Like, J.K., dog, why aren't they just racing on the flying brooms? You don't know poo poo about sports, just have them do a race around the school or something. Obstacle course race maybe, oh no there's a big dragon you gotta fly around.

Is this Heaven?
Iowa State's depth is such that Joel Lanning, who has not played defense since high school, is currently their starting middle linebacker. Seems maybe less than ideal.

Iowa's depth chart has some issues right now too. Matt VandeBerg, our only halfway decent wide receiver, reinjured the foot he broke last season and is going to miss spring practice. They say he'll be fine by June but that still really sucks, especially since we're breaking in a new QB. Without him we were a pretty strong contender for having the worst wide receivers in all of FBS last year. If he can't play there's a pretty decent chance we start a walk on JuCo transfer.

Oh man you just reminded me that in HS I was in like a generic lifting and conditioning class for people who didn't want to do a team sport that semester, and we ended up inventing an incredibly fun game we called Anarchyball. It was sort of like ultimate frisbee played with a squishy foam ball and soccer goals, except it was full-contact and you were free to run around with the ball once you got within a certain distance of the goal. Once you got within scoring range basically the whole defending team would just form a wall in front of the goal, then you'd have to pass it to one of your big players who could lower a shoulder and try to Run The Dang Ball down their throats or just dive over/through them. If the runner got stood up, the attacking team would form up behind them and try to push the whole other team past the plane of the goal.

No pads, coed. Somehow everyone always had a great time and nobody got especially injured.

We did this at recess and it was an extremely satisfying game if you were an offensive lineman who longed to score touchdowns because you were suddently the most valuable player on the team

Yeah, and even in Clemson's loss to Pitt, Watson set a single game ACC passing record. Not a flawless game on his part, but blame that one on the defense.

Oh well, maybe that chip on his shoulder pushed his performance in the post season.

None of those people played a team sport past the age of like 8, it's so sad.

I say that not just because it's obvious how unathletic they are but that anyone who had the social skills gained from playing team sports as they grew up would know to never do something so dumb as play a sport from a fantasy book about people who use magic.
