My son is going to FL Poly and he told me that they have a travelling intramurel team and is supposed to play UF's team this year. Told him they are going to get killed. I didn't know schools had travelling intramurel teams. I played in the Engineering school intramurel team while I was there; not bad talent. I heard the unverisity wide intramurel talent was just below college BB talent. I imagine that the Engineering league team would destroy Poly.
I played intramural BB at UF for many years and was an engineering prof and never heard of an engineering school (college) intramural team. Maybe your son is talking about club level competition. Like UF has hockey and fencing teams that compete at the club level. I am guessing that they also have a men's soccer team that does that. For a couple of years I played on an intramural team that was mostly Aerospace and Engineering Sciences undergrad and grad students and faculty. Our greatest victory was beating the top ranked Chris Webber team in the playoffs after going 2-3 in the regular season. It took us some time to gel as a team. Our best player was a grad student from USCe that played for Frank McGuire. I made my best ever defensive play in that game being on the wrong side of a three on one break. I knew these guys from noontime pick-up at Florida gym and feinted breaking left and then dove hard right to intercept the pass and threw it down court for an easy lay-up.
Never heard of it. I know Flag Football has some sort of “national championship” that the overall league/playoff winners at UF can play in. Maybe basketball intramural leagues have a similar setup? Where the overall UF winner plays in a bigger tournament?
Sorry none of ya'll were good enough to be invited to play on our traveling intramural team. It was nothing personal, just no scrubs allowed.
I was cut from the engineering school intramural team. Well actually, I was cut from engineering school first.
I saw Don Gaffney play QB for the Law School intramural FF team. The other team had no chance or choice but to have fun at the game.
I played a pickup game of football with Don Gaffney when I was at UF. He said I had some speed, which made my day.
I have had two Gator BB players come by my office just before they graduated with their engineering degrees. One was Svein The Norwegian Collegian. I taught him at least two classes and we had talked some about basketball when he was a student. My wife knows him from real estate things. The other one was Jacob Kurtz. My department chair brought him to my office just before he graduated. Of course Jacob and I knew that he played for the Gators but my department chair was clueless about that. I knew who he was when he was a walk-on sitting in the last row of my class. The most important thing I might have said to him was that it was a real shame that he didn't see the floor in the Final Four.
