Sometimes I wonder if we have a bowling team that drinks or if we have a drinking team that bowls! I’m sure it is the same in many other adult leagues, but really, when most people think of bowling leagues they think of beer bellies.

One of the things that I like to do as team captain is buy a round of Jaeger bombs for the guys on my team every time we win a match. That’s right, as captain I don’t view my position as one where I have to know how to coach these guys. A Jaeger bomb is a shot which you then drop into a beer glass which is about halfway full of Red Bull energy drink. Then, of course, you chug it. Let’s just say that it seems to do the trick!  And it’s cheap because we rarely win.

Maybe that is part of why we have gotten the reputation of being the “party team.” Or maybe it’s the fact that our team name is “Here for the beer.” Who knows? This one thing is for sure though: our team is full, and I regularly have people ask me if they can be on my team! It’s totally cool being the popular team. Now if we could just win every once in awhile, that’d be even better!
