DODGEBALL!!
Chivato got us boys together in a Dodgeball League. It is actually very fun. We played our first game tonight.
We got WORKED
Here we are, a group of 30+ year olds (on average) starting to play dodgeball after 23 years at the playground.
My knee actually felt really good tonight. The team: LeRoy, Cam, Don, James, Chris, Matt, Kenny, Me, Brandon, Dusty and Travis
Our first match? The defending champs from last year.
We won the first game, but it ended up 1 to 8. Don't get me wrong, it was VERY FUN. We all had a great time, and got showed up by some 20 year old pretty boy punks in muscle shirts. The good news is every game from now on will be easier, and I am really excited to play again. We were all able to have fun, and laugh with each other.
Just so you know, Dodgeball's making it's way back. It's on ESPN sometimes. The game is played in 50 minutes. You play multiple rounds, most of the time lasting 5 minutes, depending on how good or bad you are. You just try to fit as many games as you can into that time frame.
There's some other interesting rules, but you guys know the jist of it. Don't get hit, catch the ball, hit the other team...
Here's some action shots, and Click here for the video We are on the right side of the court.

It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

I actually think we played a pretty good first game, even though I was the first one out. You'll have to wait for the video. The first game is on it, and you'll see the single move that saved us.
We were fresh, and still had our breath. Then it went away...

I loved dodgeball in school. In Jr High we called it Battlefield. In High School we called it Crunchball.
If anyone else forms and team and needs a player count me in!!!!

OK, here's the video of our winning game. It's the only footage worth showing.
Quick description of how we won; It's basically down to 1 on 1. James hits the target at the far side of the court, which basically frees all of us in the out box. So then, it's 10 on 1.
We are the team on the right side of the court.
Watching the footage, I can hear myself getting really involved. I've got my "fierce yelling tone" going.

Wow, looks like a lot of fun. I wouldn't think re-living anything from high school would be fun, but I guess dodge ball would be.
We used to play "cone ball," which was just standard dodge ball, except each team had three orange traffic cones behind them. If all three of your cones got knocked over before everybody was out, the other team won.

Cone ball was a fun high school game. I can remember other "ball" games being pretty entertaining too.

There's 10 players per team on the "field" at a time. That's how many we had, and believe it or not, I was looking for a sub half way in.
Every one of us are very sore today. It doesn't look like much of a workout, especially when we're OUT most of the time, but we're dying.
We'll actually get a bigger crowd this thursday. A lot of people want to come watch and have a laugh.

Hows the team doing? Have you got in any fights?

We're getting better, and I've managed to keep my cool lately. I haven't waited for anybody in the parking lot for a couple of weeks.
When you suck, you've got to do it for the fun of it. You have no other choice.
It's still a freakin' blast though. I'll miss this week, as I'm going out of town (Bear Lake), but it might be a Bye anyways. (Bie? By? Buy?)

OK, new week, new thrown out arm. We are a bunch of old men that constantly lose to cocky, mouthy little punks.
But our record is consistent.
Here are some shots from our latest game. Some of the shots are a little fuzzy because the camera tends to focus on the net in the foreground. Nevertheless, you guys can tell what's going on.
Be sure to watch the three videos too, they're after the pictures. Watch Dave get thrown out of the game.
I think the Refs forget we are the ones paying them sometimes. We should be allowed a little backtalkin'.
Oh, and P.S. Thanks to Sammy's fiance Emily for taking the footage.

That is hilarious! Nice camera work?
I wish some of those Ogdenites knew how to use a computer.

Now we're in the playoffs, baby!
