I know. I'm not fired up either. I just think it's fun. It's not for me, but if you like it, go for it.
Don't be foolish. I was a pitcher and all we did was run distance. There is no woulda coulda. Nobody wanted to run track because chicks didn't care. I was trying to get trou. I don't tell anyone I coulda run track. It sucked and nobody was getting trou.
Agreed wholeheartedly on both counts. I'm an NHL season ticket holder, and I've never finished a cup of coffee.
Live hockey is fantastic. They move fast as hell, hand eye coord is off the charts and they mash one another. It's compelling.
Yeah, but you didn't compete. My grandmother jogs 5k a day. And, someone hasn't been familiarized with track chicks. I never had trouble with the girls.
Coffee sucks, I agree, although I've never been able to get into hockey, even live. I can't pinpoint why, because I actually wanted to like it. Maybe there's a detail or nuance I'm missing that will trigger the interest for me, though.
Iirc, chicks loved the pasty distance runners. Good call. For the record, I competed year round and in sports against the other school's best athletes. Most didn't have the problems your school had, where all the best athletes ran cross country and fell back on coulda.
The first live hockey I saw was Rangers/Islanders in Madison Square Garden. There was a bench clearing brawl in the 1st period (pre no leaving the bench rules). The ice looked like Hiroshima post Little Boy. So I was hooked from then on.
I think you must have responded to me by mistake because none of these apply to me. And, for the record, most of our best athletes played basketball, as did I.
Had I known you went to Oak Hill, I woulda coulda shoulda laid off. I coulda played basketball only and run cross country unbelievably successfully, but I didn't. I coulda, regardless.
First game I went to was Boston/Tampa in the new Garden. It was 8-1 Boston, but I was hooked anyways. As soon as I moved to the Raleigh area, I bought a season ticket package. On TV, it's clearly inferior to football, and maybe basketball too, but when you're there, it's up there with the very best.
I don't know what to tell you. I've only ever took one person to a game (including several non-sports fans) who wasn't able to get into it. And that was my mother, who doesn't like any sports. I guess it's one of those taste things, but I don't know that I can isolate what it is that hooked me on it.
Of course, the only basketball program is in Oak Hill. i have directions, if you want them. Your whole premise is that, if one doesn't compete in an organized activity, they are, implicitly, unable to handle that activity. Don't worry, this country is full of fat asses who couldn't handle a race around the block.
My premise is that you didn't play football though it was available and you "obviously" had the talent to do so. I'm correlating that with liking soccer and claiming it to be physical.
See, no you didn't play football with that world of talent. I pitched for my HS, the best legion team in TN and in college. There is no coulda here sabanholio. And, I did play football. I don't have to tell anyone what I might have otherwise done. Most don't assume me feminine.
I do it because soccer fans are so easily riled about their sport. And eff all you tea drinking coffee haters.
Exactly. The defensiveness about "the greatest game in the history of the universe" is awe inspiring.
