Do any of you or the players go to opera/ballet

Post by Fast Eddie »

I once read that players who go to the opera/ballet actually do better on the field because of the discipline, etc. Does anyone here enjoy opera/ballet?

I enjoy ballet. I even tried to take a class while I was at SMU. I wasn't interested in improving my game but rather to be in a class with slim, flexible women wearing tight outfits.

They wouldn't let me take the course. Something about needing to have had some prior dance experience.

I remember during my days on the Hilltop that some of our more academically challenged athletes were briefly encouraged to take dance classes with their subjective grading to pick up a few grade points. The problem was of course that some of the football players were uncomfortable around some of the other male dance students, and some athletes it turned out were too comfortable with some of the other dance majors of the same gender and the experiment was discontinued.

When at SMU I had to take one elective class, and I took "Folk Dancing" I found out it had 30 females in it and NO men. SOo I was the lone guy! Fabulous!
