Title: OT: Apparently we have a squeakball team
Post by: Robb on November 27, 2004, 09:15:27 PM
I saw an ad for Cornell/Somebody (Canisius, perhaps?) squeakball to be broadcast on NESN (DirecTV 623) this Wednesday, in case anyone's interested.  I couldn't get NESN's website to tell me anything - that's next month, so why should they show it on their calendar yet?   ::screwy::

Edit: I think it's actually Quinnipiac, which would make more sense for NESN.

OK, I'll bite.  What's Squeakball?  Googling yields mostly Petsmart pages.  :-)

basketball...you know, the squeeking of the shoes and the throwing of a ball through a hoop.  I was confused at first too...but it makes sense and it made me chuckle!

We're going to miss Barnes this year.

A.k.a. "Cagers."

"Bouncyball" is also an acceptable diminishing of basketball. :-D

Or "roundball." That's insufficiently specific, if you ask me, but no one ever asks me.

Who turn pro and become pugilists.
