Damaramu 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 Well guys I've just become an OU student athlete. No I didn't make it on the Sooner football team. I now play Rugby for the University of Oklahoma! Whoo! Rugby......a man's sport. It sounds like so much fun. We kill each other on the field then throw a party for the opposing team afterwards and everyone gets smashed together. *sniff* It's so beautiful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 You failed us. I thought everyone knew I didn't make the football team? I was playing football for the OFL but those assholes don't have their shit together. Plus I saw my chance to play for a school team and jumped for it. Besides Rugby's fun as shit and has such a great social side to it. I have no regrets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What position you gon' be playing, man? Oh I'm not sure what it was. I don't know much about the game but he said he was going to teach me everything I need to know. I believe it was Back Row...he said it was the position for the biggest guy on the team b/c well.....I'm the biggest guy on the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 right, makes sense then. is it actually a varsity team?? or like, a club, like our shitty university team is? We have both. A Varisty team for those of us that are eligible(which i'm on) and then a club team for those that are to old and have no eligibility left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 Yeah. I'm really excited. It should be a lot of fun. And he said "Hey if you turn out to be good enough you can go overseas. Several of our players have gone to Europe." Man......isn't it really huge in Europe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Just Looking Report post Posted March 1, 2004 Maybe you'll be second row- the position the big boys play. The only downside? You'll be sticking your head in between two guys' asses and reaching between one of the guy's legs. Just letting you know what you're getting into. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted March 1, 2004 I lived underneath some rugby loons when I was at school. They were never still, no matter what the hour, and more than twice was an empty keg flung from a third floor balcony into the parking lot below. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 Yeah Coach said we go to the clubhouse after games and feed the other team and give them beer. He also said that after practice we go to the clubhouse and drink and watch international rugby. I was looking at all the rugby players. None of them are like physical specimens like football players. As a matter of fact most of them have guts. But they're in great shape.......must be all the beer.

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 No, it's from raucous fighting. I hope you're willing to do that, a lot. Yeah.....I'm kind of weird. I've always enjoyed doing something physical that involves hard contact with another person. Plus I like to get hurt. Not seriously injured but I always like having a battle wound to show to someone. I'll have plenty of battlewounds after all of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted March 1, 2004 Ok, you're on the team. Starting lineups are determined unofficially by alcohol tolerance, too. At least this is true with midwestern intramural teams. I can't make this shit up, those people were insane drunkards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 Maybe you'll be second row- the position the big boys play. Excuse me? Big boys? Are you saying that little guys like myself can't play that position? Because I'll have you know I played second row on my freaking High School Rugby team and I was five feet four inchies at the time! And there was at LEAST 5 guys taller than me that weren't picked. No, it's from raucous fighting. I hope you're willing to do that, a lot. Yeah.....I'm kind of weird. I've always enjoyed doing something physical that involves hard contact with another person. Plus I like to get hurt. Not seriously injured but I always like having a battle wound to show to someone. I'll have plenty of battlewounds after all of this. You'll have battlewounds, scars and probably a lot of good friends. It's weird. In Rugby, you go out and literially murder people on the field, yet it probably has the most gentlemanly stuff happen off the field right after the genocide happens. Like I had one high school game where there was a brawl (my Gators were destroying the Stallions) and I think what was real weird is they let it go for at least ten minutes before someone finally came to break it up. Then again, I might be wrong, this one guy and I were just busting each other up, so my time factor is a little off. After the fight (since the game was over due to time expired not because of the fight), he and I got some lunch and sat down and laughed about the whole ordeal. Rugby's got the most interesting system of comradery as what happens on the field (almost) always stays on the field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 Yeah that's what I heard. And I'm really looking forward to the whole social aspect of the sport as well. On my football team there were cliques and guys that wouldn't help one another b/c they didn't like the person asking for help. Sure we came together for games. But there really wasn't that friendship and bond that a team is supposed to have. Here it seems like there will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But there really wasn't that friendship and bond that a team is supposed to have. Here it seems like there will be. Oh there will be. And if you had any former stigma like I did, you pretty much lose it by playing Rugby. You suddenly seem "Godly" for taking those big, bone-bruising hits. I know I was asked once or twice how the hell you take them. Considering I was so small, that also made me seem like a lunatic when I got plastered by guy that was six six. Considering your size and speed, Dama, you'll probably do fairly well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
