Anyone here play football while they were in school?

[Ryan]

Lol - I just got approached by some coach to join a local team while I was checking out cars at the local Toyota stealership

I played offensive and defensive tackle in junior high and high school - dropped it when I moved here because people here in the south are too fanatical about it - it's like a religion. I was kind of flattered that he asked me, but I told him I wasn't interested - It was something I enjoyed, but I don't feel like tearing myself up again.

Anyway - any of you play during high school, or currently?

 

[rudeguy]

I did. I played strong side guard and nose tackle til I blew out both my knees.

 

[slightlyhuman]

ahaha, *FLASHBACK* we used to call one guy "shower tower" because he had a boner in the shower one morning.

good times

Yep, started at center my 11th and 12th grade years. Played LB in 9th and 10th grade. Made All-South Texas.

I went through a severly sprained ankle, two sprained knees the same week, and did something to my back during a weight lifting session. So I know what you mean about tearing your body up.

It was fun though. Lot of great memories and it was fun to knock the snot out of people. I wanted to play at the Univ of Alabama but I could never gain weight no matter how much I ate or worked out. I was perpetually stuck at 180.

we were retarded junior high kids?

 

[se7en]

8th - TE
9th - TE
10th-12th gained 20lbs and played OLB

My HS sucked tho so I wasn't ever really all that good.. .the whole team was kinda so so. I would play now for a community league or something I think that would be a ton of fun although in the South it is for sure almost a dedicated religion.

 

[PingSpike]

My highschool didn't even have a football team.

Lets add our moment of fame too.

We were playing our division rivals and the game was really close. This was the game that I messed up my left knee playing. Anyways, we were on defense and I broke through their line, swatted a hand off, and saved what would have been the game winning touchdown. We got the ball back and scored instead.

When I was limping off the field, one of the uber hot cheerleader came up to me and told me what a good game I had. God I miss those days.

nice! We never got to any finals but I swear nothin quite like coming thru / around the o-line and catching the qb on the blindside.. ..*shiver*. Next best thing which is great is to arrive just as he throws it b/c he has to follow thru but to do that he cannot brace for the hit.. .. yum yum

Yeah - when I was playing - my coach was my neighbor - it was fun, got together after school and practiced, BBQs, etc - made alot of great friends, and my team was #2 out of the local teams.

I moved here, showed the principle and coach my MVP trophy, awards, etc - and was told that I was pretty much guaranteed a spot on the team. I attended practice a few times, to see what it was like - but people here are totally freakin obsessed with the sh!t! I'd have to practice 2 hours before school, and from the time school let out until sun down 5 days a week - I said "Screw this" and didn't join.

My sister was also a cheerleader for my team too - so I had my own personal squad cheering for me each game

 

[HardcoreRobot]

[tfinch2]

7-8th TE
9th - WR
10th - quit to concentrate on basketball

I wish I could have had that, but I was always coming from right in front of him. I loved to trash talk the QB though. You knew you had got in his head when he looked at you before he looked at his receiver when they lined up.

 

[Argo]

Playe CB/WR in HS. Mostly CB.

 

[se7en]

OP.. no dount in my mind I would do it. Practice sux I know but whew the older I get football is as integrated in my life as my PC is. Talk to random ppl @ work, on the street at least once/twice a day bout different teams so if I had a chance now I would jump all over it. just my 3 1/2 cents.. .. btw im only 24 heh.. .I cant imagine @ 34

I had similar injures - sprained ankle, bad back. Both bother me even these days, at age of 24, so I'm probably stuck with them for the rest of my life. Last year of HS I also got a partial tear of the groin, which I didn't get repaired until senior year of college. As the result I couldn't play any sports in college, I couldn't even work out.

Florida is a football factory. They play pretty much year round. People are still shocked when I tell them about the "Football Class" that my Texas high school had. Basically it was either an hour of lifting weights or an hour of practicing in shirts and shoulderpads.

 

[BigPoppa]

6-8: Offensive guard/tackle. Defensive tackle/Nose guard depending on scheme.
9: Took a year off.
10: Defensive tackle. Quit after that year, was no longer any fun.

I personally find playing it to be the most fun - I HATE watching it on TV, I don't follow any teams. Plus - I just got a promotion offer that requires me to work anywhere from 40-50 hours a week, so it wouldn't be possible If I didn't have any fiscal responsibilities, I might think about it.

 

[JDub02]

I played inside linebacker, tight end, tackle, and even had a stint at center (which i hated).

 

[Ryan]

I do miss the workouts that I got too - I used to be built, not I'm just flabby

 

[Ryan]

Whoa - Just pulled out my old jerseys to try on - They still fit....barely lol
