Kickball Game

-Today was the Kickball game in my school, and special Kickball game TEACHERS vs. SENIOR STUDENTS!!!!!!
-It was a though match.... even though we lost 27-18 that's really good after all we started at 12-0 and then gained on them....and last year it was a Volleyball game...... and students lost 1-50 to the teachers......
-Lol currently my feet hurt but it was a fun game..... I would have never expected our Math and Social Studies teachers hit that good and how our Gym teacher actually sucked at kicking but good at catching......well it was am awesome game too bad it's only once a year and one year except if I get left back lol....but I doubt that......

Couldn't you have talked about this in the convo thread or the Bar? That's really more the place for conversation. :\

I don't meant to be rude, but there really doesn't need to be a thread about your day. It's a big selfish and egotistical.

The bar and the convo thread are more than suited for your topic. Please direct things like this there from now on. :)

Uhhhh how can you gain on someone who has a lower score than you?

I don't see anything wrong with it..
What are threads supposed to be about if they can't be about
conversations...games? election polls? posting pictures of random stuff?
In the bar, a post will just pass by and maybe be
discussed by 1 or 2 people. I think the reason OT has become inactive
is because we have less conversation threads.

Sounds fun Modlol. My school is doing that too i think pretty soon.

We've got several convo threads, a bar, and an ACTUAL convo thread. I think that's our problem. We derail every thread and make it into a convo thread. Or we make 10 different convo threads.

Luckily, we've got threads about legitimate debates that have yet to be convo threads or all we'd have is convo threads and games (which usually have convos in them). I just dont see why we needed another one and thought it would've been more appropriate to place it in the other available convo threads.

Otherwise people will post everytime they have a nose bleed or a big test at school.

Just my opinion.....

As I said, most posts in the bar and convo thread will be passed up and maybe discussed by
a few people. Most threads are derailed into spam, not conversations. Not everyone who comes
to OT wants to debate things... And I'm not talking about a general conversation thread, I'm
talking about specific topics. Not little things like a nose bleed or a big test, but just something
people would like to share that could be discussed.

I can see both points of view as regards this being a new thread vs. posting in the bar. I think that as it currently stands (as of 7:27pm) the thread topic is "closed" as in, the topic is basically "here's something cool that happened today" - for it to be a more obviously valid standalone thread I think there needs to be a clearer invitation for other members to give opinions and feedback, for example by adding a phrase like "what stories of teachers vs student games do y'all have?"

That's the problem on forum it's "Off Topic" Forum but that doesn't mean that each post has to be off topic from the first one.....I see that sooo.... many times it's just put something random in.......

Seriously dude, I'd just edit your opening post to open it up for debate more. It's not a disaster or anything.

I've played in more than my fair share of staff vs. student soccer matches and the students are always surprised when I go in for the crunchy tackles time after time. It's like they expect the teachers to not bring it.

I also remember being a kid at high school watching the staff vs. student basketball game, where all the most popular jocks got crushed by the chemistry and PE teachers. As a student, it's depressing to watch stuff like that.

Old Bole hit the nail right on the head.

Played kickball a lot in first and second grade, so this brings back a lot of fond memories. :) :) :)

Chemistry teachers are beast at football.
A 6'8 senior at our school got leveled by our chemistry teacher when the were playing football... And that senior is supposed to go into professions football..


Oh, btw, this is "American Football", like rugby. Not kick the ball football..
Although it's kinda dumb, football as in American Football almost has no feet contact.
