got yours
When I first met Conner Goodwin, I thought he looked like all the other tall, lanky, white ultimate players at northwestern. Now, four years later, I only think that sometimes.
Conner is known to roll up in his 30 year old beater of a car and cast his charming smile over his shoulder, a smile that may get old after he beats you under for the 10th time that day. Northwestern students are smart, and they may be wondering why I say under and not deep given his aforementioned height. To be honest, I’m not sure either, but I may have some hypotheses:
Josh Divak once said that he is such a nice person that when he sees someone go under he just lets them have it. It might be that conner feels the same way when he sees the opposing defender whimper at the thought of him going deep: sometimes the opponents self-esteem is more important than winning.
It’s also possible that it was caused by Conner’s Spanish frisbee sabbatical. After a grindy year of baptaining a bolt team to unforeseen success, Conner took some time in Bilbao to reflect on his frisbee career. on his return to the US, Conner returned not only with his signature grin but also a never before seen style of “tiki-taka” frisbee that led to an instant NUT offer and coach Penny Wu to describe him as a “frisbee reincarnation of Andres Iniesta but much taller.” The Spanish philosophy is effectively described as death by 1000 unders – to broadly extrapolate to a frisbee context – and that’s exactly what 7 Conner goodwins on the line would do to you.
I think I’ve lost the plot of this bio. I’ll close this by saying that I spent 3 hours today visualizing Conner “Andres Iniesta” Goodwin skying that Purdue cheater to win regionals. Don’t let me down please.
