When I moved to the deep South, the kids here called it "Scared to Pick It Up"

It was tackle the man with the ball officially.

I apologize for the gender specific nature of the name but that is how it was in the 60's. Dark ages

This is a good thread.

I still play smear the queer to this day.

My 9th grade team tied Shelton 6-6. Only game we didn't lose and only TD all year

Take that flea

Jesus.

Reminding a Highclimber of a game like that isn't exactly Nebraska classy.

When I played at SHS, we played against Olympia in a televised game on a Saturday. The Bears kicked the shit out of us and made us look like pussies.

I killed a deer later that day in an attempt to still look logger tuff.

If you smeared blood and feces all over yourself after the kill you succeeded.

I responded by mentioning that when I was in fifth grade I had six quarterback sacks and 3 fumble recoveries in one game against the Newport Colts.

Oddly enough, the Newport Colts' offensive line was coached that year by Dan Cozzetto.

Actually, and this is 100% true, the Colts lined up in mammoth splits. Like 3 feet apart. And I just lined up between them and kept shooting through the gap.

Were you stemming? I hear that causes lot of problems for an OL.

when I was in 8th grade I was a "flanker"...had no idea what that really meant since our team ran the ball basically every play except for when we fumbled and the other team ran it back. It bothered me because I wanted the patch on my jacket to read "wide receiver" because it sounded cool and flanker sounded weird. BUT... I caught 2 passes one game - both for first downs on the only 2 passes thrown to me in 3 years. Cool story, huh.

Footnote - I caught more than I dropped.

We played Smear the Queer in grade school, in 1999, not sure what happened after that. At least it was still alive in 1999.

It was officially smear the queer in my neighborhood. Good times. It was popular at my elementary school too, we were allowed to play it during recess. We were too young to know what queer really meant, we all thought it meant dumbass with the ball about to get smeared. Either way, teachers appreciated the energy burn since in those days ADD was something you learned in math class.
