Nah, they'll just have her keep score.

/Home run!

Neither does the SEC.

No, basketball is that game here you hit home runs.

You're thinking of hockey.

You're confused. Hockey's the one where two guys beat each other up.

Wrong number of guys, but that sounds about right.

So what is baseball then?

I must be confused because what you're describing sounds like boxing.

Perhaps she will teach the SEC Foosball players to speak halfway decent English

Its that game where you score by hitting the ball into the net with your head and then screaming 'GGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL!'

I thought badminton was the one where you stood in front of those sticks with a canoe paddle while someone threw a wooden ball at your genitals.

Pretty sure that's tennis.

Soccer?

SEC's games are played among two or more consenting adults.

Any other grouping requires a chair.

 
Corvus 2008-12-18 09:08:19 AM  
But can she play point guard?

 
Corvus 2008-12-18 09:11:14 AM  
Dwight_Yeast: Confused dog is confused.

I think submitter was trying to make some sort of college football reference joke?

Maybe like it sounds like a NCAA conference?

Just my guess.

No boxing is people submerging in the pool of water and compete to see who can reach the other side first.

Only if she gets out of line.

That's ping Pong.

Tennis is the one where you slide the rock across the ice and have your buddies sweep up before it gets there. Just like darts.

No, that's croquet. Tennis is where you throw a horse's sneaker towards a stick in the ground

Why are you confused? There's nothing confusing going on here. Seriously. Subby made a joke about the SEC being two different things.


That was confusing?

Don't make fun, submitter. Sometimes mistakes like that happen in real life.

One day (years ago) my roommate came home and said that he'd been at a seminar on the SEC. For a moment, I thought he meant the Southeastern Conference. And when I said so, he looked at me like I was the stupidest person ever to come out of stupidtown.

No that is Jai Lai, Tennis is the one that you where Teenage women wear short kilts and carry funny looking sticks and try to hit rubber balls into nets.

No, stupid. That's the sport where drivers make left turns for 3 hours in a giant oval.

Oh wait....that's not a sport. Nevermind.

At least the SEC nailed that dangerous Martha Stewart.

Unfortunately, they were too busy screwing Martha to notice that $55 billion Bernie Madoff thing.

yeah...same idea, but 11 or so guys pummelling each other ain't it?
