Intramural frisbee
My friend 6' 8'' has put together an intramural frisbee team composed of a bunch of b-school students and me. We had our first game on Monday during a brisk Spring evening. The rules are kinda weird for intramural frisbee because it's a timed game. Things change when it's a timed game. We also only had two women. The league is 4 men and 3 women, but you're only allowed to play 1 more man than woman, which means that we were supposed to play 3 men and 2 women. The other team was nice enough to let us play 4 men and 2 women. The game itself reminded of the first time I began playing ultimate frisbee. I played ultimate for the first time during a nerd camp the summer after my junior year of high school in Valdosta, GA. From that point on I was hooked. The game I played back then though compares nothing to what I went on to play. Those games during nerd camp were on a huge field, with tons of people playing at once, and usually were shirts and skins (I was skinny back then, scrawny but still skinny). The games I play in now are way more structured, more athletic, involve way more skill, and aren't shirts v skins. The intramural game was like the ultimate games at nerd camp, except during these intramural games I didn't have to run. That good though because I'm not very fast. I like the more athletic and structured brand of ultimate that I play now. Sometimes though, I miss those days of my youth when my entire future was in front of me to shape, and not just a memory of good times past. Oh well, such is life I guess.
