Not really me but still a cool story.

I coach high school basketball and in 2012 we were playing a cross town rival,whom we hadn't beat in 10 years, in the district semi-final game. We both had good teams but this team we were playing was a state final 4 team the last 3 years

We were down 6 with 8 seconds left. My PG shoots a 3 and gets fouled. Makes all 3 FTs, we are now down 3. On the inbound play we tip a pass, grab the ball, and the same kid Shoots a 3 and gets fouled again. 1.7 seconds left. Nails all 3 again.

Game goes to overtime and we win in 2 OT. We ended up making it to the Elite 8 in the state. Pretty awesome to be a part of. That team was just a special team. Never gave up in anything

Wow, I'm sure that was a fun team to coach.

Was actually in junior division.



I knew this guy in high school that would keep track of his stats during the game. Would yell it out constantly. Most annoying dude ever. I try sometimes but always forget.

It's a line from an Ice Cube song "It was a good day" :)

I was women's all university intramural punt, pass, and kick champion at UT in '76 I think. I didn't out kick, out punt, or out throw anyone but my total yards beat everyone else! I punted & kicked barefoot - you can take the girl out of the 'hollers' but you can't take the hillbilly out of the girl! :)

It's all good. My knees have been screwed for awhile, but the last 6 months they are just done. When I play I'm damn near crippled the next day. Too much playground basketball and getting older is a *****. Lol

Ever forget which one supposed to be the bad knee? I banged one up in a wreck, but the older I get the other one hurts just as much.

Both of mine are shot, though the left is a little worse. We used to play from noon till dark on the playground courts, I played pretty much every day till I was 25 or so. Basically I don't have much cartilage left. I still get around perfectly fine, but if I sit for too long they crack And pop when I stand, and I walk like a zombie for a few steps. If I play any sports I have to soak them in the tub then ice them for a couple hours, then hobble around a couple days. Its pretty awesome. Lol

Edit: This cold is a *****, I have to wear knee braces once it hits about 30.

I once wrestled VN user Hobock under the G-10 ramp during a tailgate. Also, we verbally abused a University of Missouri sousaphone player. She almost cried. Go vols.

As a former band geek, I'm ashamed of you Ron. But you're lucky it wasn't a UT sousaphone player. The girls were tougher than a lot of the guys back when I was at UT and they would have beat the crap out of both of you.

When I was a member of POTS, the field was still carpet, so we practiced in the stadium. After practice, we used to play backyard football in Neyland Stadium. That was fun.

Great moments in Weezer's sports history:

Soccer - In kindergarten, I passed the ball to the guy that passed the ball to the guy that kicked the ball through a school window. Shattered the crap out of it. We were never allowed to play soccer during recess again. I was okay with that, cause truth be told, I hated soccer.

Football - Never played organized football, but played lots of backyard football(the product of being a military brat and moving a lot). When I was 8, there was a group of us all around the same age except for one teenager who was pretty much unstoppable. Guy had a big ego because he could run over 8-10 year olds. Anyway, I was the only one between him and a touchdown, so I ran at him, and right before I got to him, instead of trying to tackle him I just threw myself at his legs while curling up into a ball. Caught him by complete surprise. Flipped him upside down, caused him to fumble, picked up the ball and ran it for a touchdown. Then I ran home because by that time he was getting up and he was severely pissed. I wasn't sticking around to get beat up.

Baseball - Played little league on a military base. One year, I made a spectacular game saving catch that helped us win the league championship. It was complete luck because I wasn't that good. All my friends on the opposing team were pissed at me. Ironically, the coach of the team we beat was my next door neighbor. He was cool about it. His son, who played for him, didn't speak to me for a few days.

Basketball - I suck at basketball. I'd rather play HORSE.

Hockey - My best friend's parents used to have seats right next to the penalty box for Knoxville's hockey team. I was really good at taunting opposing players.

Where I really excelled was video games sports. My accomplishments there are too numerous to list. I will say I kicked Mike Tyson's ass back in the day though.

Hit my one and only home run of my high school baseball career, sophomore year. I was the slow, fat, short, white kid. Drilled it to left center on one of the biggest fields in the county. On top of that my new girlfriend, now wife was there. I guess that impressed her enough to stay with me.
