GA Peeps: Play some football?

[Velocifero]

Since someone else has no back bone I'll make the thread.

Couple of us were throwig around the other day and thought it would be fun to organize a little fun football game. we'd just meet up on a Sunday and head over to a field that we can find that would be accessible to the people that express interest and is open. The park we go to kick the soccer ball around at is open, but depending on the people that can commit we might need to find a better location.

It is incouraged to invite friends so that we can have enough people to actually have fun.

Luke will have to cheer because most likely he will get hurt.
We could do either two hand touch or make up some flags and play flags (might be able to get some from a rec center to borrow)

I guess we could play tackle but that might discourage the ladies from playing and Kevin B.

Anyone? we'll try this in January if the weather isnt too bad, but it is football.

hey, i used to play football with my old church. we'd play til someone had to go the hospital (torn ACL, knee cap split open, etc.)

The one thing I'd suggest is NO metal cleates.

 

[noleson]

sounds like fun, i might be able to make it once and a while. I used to play tackle with my friends a while ago, but it's been a few years....

If by football, you mean ultimate frisbee, then yes

 

[blacksrt47]

Sounds good to me.

 

[Velocifero]

If by football, you mean ultimate frisbee, then yes

yo stand there and we'll throw the football at you.

 

[aMaff]

lol. Ultimate > football. And I say that because I can throw a disk, and can't throw a football to save my life. And yes Scott, if fits my limp wristed throwing style....

 

[Shadow102]

this could be do-able i would suggest feb sometime or early march when it starts to warm up a little since the weather is too erratic right now to get a good day

ok so dont throw the football...ultimate frisbee is good and all but you have to have some decent frisbee skill to make the game ammusing instead of everybody just throwing the disc in the huge lazy arc until it goes out

 

[blacksrt47]

If we do it in Feb on a Sunday, then it would have to be early in the day for me b/c I have soccer games later in the day.

i got mad frizb3e sk1llz son!

muff = tackling dummy

 

[aMaff]

Are you calling me a dummy? (sad2)

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

lol no, just sounds like thats all you'll be good for on the football field...


Ultimate frizbee.....wtf? You hippie.....

Are you calling me a dummy? (sad2)

 

[aMaff]

I can catch a football, I just can't throw it lol

And ultimate has enough contact to be considered not-hippy

At least, it did when we played for lacrosse conditioning back in HS lol

 

[ZeroAccess]

I'll play.
I'm still a fatass so I ain't running fast or far but give me the ball and I'll bet my car that I'll move the damn thing.

I use to play in HS and actually shattered my ankle playing in a field..But I did score a touchdown on the play . Seriously though I wanna start shedding some lbs so if I'm not at work or tied up (which is 99% of the time) I'd LOVE to play some tackle. Two-Hand touch doesn't work for me because well theres a whole lot to touch lol.

 

[Keno1542]

i'll play...depending on where it is. me and my friends play, so maybe they will come out to this too...depending on where we play. there is always occee park to play at...its actually a good place to play...big fields.

 

[BigB]

We could probably play on the front lawn at my work. As long as I am there I don't think it would be a problem.

 

[kcbhiw]

I think I got called out.

I'll play, or at least try. My thrown footballs are as smooth as a potato rolling down a hill.

 

[BigB]

I think I got called out.

I'll play, or at least try. I throw like a 12 year old girl.
