Back in college during Greek intramural flag football, me and this other guy collided and I had a solid 5-6 gash in my head complete with squirting blood. So one of the fraternity brothers drove me to the ER and when I finally got back, looking like I came out of a horror movie, they said they had to staple the wound shut. They gave me two options, numb the area and then do it or just do it. I asked how many staples, they said 8. I said how many times you gonna poke me for the numbing stuff? they said 20-30. I elected to just take the staples raw. That hurt. As I'm swearing like Gucci when hes had one to many flights of craft beer, I noticed a crucifix to my left and had to apologize to the lord![]()
Man, the stories I have/have heard from playing intramural footbal, especially at UT where the field is AstroTurf.
We were playing my freshman year a few days around the 1998 Arkansas game when it rained a ton. The turf was slick, I caught a ball down the sideline, cut back and slid across the turf. I was wearing shorts and had a huge burn mark down my hip and one on my elbow. I had to sleep on my side for 2 weeks, and my clothes would stick to me if I didn’t have it bandaged.
I had a roommate tear his ACL, and I had another friend break his ankle. Brutal.
