Hmmm, so at 35 I should probably start focusing on treachery. I want to have a few years experience under my belt when I hit the big 4-0. Is there a handbook for that sort of thing? :D

Can someone explain "intramural" to me

Take the ten worst howler monkey coaches you know.

Now take away 15 years of maturity (I know - some coaches don't even have that much!) from each of them.

Split them up into teams of five and have them play each other.

(If frat leagues) - add a few brownpops.



Pretty much describes it all.

Age doesn't mean a thing--except for perhaps that I can run faster and see sharper than some of you old fogies (hehe)

What does mean a thing is experience. That's why I left this scenario up to the experts.

And my psycology professor would love to discuss with you how you can condition your brain into feeling young at any age. I'm not very good at this always, because sometimes I feel so old I can't roll out of bed.

The intramural league is open to students and staff of the university I attend that are not members of the JV and varsity basketball teams. Here at my college, the guy in charge of intramurals is a elected member of student government, and has a cabinent of student volunteers. That's the best explanation i can give.

Malcolm --

"Intramurals" is the correct spelling for what most folks mis-pronounce "intermurals". Intra- means "within" and inter- means "between". So intramurals are activities where the competition is within an institution, whereas intermurals are between institutions.

I don't do the grammar thing very often on this board, because no one really gives a hoot, but you asked....

So it is like Gorilla Ball

Well, Gorillas are usually more skilled and don't whine as much.

I'm not sure what you mean, or even if you are asking me, but when I said we don't count personal fouls--i meant that nobody fouls out. We still call fouls, and count them against the team. However, these games can get pretty rough, and many of the ref's in the league call fouls pretty loosely.

When players don't foul out, and there are no coaches, it can turn into one big foul fest. Gorilla ball pretty much sums up where some of these games go, or where some players go in these games.
