It’s time to get a little ROWDY!!
Count this among the phrases you won’t hear me shouting at home, no sir, but at basketball games? There’s no room for blushing and bashful there.
I’ve been watching the kids play basketball for a while now. Bear’s the only one in it these days and we’ve reached the “blast rap music during warmups” stage. I kinda like it, to be honest. Not exactly sure what that says about me (though I’m certain my kids would say it definitely doesn’t make me cool).
I’m picky about my basketball rowdy though. Too little and I wonder why you bothered coming; too much and you register more obnoxious than spirited. Clearly I need to be elected the rowdy monitor for home games cuz some of these visiting fans? They gots to go.
Are you screaming at your kid? Oh, nope, my bad. You’re busy screaming instructions at every kid on the team. Friend, that’s not being rowdy, that’s being a coach’s nightmare. You’re definitely my nightmare anyway, so how ’bout you zip it with the “ALESIA, SHOOT FROM THE OUTSIDE, BABY. THE OUTSIDE!! Zee, you’ve gotta pass to the middle. Damn, girl, PASS THE BALL.” I’ll pass the ball alright, I’ll pass the ball right up your –
C’mon, you guys. Time to get a little rowdy.
Linda hosts Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This week’s prompt is “loud.” Find any word that means “loud,” and use it any way you’d like in your post. Enjoy!
I was scorekeeper at Pony’s baseball games which kept me quiet and paying attention to the stats book. The yelling parents were awful. Some even tried to psyche out players on the other team. I hated when adults yelled at the pitcher. Chatter was part of the game but should it be?

Oh my, yes, parents yelling at the opposite team’s players is a BIG no no in my book. I’ve never done it, not once, but I bet you if I ever slipped up and did that kid’s parent would be sitting right in front of me.

I’m not rowdy or loud by nature, but I do remember yelling pretty loud when my son was playing baseball.

They do inspire a fair amount of whooping and hollering…

The only people that should be shouting instructions at the players are the coaches. Not that it stops most parents…

SO frustrating! We’ve told our kids don’t even bother looking at us, just look at your bench and keep it moving.

It’s a fine line between rowdy and obnoxious.

It really is. What I need to know is why that line turns out to be invisible to so many folks.
