It was just on ABC. Pretty cool. Entire football team is deaf including cheerleaders.

haha...on a serious note, i played against a school for the deaf in high school basketball...it was the craziest thing ever! The whistle would blow and all the kids kept playing...they would grab the ball out of your hand or you would stop and they would run into you....was not fun. Was kind of funny actually.

Did the saem thing in high school, twice...good experience having to deal with it, kids werent' half bad either...it's just awkward having an almost completely quiet gym, was like practice instead of a game.
kids were nice enough though, competitive as hell but good sports.

Viking ive seen your team play in highschool you guys should have played the blind basketball team instead.....:lolBIG:


I heard about the deaf school on local channel.. when they started to do good other teams would hire sign language interpreters to steal their signals... What is this world coming too when you got to steal from deaf peeps...

Played a deaf school here in Cincy several times a year when i was in HS. St. Rita was the name of the school. They had a great big bass drum along court side. They would bang the F*** out the drum when the whistle blew. Some of the guys heard it, or felt it and stopped play. But mostly they just kept on fouling the shit out of us. :icon_conf Always left there with a win...and a headache.
