Ode To the IM Participant...
As the Holiday season approaches, and first semester winds down on this school year, intramurals are in full force at UWRF. It is time that those of you who make intramurals work be thanked. Here is an ode to those of you who participate in intramurals.
You might be an intramural participant if…
The last pair of basketball shoes you bought was sometime in the 1990’s.
You don’t remember your best “playing” weight.
You missed class to get to your Intramural Flag Football game, because it was playoffs (See the legendary Usual Suspects).
You think playing Intramural Dodgeball is a better stress reliever than a nap.
You spent your last ten dollars to sign up your broomball team, instead of gas money to go home and see your family.
You use the same Intramural-provided jersey with the number 57 on it for good luck, and don’t mind that this same jersey has not been washed for two weeks.
Striking out in softball caused you to lose more sleep than the “D” you received in Chemistry, mostly because you are embarrassed that you struck out in adult t-ball.
You use time outs to catch your breath, instead of talking strategy with your team (See every intramural team that is comprised of 4th and 5th year seniors).
Intramural Broomball gets you excited for ice fishing.
Winning an Intramural t-shirt is important because it is one less shirt you have to buy.
You consider your Intramural game your “work-out” for the day.
When you wake up in the morning, you check your email, Facebook, and the Intramural standings, and if your team has dropped in the rankings, you immediately say “What the ****.”
As previously stated, if any of these pertain to you, you are the reason IM’s exist at UWRF, so this ode’s for you.
