We used to play the same game when I was in HS! We called it Animal Ball. After about 5 - 10 minutes, everyone had to stop and catch their breath. It was a pretty crazy way to get aerobic exercise!
Great memories from hs. Used to laugh my ass off watching the wrestlers play a quick pickup game against the basketball players in gym class. Never understood how the basketball players didnt catch on that pickup actually meant that they'd be picking themselves up from the hardwood.
I've played very little pumpkin bouncing. One time, when I did, a guy tried to drive the lane on me. I lowered my shoulder, and dropped him like a sack of potatoes. I swear my feet were planted, and it was a charge. He didn't see it that way, as he laid there trying to suck a breath back into his lungs.
So you cheap shot someone and still seem to brag about it. Same basketball player should have put his knee up when you dove in for a single leg and busted you face.
It's always great to see high schools have a largely made up sport that is more important than half the actual school teams. We used to play a handball variant dubbed "speedball" in my high school and everyone was absurdly serious about it, even the people who never tried in gym. (quality players were also given a chance to play full court when we had a study hall instead of gym and a number of gym teachers allowed people to sit out on Fridays if they wanted so the game could be played at a higher level). The school ended up making an intramural league for it where pretty much every roster was full of soccer players/football players and wrestlers and I swear it was the most unreasonably intense athletic experience I've ever participated in.
Umm. Sorry?
You assume I was playing with basketball players. You assume there was some level of seriousness to the game. And, you assume that it was truly malicious on my part. I saw him coming at me, and my reaction was to protect myself, which I did.
If that causes you some level of butthurt, that's on you. Here, try this:
Well, they are Russians, so.....
If murderball was played by able-bodied people, it would probably look something like this.
Our version in high school was floor hockey, or as we called it, heat hockey. Have a bunch of testosterone filled high school boys play a game with sticks and you could guess how it went. Was supposed to be non-contact but after about 2 minutes we were body checking each other into the bleachers. Good times!
