Another team bonding activity along the lines of childhood was the surprise Dubble Bubble gum bubble blowing contest. When coach called a surprise meeting, I knew I was not the only one who was a little on the nervous side. However, once a challenge was put before us all, our nerves quickly subsided as we all put our "game faces" on. Even though this contest was new for the freshmen class, collectively we stepped up and advanced two "freshies" to the championship round, where Chrissy Cooper was victorious, although Coach Mac gave everyone a run for their money through her single attempt. Overall, I would say the creativity of our team activities continues to rise and keep us all entertained. This experience definitely made us think since we had to strategize about the number of pieces of Dubble Bubble that would create the ultimate bubble. While some chose several pieces, others chose only one or two. It just comes to show that you should never bite off more than you can chew!

Play-Doh Scout!

When one thinks of his or her childhood, many times a plethora of toys and games come to mind. One popular pastime of our generation was the constructing of Play-Doh creations. Who would have thought that even at the college level playing with Play-Doh could still be so exhilarating. Our coaches had the creative idea that we could lighten up the mood of a pre-game scout with Play-Doh figurines of the opposing players. Our young inventive minds came up with such things as cubes for key players to box-out, miniature cars for important drivers, and bandannas and guns symbolizing those players who get a lot of steals. This enjoyable and still very meaningful activity brought back bittersweet childhood memories that assisted us in remembering the opposition's key personnel. So whether you are a young calf or an old bull, just remember, there is always an opportunity to conjure up the child in you!
