As funny as that article appeared, this is the exact sort of thing that has irked me for quite some time. It seems more and more that we are living in an angry, confrontational society. It has gotten to the point where I have changed my lifestyle simply to avoid this type of behavior. For example, when I was an undergrad at UT, I used to enjoy playing ball at Gregory Gym. But now, I am scared to return out of fear of confrontations not too dissimilar from the one in the Cookie Monster article. It seems that every time I play a game of pickup ball there and maybe miss a shot or two, a teammate [who is a complete stranger] will start screaming at me, cussing me out, and doing everything short of thrashing me with his fists right then and there. Usually, I just bite my tounge and take it as I know if I mutter anything at all to provoke my assailant that I will end up leaving the gym in a wheelchair. However, I have had so many "WHAT THE F*** WERE YOU THINKING TAKING THAT MOTHER F***ING SHOT YOU STUPID F***ING [racial epithet deleted] PR*CK" type remarks hurled right into my face by complete strangers that I have virtually stopped going. I used to hoop it up at Gregory 5 days a week after classes. Now, even though I am not a student any more, I go once a month maximum. And when I do go, it's not enjoyable. I spend so much energy doing things to minimize the chance of confrontations that I hardly feel like I'm playing a game. Ah well...such is the plight of being a short, skinny, quiet, funny-looking kid looking for a game of b-ball. ------------------ [This message has been edited by WickBrunson (edited June 25, 2001).]

Don't let anyone tell you how to ball Wick. They are just frustrated with their own lives. You should come to the YMCA, we play ball at lunch 5 times a week. DaDakota ------------------ If you like RTS games, check out this one. www.frontierwars.com coming soon to a PC near you.
What you are describing is called street ball. I am not a big fan of street ball because it is so physical. The unwritten rule is not to call fouls unless you are tackled or you will be labeled a *****. The guys who are verbally abusive think that they're hot shots. I refuse to ball at Gregory unless I have friends with me. It's no fun when you have to wait for people, but when you out number the hot shots it feels so good. I also don't ball on the "ballers court". Some of these guys are ex-high school players or those who couldn't make the grade to play in college. If you run with them then you gotta expect the verbal abuse. The ballers play on the side with the indoor track. You might see a few UT players there from time to time. The recreational player plays on the volleyball side. Remember. Most people who talk **** won't back it up. I know that if someone were to swing at me, 6-8 other guys would also jump in. Safety in numbers. [This message has been edited by Smokey (edited June 26, 2001).]
Sorry to hear about your experience, Wick. I never had those kind of problems playing at the Greg. Sure there are lots of guys who think they are hot sh*t and refuse to pass the rock, but that is going to happen anywhere you play. You can always play on the 3 courts on the volleyball side, like Smokey said, although I don't think they are as nice. Also, there is always the rec center, which has 3 or 4 good courts as well. Damn, I miss hooping at UT! It was always easy to find some guys to run with, any hour of the day. ------------------ I'm so amazingly cool you could keep a side of meat in me for a month.

Thanks for the advice guys. I think part of the problem is that I'm just too sensitive. Stuff that shouldn't get to me does all the time. I should stop trying to get into UT gyms anyways as the staff there has probably caught on to the fact that my old student ID is about as legit as a $30 bill. ------------------
