What is something called Spikeball and is there a team representing TAMU somewhere?
Peace for Ukraine!

You do understand most college students are no longer millennials? Millenials are now in their mid twenties to mid thirties.Quote:
Milleneals. Meh.

We're talking generation z or zillenials at this point.

This game was on TV in the restaurant where I had lunch Sunday. Did not even know the name of the game until they went to commercial break: Spikeball College Championships. Georgia vs. Texas A&M. On ESPN2.
For the love of the world.
It was embarrassing to watch and embarrassing to think an established network like ESPN2 would commit good airtime to it. If this is where we are, consider running a no-huddle replay of Harvard-Yale or something. Anything.
I understand there are made-up games and pastimes and such. Good for down at the lake or whatever. I will play the occasional game of washers, but I don't expect ESPN cameras to be on hand.
Airing of Spikeball is a gateway drug to mainlining Canadian Football League games. ... Just 73 more days ...

Maybe it's just that there are 1000 Neals at the tournament, and he is NOT a fan of the name.

That is actually how ESPN got popular. They were the only ones playing college lacrosse, college rowing, all of these alternative sports (especially in the 70's and 80's) that people loved to tune in to see what wacky thing they were playing. Then they got NASCAR, and it changed the game for them.
Would love to watch footage of you playing it.DevilD77 said:
