Pole Tim: You're highest level of football played

High SchoolI "played" for a certain little high school which was quite the experience. And by little I mean it was and still is the largest high school in the state of Virginia. 25 years after the season which inspired Disney to make a different-racial-backgrounds-coming-together-to-win-title feel good movie, the school was significantly more diverse. And there were no Gerry Bertiers walking through that door; we had around 10 white doods on the team and we all sucked.
Rolling in as a 6'3" 145lb Freshman trying to play QB because you think you can read a defense, throw an ok football and aren't fast went amazingly well for a team trying to run the triple option. But my try hard slow strategy ass did so, no matter how many times I got blown up in practice. Try hard slow strategy gonna try hard slow strategy, so I was the punter and holder in addition to being a back up QB on the freshman team. And sometimes did kickoffs.
Bulked up to 190 and grew to 6'5" and kept on being backup QB but since the triple option was not going away I added TE and DE to my try-hardness since playing football is fun. That kept me around for the next 2 years before I got tired of knee injuries. I joined the debate team instead and was much more successful there.
Real life Bill Yoast could not coach me into a decent QB; real life Herman Boone didn't teach me shit about how to drive a car from his drivers ed class and real life Petey was an amazing equipment manager and hall monitor. I am forever grateful to Petey for getting me extra rib pads so I could keep getting destroyed with my 5.0 40 speed without dying. -

Important edit. Coaches name was Tramp, Tim Tramp, not trump.dirtysouwfdawg said:Alright, I’ll play. Two amazingly shitty stories.
Hoe’s Hill I played in 9th grade. Had never played so they had me suit up for the JV game. Had two picks in that game and returned one for 6. On O I just blocked all game because we didn’t throw the ball once. Game tied, 7-7 and I ask the coach to throw it to me. Have no clue what route I ran but caught this dead duck out of the sky and ran it for a TD. We win, definitely peeked at football that day.
Fast forward, senior yr, hadn’t played football since 9th grade but ended up as the starting DB going into camp at EWU. Scrimmaging some hillbilly school and they do a TE screen to this dude twice my size. I did my best Ronnie Lott impression and turned my self into a heat seeking missile. Well, I flipped and got an awesome concussion.
Decided it was a good idea to organize boxing matches while there as well. Concussion #2 in two days.
Decided I wanted a pizza so while the pizza guy ran pizzas to another dorm, I stole a box and devoured it with an under classman who just smoked a J all by himself. There was a 10 pizza bounty on my head and other guy didn’t snitch.
Then decided to go off campus and hook up a QP for us and a few other players from other schools. Also buying cigs for all the underagers as I was 18 senior yr.
Then hooked up with a cheer leader. Who fucking holds a cheerleading camp at the same place and time as a football camp.
Lost my starting spot from concussion #1 and saw mop-up time the rest of the year. Eventually quit cause the coach didn’t like me coming to weight training class high as fuck and then stealing money from the lockers. Fucking Trump.
At least camp was cool... kinda.
CSB, thanks. -

So I went to a really big tim football school in Texas (played for the State 5A Championship last year and were always at least solid going back decades). I think pictures always speak a thousand words, so I'll just show a random picture of the team and you can draw your own conclusions as to what the coaches thought when a skinny 115 pound dipshit half breed showed up for tryouts. Getting shitcanned not only probably saved my life, but also allowed me to find my true love, competitive weed smoking. State Champion 1986-1989 and this is undisputed.

High SchoolI didn’t grow until my senior year of HS. I played football and basketball. Pretty bang average for a varsity athlete, good enough to be an IM god in college though.

I ran a whip route from the slot, come out of my break as I’m catching the ball, I felt like I hit a brick wall and according to my teammates it looked like i fell in slow motion. i was out before I hit the ground. CSB s/o to our QB my JR yr.GrundleStiltzkin said:
