Football, volleyball, baseball, basketball in high school....
NCAA football for 4 years...
Either KCOM/DMU/CCOM ... but I'm trying to recruit people for wherever I go because I want to dominate intramural sports.
Take care to all and best of luck!

4 years varsity ice hockey and lacrosse, and 2 years of indoor track in high school
ice hockey for 4 years in college
also played some junior hockey and could have played MLRH pro roller hockey this year (the marple gladiators), i made the team but couldn't fit the travel in with my work schedule.
ive also been powerlifting for about 6 years now...going to PCOM this fall
my orthopedic surgeon who i've seen for various injuries over the years is a DO who went to PCOM, and he's been a huge influence on me choosing to go the DO route. Ive also gotten a lot of relief from maniputation, so i'm really excited about the chance to learn OMM.

rockstar,
I played college hockey and I am going to CCOM, there is plenty of men's leagues all around chicago. Check out Johnny's Ice House, Fox Valley Ice Arena, I could go on and on naming great Men's Leagues, but you get my drift- from reading this thread sounds like CCOM will have some kick as$ intramurals.

I know, I know not really the subject but since we've diverged into an argument on figure skating a sport or not I thought I'd through my .02 in.
I've been a figure skater/dancer for the past 21 years, and my bf and I are constantly arguing (in the most fun way possible) about this.
I call it a sport. He doesn't.
When we first started going out (it's been almost 5 yrs now) he said No way, no How. I have since at least gotten him to consider it an incredible "athletic" endeavour, but he'll never call it a true sport anymore than nascar is a true sport in his head.
He does have a point about the subjectivity of figure skating though. The way he sees it, a sport is something that can be quantitatively determined by a clear-cut decision -ie. football/touchdown, baseball/homerun, soccer-hockey/goals.
Anything that is judged so subjectively as figure skating (although we've made excellent strides in that regard -- I so remember all those precision competitions growing up where we'd skate the best but the sponsering team would win anyway!), gymnastics, diving, etc is not a sport to him because they can never be decided without emotions/artistic being involved.
Figure skaters are among the best athletes in the world, and while I do see figure skating as a sport vs say dancing (ballet, jazz, modern, etc), I can also see where he is coming from....
Now back to the actual subject -- I'm a figure skater/dancer and won't be applying til 2005 and haven't decided yet whether I prefer DO or MD. I want to go into orthopedics/sports medicine and work with mostly athletes. In my town the majority of ortho clinics are all MD or at most one DO--only one has an equal number of each, but with my interest in how even subtle changes in a body position change so many things and liking the whole person concept I wonder which will end up being the right choice for me. Any advice out there would be appreciated!

NCAA Div. II Softball Pitcher here!!
Glad to be done though, just a few more games and I never have to listen to a fat bald man yell at me again!!!
Well at least not over something so trivial as letting the number nine batter get a hit! God how stupid of me, how could I let a college hitter get a hit, I mean she is in the nine spot she must suck! (Hope you all catch the sarcasm)
Vanessa
Intramurals here I come!!

Kappapiomega-
Where did you pitch for? I pitched for a d-III school, but we always played d-II teams on spring break. I had to miss my last game ever to take the mcats and miss it so much. It stinks because once you graduate, they don't have fastpitch anywhere (around me at least), only keg-leagues. Good luck with the rest of your season!

I pitch for Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, TN.
We play in the gulf south conference of the south region.
Yeah I am probably going to miss it too, but right now, I am just relieved to be done!
