Standaround starts today

[pancho villa]

The standaround sponsors are all fired up to start raking and watering dirt. And wearing tight pants around little boys.

As a baseball fan, I should be offended at all your comments but I always end up laughing.

Ditto. You know for someone who claims to hate "standaround" he sure knows an awful lot about what those guys are doing. :thinking:

It sure beats watching kids run in circles. :D

AKA "turn left". :D

[seasick4]

Yeah! hehehehe Watching kids run in circles. Wait hold on.........Turn left at all 4 corners, jump over anything in your way, and dont stop until the finish line. Isn't that more standaround than standaround coaches do?

[kaorder1999]

Track is far more interesting and fun to watch then baseball...in my opinion. There are far more things to watch.

[kaorder1999]

At least in track you have multiple events with opportunities for MANY more athletes to compete!


--long jump
--high jump
--pole vault
--triple jump
--shot put
--discus
--4x100
--2 mile
--400
--800
--100
--1600
--4x200
--4x400
--110 hurdles
--300 hurdles
--100
--200

Yes, there is nothing like watching someone heave a rock and fling a saucer in the air. :thumbsup: :D :p

[pancho villa]

Track is for the off-season athletes.

Standaround is for the non-athletes.

Our standaround sponsor is on a diet cause he can't get into those tight pants.

anybody can throw a baseball....it takes a lot of technique and skill to throw the shot and discus well.

:hand: Not everyone can thow a baseball. If they could you wouldn't have anyone to throw those rocks & fling those saucers. :)

How do you teach someone not to get dizzy when turning/running in circles?? :thinking:

But it takes even more technique and skill to hit a round object with another round object squarely.

And name another sport where the defense has the ball and outnumbers the offense 9-1.

[kaorder1999]

give a 5 year old a bat and ball and he will hit the ball. Give a 5 year old a discus or shot put and he will have no idea how to throw it correctly no matter how much you teach him. But he can hit a ball with a bat.

Not everybody can hit the ball every time you throw it to him...go officiate a few 8-10 yr old baseball games...and you will be PRAYING that every kid can make contact with the pitch.

[kaorder1999]

but hey....ive never been a baseball fan so I will never say much positive about the sport!!

Not everybody can throw a baseball WELL. Plus...the accuracy that's required in making a throw is MUCH greater than when competing in shot and discus. Hitting a target that's at most a few feet wide is a bit harder than the very wide fiield that a thrower aims for.

[pirate4state]

You guys are taking the fun right out of this thread!! :rolleyes: :doh:

GAH!!!

[kaorder1999]

Other Reasons I hate Baseball!

1) Baseball is a sport in which EVERY fan in the stands believe they can coach and in most cases is a better coach then the coach himself.

2) Coaches or managers wear a uniform??? Dont really understand that at all!

3) A negative comment is made after EVERY PITCH, 100% of the time, towards the umpires! Can't stand that!

MORE TO COME!

Hey that's an extremely important aspect of the sport. I believe it is called "riding the pine" and only a select few get chosen for that important job.:D

Yes, they are a very special select group!

We will be okay. Realignment didn't do me any favors, throwing us into the district with Odem and George West. Also, 10 of the top 25 teams in the state are in our region.

We will be in Pantherland on February 27.

Most standaround and run in circle teams wont really get going until they get their thump thump guys or at least thats how it is in Fairfied. Whats the nicknames for golf and tennis?

not really, the 2000 team (i think that was the year) had 3 players that are now in the minor leagues (Brian Finch, Matt Varner, Jared Wells) and a few others who played in college...but they were taken out in the regional semis by...i think it was Nederland (don't quote me on that)

When did you guys move down to 3A? I've been looking at the archives (http://www.uil.utexas.edu/athletics/archives/) and can't find anything. Just curious.

I have seen many of the "run around in circle" coaches looking to see what the real strategists are doing with the stand arounds. I guess they are intrigued more by those on-goings than theirs.

In looking at the archives I think you are referring to the 1998 team that lost to Nederland 8-3 in the Region Semifinal. Nederland lost in the next round to Brenham. In 1999, WC lost in the area round to New Caney.

In 1998, Sinton lost to Liberty 6-1 in the state semis and Liberty lost to West 9-7.

In 1999, Sinton lost to Yoakum in the Region semi-final and Yoakum made it all the way to state only to lose to China Spring.

:nerd: I love history. I even found my name in those archives. :inlove:

your right, it was the 98 and 99 teams. they really under-achieved in 99, the coaches used to tell us that story every year when we got to the playoffs.....

those 3 guys (the minor leaguers who were already signed to play college) all went out jet-skiing the day of the playoff game.

10 Reasons Baseball Is a Weird Sport

1. If a batter fails two-thirds of the time, they're still considered an excellent batter. It's too bad this standard isn't applied to everything else in life.

2. It is legal to "steal" in this game. This is, perhaps, a questionable example for children.

3. If you aren't such a good hitter, you can have a pinch hitter bat for you. If you aren't such a fast runner, you can have someone--a pinch runner--come in and run for you. At what point, you might wonder, is a team entirely comprised of "pinch" players?

4. There's a rule preventing pitchers from spitting on the ball. They can spit anywhere else they like, apparently.

5. If a batter walks with the bases loaded, he is credited with an RBI (Run Batted In). That's right: even though he didn't hit the ball.

6. The game is played on dirt and grass, but if the ball gets dirty, it is replaced with a new clean ball.

7. If a batter accidentally hits the catcher when swinging, it's the catcher's fault, even if the catcher gets injured. The batter is awarded a base. The catcher gets an apology, if he's lucky.

8. The coaches and managers wear the same uniforms as the players.

9. When a pitcher walks a batter, the batter jogs to first base. Incongruous, but it is a nice show of effort.

10. The 7th-inning stretch makes baseball the only sport where spectators must take part in calisthenics.

For more about this strange and wonderful game, see Encarta Encyclopedia's baseball article.

Is anyone else excited to hear tomorrows report on the stand around sponsers????

[pancho villa]

The stand aroundsponsers are sad today because of the rain last night and the forecast of rain for the next 2 days.

But on a bright note they can go in the gym and hit whiffle balls.

[pancho villa]

The asst. standaround sponser just came into the coaches office and said "Hey guys look at my new fungo" We all just started laughing and told him to "Go rake some baselines you numbnut"
