Sports topics

[RedPop4]

Where is the correct place in the Lounge to discuss sports? I don't see anyone else mentioning it, though, is it allowed? Is it allowed, but frowned upon by the members?

I'm just wondering.
I know there's a collective disdain for baseball caps, here, although I thought when I posted the Cooperstown Collection on the Hats board that the historical curiosity of many here would be piqued.

I started a thread in the observation bar when the steelers made the super bowl.

Don't see many others ...

I guess I wasn't assiduous enough in my search, Baron.
I wear my heart on my sleeve as it were, through my avatar.

Today's also the Champions' League final, and I'd be curious as to what my fellow loungers thought about that.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Keeper sent off in the first 20 minutes, and Arsenal still seem to be playing Barca off the park (if the BBC online updates are accurate). Good on 'em. Not my team, but England certainly is the best football in europe (probably in the world) right now.

I'm watching the UEFA minute by minute.
Barca just drew level through Samuel Eto'o

 

[scotrace]

Not frowned upon at all that I know of.

probably the Observation Bar.

The Cooperstown Hats site got a big airing in early 05, long thread. I think most guys here would love to have one of their caps.

 

[RedPop4]

I have a couple and would love a couple more.

IN other news.
Belletti scores in the 81st minute to give Barca a 2-1 lead.

That's what i get for speaking too soon, innit.

Are there any oarsmen out there? You know, rowing (crew), sculling? Just wondering...

 

[Marc Chevalier]

There are plenty of target shooters. A few fencers. Tons of monitor jockeys ...

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

.......a few flyboys, some armchair generals, probably quite a few chess players,.....

 

[Irena]

I swim!

I will probably follow the occasional sports thread. I'm primarily a football and baseball fan.

And sooner or later, you'll probably see my alma mater's athletic logo in my avatar: the Washington State University Cougars!

For those of you who may not be familiar with it, take a look and you'll see that the shapes in the Cougar's head spell out W - S - U. This logo was created by a friend's uncle in the late 30's and was adopted by the university shortly afterwards. As far as I know, it's the only artistic/graphic logo in the US that contains the university's acronym as part of the design.

Go, COUGS!

 

[Etienne]

Very cool!

 

[RedPop4]

Pilgrim, I would have never imagined that logo was that old. Good on 'em.

Etienne, I'm not an oarsman, but last night, MythBusters took on the oarsmen, and tried to water ski behind an 8 man.

Didn't get to see the result, just knew they were doing it, and couldn't sit to watch the whole episode.

 

[Jack Scorpion]

I'm a baseball fan. Oakland Athletics and Chicago Cubbies.

Etienne, our mascot in High School was a Gondolier, if that counts. I played ball for them.

 

[Hannigan Reilly]

I am a big college football and basketball fan. And the Chicago Cubs.

Orginially being from Pittsburgh, I'm a huge Steelers fan. Normally I follow football and baseball and maybe college basketball if Syracuse is playing. My basic sports theory is: if Pittsburgh has a team involved, I'm a fan of it (except for hockey, really. I somehow managed to miss the hockey vibe).

 

[Doh!]

It's a long fly ball to Because.

I love baseball. When we get to St. Louis, will you tell me the guys' names on the team so when I go to see them in that St. Louis ballpark I'll be able to know those fellows?

--Sure, but you know, strange as it may seem, they give ball players nowadays very peculiar names.

Funny names?

--Nicknames, pet names. Now, on the St. Louis team we have Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third...

I'm a huge football fan, both college and pro and a faithfull follower of my Beloved Cincinnati Bengals. God rest your sainted soul Mr. Paul Brown.

I'm used to follow NASCAR religiously but not so much the last three or four seasons.
