Geez, I haven't played badminton since jr high gym class - 15 yrs ago. blink.gif And even then, I wasn't taht good. Could barely touch the birdie (is that's what's it's called?) w/ the racket and if I did, it didn't travel very far before it hit the ground. It was pretty comical. As bad as I was, it was still pretty fun. Once of the few good times I had in gym class. rolleyes.gif

Well....I could probably get there, but I don't think my mother would agree. laugh.gif She's nervous each weekend when I drive back and forth from college (about 30-40 miles).

Posted by: HOFerAutoCollector Feb 27 2007, 08:32 AM

But its BBQ....and Badminton.

Posted by: tex333 Feb 27 2007, 07:26 PM

Posted by: wrv01 Feb 27 2007, 08:54 PM

Posted by: baseballguy601 Feb 27 2007, 11:01 PM

hmmmmm


where again do you live?

Posted by: dviv17 Mar 3 2007, 08:04 PM

I'll play! I was champion of my P.E. class! I wouldn't mind stealing err I mean looking at some of Steve's cards as well. Too bad this would be a 4 hour plane ride for me. Let me know when you're doing it in Cali!

Matt..

Sales call road trip..!! laugh.gif

Posted by: knuckleballerMC Mar 6 2007, 07:20 AM

Ah, maybe next year I could go. Don't think I'll have transportation. Badminton, ha! If they eliminated the serving part of it, I am solid at the rest. But for some reason I miss the serve half the time. Make it a volleyball tournament and I'm game.

Posted by: baseballguy601 Mar 8 2007, 05:04 AM

steve can buy us flight tickets laugh.gif

Posted by: chopinalex May 14 2007, 01:38 AM

Have Steve Video Tape it.

Posted by: tex333 Jun 3 2007, 02:17 AM

Steve, if this goes down, tape it so we can see it. My Money's on Aaron!

Posted by: dviv17 Jul 1 2007, 09:12 PM

My money would be on Aaron too, but I don't know if he's ok. He hasn't been on in almost 2 months.
