How come no one will play us? Im just under the impression you guys are scared, I have no real reason to think otherwise. Feel free to comment and give your own reasons, but until I believe otherwise, Im sticking with my previously stated assumption.. GV is exempt from this because we are currently in discussion about when and where this rivalry will be continued... To call out a specific team, CMU... chickens?? Thoughts...?

hahaha... YES STEIN! this post isnt legit unless you make your way on here. I think people are assuming too much with how serious i was being, but i do think its ridiculous that our league is full of teams that dont wanna play each other. we have traveled to play everyone last year, and yet, its not reciprocated. not cool. excuse me for trying to get games scheduled ahead of time, so we can plan ahead. idk about everyone else, but my classes give out a crap ton of hw(my fault for being pre-law) and its not something that i can just drop to drive across state without notice. my 2 cents i guess.

All I have to say is that its demoralizing trying to tell people we are a legit sport. My reasoning is:
1. There first question is what is your teams schedule?
2. Then they proceed to ask for records of teams and I got yea we were about 11 and 4 or something and OSU was 2-1? lol
It shouldn't be that hard to figure this out collectively at least for the schools that have been in it for awhile should have a schedule for games to play the other teams that have been consistent then add in the new teams

i feel like we've had this conversation before... one would think that this is a logical argument, but what do i know... what we need is a presidential figure that makes applies the rules and helps with scheduling.. wait a second, Boomis! aha i kid, but seriously, is it really hard to put a set schedule in place? or at least some semblance of one, other then our current way?

Well I find it demoralizing having to apply for funding a 1.5 months ahead of time if we want to travel somewhere, not getting mileage funded because they think we're going to pocket the money for beer or something weird. Having 40-60 people every dodgeball night, who would all love to travel and just play the game but can't be all that convinced to leave the splendor of chicago without promises of dodgeball and fun. And to end up paying their own way starting at $60/person. Most of our people are content just to play two times a week.
maybe it would be easier to get people to travel if there was a social afterward. If we started developing a tradition of post game socials, like Rugby, maybe it would be easier to help justify the 4-8 hour drive between schools. College kids love free food.
Wanna come to DePaul? give us two weeks to book the Ray and we'll do a social after. No facility cost and we'll feed the team. We're already going to 300% more places than we've gone in the past four, or even ten years. We're already hosting a hat tournament which is a great way to get new recruits experience without scaring them away with super competitive play. And we're probably going to bring back the Chicago Dodgeball Open after the new year, but we want to space it far enough from WIU's shootout. I've laid out our schedule and openings to the best of what we can plan for.
As for Bomis, he sent out an email with a contact list, trying to get people to come together to share information, asking for contacts he might be missing.

dang. that sounds pretty legit. In all the years of me playing dodgeball I don't know if GV has ever really made an attempt to play DePaul outside of nationals... maybe that will change this year.

Want a match? We can work on something, I mean since you wanna call us out out of everyone, lets do it. Tell us when you wanna play, give us about 2 weeks in advance, and we can work on setting something up. Btw, sweeter was just being a good captain, so if you wanna play us and call us out, we'll be ready. Get at sweeter or me and we will be happy to play you. Haha don't get mad if all our guys throw at you first though, you kinda asked for it by calling our team out.

depaul. i love it. i just wanted to get ppl talking and this seemed like the best way. fisher, i will talk to bryan and tell them you guys are ready to play(with 2 weeks notice). i know i opened myself up to being thrown at a lot, but if thats what it takes for ppl to play us, bring it on. i dont fault sweet at all, i know he's just sticking up for the team, i respect that. i just wanna play some games and it's always been a battle playing you guys, and i cant wait for more to come. i have nothing personally against sweet, you fisher or mccarthy( i think those are your captains) and would be more then happy to grab a beer after any game, after you guys get me out of course
