Sports That You Play
 

My favorites are soccer and ultimate frisbee, and there is generally a nice turnout. I've tried playing basketball with some friends, but I just end up embarrassing myself with how terrible I am. It's nice to have it be competitive and fun; not cutthroat. I played soccer with a completely new group tonight, and it was challenging. I loved it. Everyone out there was ~18-22, there were some good combos going on and I liked how fast-paced it was. I got 4 assists! Only complaint I have about tonite was getting slide-tackled cleats up from behind by this black guy named Ebow, but he quickly apologized. I hope the bruises and cuts on my calves heal quickly! Also I got a number from one of the girls, and she was damn cute. Do any of you try to get friends and/or sports buddies together to play pick-up games?

Im the best at golf (handicap is around a 3.5 right now) then soccer and football. Im also decent at hockey and basketball. Me and my friends, especially in college, get together for pickup games almost ever weekend. We also play basketball late on Wednesday nights since it is an off day. I personally love it, because it s a great way to hang with friends and its also a good workout.

Oh, I forgot to add golf. I love playing it, but like basketball, I'm not too good. I have gotten better though, I can actually hit straight drives. The problem for me is getting on the green.

Hmmm, pretty much play hockey August through April, once or twice a week. This summer I made a softball team with people I know, bad choice as we had some really shitty players. We had 2 guys who stuck out at a few games, ended the season yesterday at 0-14, but it was still fun for most of the games. Played a decent amount of basketball this summer as well just pick up games and what not, wanted to play more volleyball but that didn't work out.

Still haven't gotten in my 3 rounds of golf for the summer, so I'll have to do that. Also played some 5v5 beach football this summer, and other things I'm missing as well.

I play basketball every chance I get. I play pick-up games all the time with my friends. I'm either the high-scorer or the play-maker (I get my teammates open shots). I'm really good and all this potential is going to waste because I'm only 5'10" - If I was 6'4" and I worked out regularly, I'd be playing college ball, no joke. I'm not trying to brag, it's just that it gets to me that I could be doing so much more with my life if I was only a couple inches taller.

I grew up playing soccer and went to a couple of out-of-state tournaments when I was younger. I was pretty badass back then. They called me "The Boot" - I had a pretty strong right leg. I quit when I got to highschool.

I also play pick-up football games whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Dude I could take you 1 on 1, full court, half, it don't matter :killgrin:

But i'm about the same as you Thanatos, i'll hop into a pickup game anytime, basketball or football. I haven't really been playing as much since I got out of highschool strictly because of time, but i'm always down on the weekend to play some ball no matter what it is.

Lately though, I've actually been riding alot, on my bike, it's relatively great exercise and doesn't seem to strain as much, and it's nice to go riding after work to get off alotta that stress, i'm not sure if it's a sport or not, but it is definately a good time killer as me and the lady stroll around.

That's really about it, I used to play some baseball when I was younger, along with soccer but I suppose i've grown out've both of those sports, I'm contemplating doing some assisstant coaching for Football, but i'll just have to wait and see :-\

Does billiards count? That's the only competitive recreation I've found that one can play well with a cigarette dangling from one's mouth.

Basketball. I've started playing a little golf, but since I suck so bad right now we're not counting that. That's about it.

Wish I knew people to do intermural basketball with at A&M, did football last year and that was pretty bad... our team just argued a lot and people just chunked bombs and missed. Its annoying because I can catch a football no matter what practically(Mr. Kurt trained me well eh MJ?) but I wasn't good friends with most of the team, only a couple, so they just chunked bombs to their friends.

I concur.

Guarantee you couldn't take me. I'd school your ass.

Timmay, there's gotta be an intramural basketball league at a big school like A&M.

I'm sort of pissed that my college doesn't have soccer, as I would probably have the starting center midfield position. I plan on playing intramural indoor and outdoor soccer, and possibly helping out with the women's team.

As for parlor games, I'm bombass at darts, but anyone can beat me at pool. It's good to hear that a lot of you are active.

MightyJoe, don't worry about the losing season. My soccer team last summer that got 3rd at state the previous year got split up, so we went 0-16-1. Most of the games were close, and I was so proud of our team for having no one quit. We had a lot of fun, especially the last game of the season. It was 100 degrees out, 8v10 (people were vacationing), I had 2 goals, but we fell short 4-2. Soccer hasn't been the same since then, having our goalscorer break his leg in a brutal game the second of the season. He had 4 goals (3 in the first and 1 in that). Never rebounded from that. Ended up 8-5-3.

There's hardly anyone around here that can take me one on one, i'm sure i'd be much faster than you, so full court you'd get schooled. :(

Why the hell would we play 1on1 full court? This isn't a race, it's about basketball skills.

You guys should do a Hell in the Cell basketball match. I'd pay good money to watch that. D3V, I bet I could outsprint you and outdistance run you any day of the week.

You've gotta be seeing the affects weed has on your lungs, then. I notice I get out of breath easier if I've been smoking on a constant basis.

I bet you could run faster/longer if you quit or at least took a break..

I'm currently in a break right now, haven't smoked since last Wednesday, and probably won't until Saturday. It doesn't have too much of an affect on my lungs, and I actually have more creativity when I smoke a pinchie beforehand. I try to combat the marijuana by being completely physically fit.
