Living in Kansas City, MO here where March Madness made driving and life miserable for many years.<br /><br />Actually, I played basketball on a championship team when I was in high school in Oklahoma (back in the day when they made girls play half-court) before I moved to Kansas where there were no girls high school sports, at all. Huge shock! I used to follow college and pro basketball avidly, but over the years, the game has changed so much from the game of skill it used to be plus I gave up television. We're a house divided--I'm UMKC and K-State, Ben's Missouri and KU--but neither of us is a big sports fan. You can't live in KC and not know what's going on with those teams, though.<br /><br />I love the idea of camping videos, Deb! I'd rather not do the actual camping anymore, but watching someone else do it in the wilderness would be fun, I think.Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-84622588596340956792012-03-24T13:07:57.679-04:002012-03-24T13:07:57.679-04:00Grew up in an athletic family w/sports-playing and...Grew up in an athletic family w/sports-playing and watching dad and brother, and sports-indifferent mother (though she did bowl, golf, and even fish!). Played them all. And I am a Notre Dame grad -- you have to watch a game a year or your forfeit your diploma. But a few years without TV access (most of the 1990s) seems to have wiped out my sports-watching gene. And then I married a guy who hikes, sails, does martial arts -- and doesn't even know what ESPN stands for. (Does anyone, actually?) But I've been known to go to a sports bar alone for the World Series and playoffs, and have now even turned my hunny into an October fan. :)Leslie Budewitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942314846112875042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-62534880117394365652012-03-24T12:59:34.249-04:002012-03-24T12:59:34.249-04:00These videos are actually "bush craft" a...These videos are actually "bush craft" and there's apparently a huge audience for this stuff.<br /><br />This link is from a guy who's my favorite, an adorable Austrian named Sepp. But you follow these different people, who post regular videos.

Now in his 70s he watched several baseball games a day -- he's lost his hearing now but with the games you don't need to hear to know what's going on. However, having been to a handful of pro games there is just no comparison. If I lived a big city, I would have to figure out a way to get season tickets. I love the smells and noises. For a while, my brother in law worked for the Rockies so that was fun.<br />One of the first dates with my husband was at a local minor league hockey game. I told him if a puck came my way to protect me. Oh yeah yeah. OF COURSE, a puck hit me at my first game, right in the shoulder. OF COURSE Steve MOVED IN THE OTHER OTHER DIRECTION. I can watch hockey on tv. <br />Football, yes. Soccer, no. Unfortunately not having the control of the remote control, over the years I've learned more about racing, fighting/wrestling and shooting than I ever wanted. <br />Olympics - I prefer Winter to Summer.

It took me three tries to get back to today's JRW blog post. I kept coming up with something from May 2008when I clicked on "comments".<br /><br />Hallie...are you implying that golf is a soporific? If so, perhaps I should buy DVDs of golf games to keep on hand for sleepless nights!<br /><br />Time to head off to my Saturday "sport": tossing laundry into various receptacles, snatching it back again, adjusting the paraphernalia after things wind down...AKA "folding".<br /><br />See you later,Reds writers and readers!

Except for figure skating. ...I am not a sports fan. Except for figure skating. (I even took lessons when I was in my twenties. I flunked the lesson on falling,though, and the instructor seemed to think I was a Lost Cause from that point on.) When I hear people throwing around sports terms and I KNOW they are speaking English (at least I THINK they are) but I don't understand what on earth the words mean, it's hard not to worry that I might have had a stroke! It's a relief to realize that they're just speaking "sports".<br /><br />In college I attended a handful of basketball games and found that I actually enjoyed myself. Then I tried watching basketball on TV but found it to be a little boring. Because I live in CT I am of course a UConn ladies fan even though I never watch the games. Just as you cannot change your eye color,you cannot help but be a UConn ladies fan here. People here fill you in on what's happening even if you don't ask them to. If you run into someone somewhere and the person tells you "I have to go home to watch the ladies",you just KNOW they are talking about UConn basketball. Even I know that much.<br /><br />My youngest sister is such an avid/rabid UConn fan that I've learned not to call her when there's a game on TV. If I visit her, I leave for home if a game is about to begin. She applies all her brain cells towards concentrating on the game. You'd think the players were her own daughters! <br /><br />Baseball? Not really my thing, although by birth I am a Yankees fan.(You can't choose your relatives,you can't change your eye color, you must be a fan of the team your fanatical relatives follow. Except that somehow my sister the UConn fan grew up to be a Mets fan. At least she's a New York fan.)<br /><br />Football??? Oh, God,no!!! I'd rather spend the afternoon at the dentist! The longest I've ever been able to tolerate a football game before leaving the room or picking up a book is five minutes.Deb Romanonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-55349797712689673372012-03-24T08:17:45.149-04:002012-03-24T08:17:45.149-04:00Ah, women after my own heart.

My mother is a rabid college basketball fan. March Madness is her favorite time of year. I'm a Duke and Ohio State fan. And, being from Ohio, it's Ohio State all the way in basketball & football. Those are my first 2 sports loves, but I'll also watch NASCAR, with even tennis and golf once in a while. And, I'll watch the Olympics withe the rest of the country and Deborah.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-30444037141713942702012-03-24T08:13:30.445-04:002012-03-24T08:13:30.445-04:00ps Ramona, that's fascinating! they should war...ps Ramona, that's fascinating! they should warn people...Lucy Burdettehttp://www.lucyburdette.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-17494804758871099032012-03-24T08:12:27.415-04:002012-03-24T08:12:27.415-04:00Yes, I want to hear about the camping videos too. ...Yes, I want to hear about the camping videos too.
