Act like you've been there before kid

So we lost our intramural frisbee finals this past Monday. No real surprise there considering the other team had 4 or 5 club players on it. The thing that sticks out about that game was how moronic the dudes on the other team were. One point stands out. They had the disc. They put up a horrible huck. I'm sandwiched between 2 of their guys going deep. I decide that I have spontaneously become Michael Jordan, and that I can catch the frisbee 11 feet in the air. So go up for the disc against the offensive player in front of me. We both misread it and the other offensive dude catches it. Now, I have no problem with that. I misread the disc. Their dude made a good play. Good job. Then the moron spikes it. Now, this is an intramural frisbee game. No real glory in winning the intramural frisbee championship. I mean it's not the game to go to nationals. Also, a bunch of people on our team are beginners. So now I'm pissed. Usually I don't say anything. This time though I couldn't help it, so I say, "Nice spike douchebag." They were like what did he say and all that mess. Apparently he was just having fun. Well congrats on beating a bunch of people who are new to the game douchebag. I hate when people try to rub winning in other people's faces. Act like you've been there. Score, celebrate with your teammates, and then do it again. No need to make other people feel like crap. This also relates to when you boo your home team. Really? Booing them and making them feel like crap is going to make them feel better and play better. You think they don't know they are playing badly and losing. Maybe cheering on your losing team would yield better results. I'm just saying.

  1. Sorry about the loss of the game. At least it was fun, huh? Blame it on your kidney :)

    I won't ever forget a score I got the 2nd or 3rd year after I started playing on Huck Foo. I checked my feet, caught the throw on the edge of the endzone and began to walk away with a
    nice grin on my face.

    The defender, a guy, said no way you were in. Not a chance. And then, just to add to their ass-i-ness a guy half way down the field decided to agree and yell, "yeah, no way she was in. Totally out!"

    I said, well, my decision, my call, I checked my feet before catching it, I'm in. And then I continued to walk away to their calls of F this and F that.

    That moment taught me to not be a jerk on the field and I've always remembered that!

    Wow....long comment. Sorry I haven't commented lately! Take care
