Your worst agony of defeat type of moment in athletic competition?
Comments

Sucked relative to a UW Rower is a key distinction. Yes, am relatively new here since last Fall but have been following the halfbrain movement for a while. Just never brought of the gay rowboat thing until some of the recent threads about athletic prowess or lack thereof. I was a 4 year guy, and amongst my crew buddies I am the most dedicated fan of husky football.whlinder said:YellowSnow said:

You're a rower? How about "10 things you never new about rowing"YellowSnow said:Shout out to @HuskyJW for a thread that delivered! Thought it would be fun to have a discussion about our all-time "Agony of Defeat" type moments in athletic competition.
For me: My eight lost to CAL once by a seat (fraction of a second) at a PAC 10 championship. We were down by a boat length or more the majority of the race and would have passed them if we had another 100 meters. This was especially humiliating because we were not a loser program and we hardly ever lost to CAL. Crushing agony of defeat type of moment.89ute said:
Damn, another rower. I'm working on a poast for you guys.
You two fags are knew around here. Gay Rowboat may be gay and all but is still appreciated enough since Washington is like good at it. Like really fucking good. Best program in the cuntry good. And this place is built on the core belief of winning first and everything else second.
I rowed for a year at UW but I sucked. Sucked relative for a UW rower. I guess that makes my most embarrassing moment having to retire from rowing due to injury.
(IIRC BoorsWiin likes to stroke on the erg too)

Thanks for sharing those threads. -
Fat Mexican chick was running back in 7th grade. Tipping at least 2 gorditas (200 lbs). She trucked me and I think only reason she fell was her cleat in my face mask. That's why I voted for Trump.

I charged the mound after getting hit by a pitch.
I lost. -
There's nothing gay about rowing a boat.
So long as you rape and pillage when you get to land. -
Playing 10U baseball in the semi-final round. End up working a walk in the bottom of the 7th and stealing 2nd base. Next hitter hits a single up the middle and I had enough wheels to score, except I somehow missed touching 3rd base, thus making me out. We ending up losing the game in extra-innings.

Yes. Despite being only a few years older than Millennial status, I suck at message board IT- i.e., pics and gifs. Gonna need to reach out to @GrundleStiltzkin for some tutorials.PurpleThrobber said:

Hot Viking chick by the way. For me in life, it's 6 foot tall or above Viking princess looking women or GTFO.

No, row it boat is not really gay; it's tuff ass shit. I was just using @whlinder 's terminology in the sense that Crew is: (a) boring as hell as a spectator sport most of the time, although it once used to draw way bigger crowds of spectators than Husky football when there was nothing else to watch in Seattle; and (b) it is the essential sport for slow, tall, uncoordinated white boys, who suck a sports ball. A lot of you fuckers here were probably way better than me in HS hoops (or other forms of sports ball), but you put me on an erg (rowing machine) in my prime and I could pull 2000 meter times just a few seconds off what dude in the Olympics need to pull.PurpleJ said:There's nothing gay about rowing a boat.

All you needed to say is you're 6'6" and couldn't dunk. We inferred the rest.YellowSnow said:

Never said "couldn't" dunk. Dunk yes; dunk well and in a game over other dudes - hell no.dnc said:

Flag football semifinals and I show up with a massive hangover. Buddy gives me a speed pill (fer the younguns speed was a great pick me up in the 80s if you were to poor to buy coke) to fire me up.
1st series I get a pick 6 and do the Prime Time high stepping the last 10 yds & talk shit to the other team. Get an unsportsmanlike conduct flag.
3rd quarter we run a pick play, but instead of rubbing the DB I crackback his ass. Total decleater. Get a unnecessary roughness flag plus warning from officials that any more bullshit and I'm gone. Didn't help that I let out a big Woo Ric Flair style after the hit.
4th quarter game tied I blitz from QB blindside. Instead of ripping off the flag for the sack, I blast him into the ground. Of course I get another penalty for roughing the QB and ejected. We lose by 1 TD thanks to the 1st down I gave them extending the drive.
After I get tossed I puke my guts out...previous nights tequila shots, beer, and Taco Bell in all its nastiness about 5 ft behind the opponent's bench.
Never asked to play on that team again....team captain said I had anger issues. I guess being tormented and beaten on by 5 older brothers for 10 years makes one a little edgy -

For the record, the pitcher didn't Nolan Ryan me, he was scared. The catcher whooped my ass though. A few infielders got some cheap shots in while I was down. Supposedly there was a brawl, but I had a fat fuck wearing armor punching me, so I didn't see what else went down.TierbsHsotBoobs said:
I was the only one ejected. -

Marichal was fined $1750.

I feel like the furry of George Brett charging the ump and then being restrained is worthy of discussion. Also Charlie Hustle in the 1970 All Star Game.
-
I remember the highlights of Marichal when it happened. Compared to the breathless over coverage of everything today it really wasn't that big of a deal. I kept the SI cover on my wall for awhile.
There were no calls for the death penalty or anything like that.
I put 1750 in the inflation calculator and it comes out to 13 grand today. Amazing -
In HS ball I was given the squeeze bunt sign with the bases loaded and no fucking outs and pulled back for a slug bunt and lined it to short who caught it and doubled the guy at 2nd and then tripled the guy at 3rd. Gayme over.
For some reason I didn't see the field the rest of the week.
But despite my .238 average at the time, there was no fucking way I was bunting with no outs and the bases loaded.
-
Baseball was NOT my sport but out of boredom I tried out for a Pony league team. I was sent up for some BP and the pitcher was this big kid who my brother had recently beat up.
So I went in scared, I'll admit it. Threw me three beautiful curve balls that I bailed on each time as they broke over the plate.
Fuck baseball -
Playing basketball for Boys Club when I'm 11, and we're going against Loyal Heights in our first game.
Half our team doesn't even make it to the game, and we have to get some players from the stands.
I think we're losing something like 50-8, and I got so embarrassed and upset that I walked off the court and out of the gym. When I was talked into coming back in I threw a cussing tantrum.
35 years later I still cringe when I think about it. -
I once went to bed with 2 chicks. One was a really hot model, blonde. Easily a 10. The other one was average, about a 6, also blonde. She liked me but I wanted to fuck the model so I started fingering her. Then a few minutes into it they both get up and leave the room for no apparent reason.
