Someone asked me this also....as far as I know this didnt happen, we have no ties to any d2 team, so I dont know why it would happen.

In fact, the first time I realized who 187 was, was when we pitted with them in the finals match on the pro field.

Apologies if there was a miscommunication?

Good luck to 187 in d1.

Lots of preperation off the field. Everyone is in the gym at least every other day, most of us 5 times a week.

We are also headed to CFP this weekend for a scrimmage with Damage. They were kind enough to invite us so we took them up on the offer.

I have a question. Do people (who have barely heard about paintball) ever laugh when you tell them you are a pro paintballer?

Because I know that when people meet me and ask if I play any sports; It has gotten to the point were I just say "no", because after I tell them I play paintball they look at me and say "ok, do you play any real sports?"

I can't even imagine how pro paintballers feel when they tell people that they are professional paintball players

Anyway, I'm excited to see you guys playing pro ball this year and wish you the best of luck.

you guys seem to have lots of young kids on the roster -- what's everybody do in order to pay for paintball, go to school, etc...??!!

Grin24 · 02-21-2011, 05:18 PM

panecrane, when I tell people I play paintball most of the time they tend to know what it is. Most of the time they assume that we are playing in the woods and sometimes I will come across someone who knows about the sup' air fields or sometimes even xball or race-to fields, but I try to explain as best as I can. Pictures or videos always help. Believe it or not I haven't had a single person laugh at me or think it's silly yet. Everyone that I talk to thinks it is really cool and they tend to ask me all sorts of questions about it.

overshot01, I have piece of paper from one of those colleges that says I'm smarter now that it hangs on my wall underneath a piece of glass in a fancy picture frame and I have a full time job thanks to. So that is how I afford to play paintball, when I was still in college I had a part time job and saved every penny I could in order to drive to practice and play on the weekends. I also became very good at eating teammates leftovers to save some cash when it came time to eat

@Panecrane - Matty says it best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNyB2wWbBlA

@Overshot01 - Just like everyone else we sacrifice in other areas of our life to do what we love and what we want to be good at. It's a little easier now with great sponsors like Dye, Draxxus and Insane Paintball.

panecrane · 02-21-2011, 05:32 PM

^^Love that video

And your right grin24. My parents came to my last event. They have always supported me, but they never really got what paintball was all about. Needless to say they were amazed at the fast-paced games and the amount of people/teams that were there.

What I tell people now is come to one of my events and see what I do, or go try paintball for yourself and then let me know what you think.

solidius89 · 02-21-2011, 05:39 PM

What team colors are you guys going to be? (Go for the tactical gear *cough*)

PlumberNick9 · 02-21-2011, 07:34 PM

Huge Left Coast fan of CEP.

Will there be a chance to purchase/borrow/steal CEP jerseys?

smarthomes · 02-22-2011, 07:48 AM

@Billy, because everything came together for us pretty quick this season, we won't have any extra 2011 jerseys. However, Robbie is having some tee shirts and stuff made.

what about tnn? did you not counter coach them also?

JOHNPBDad · 02-22-2011, 08:31 AM

booboo guy seems to be holding a grudge? :/

Question I have is, are you guys planning on having a feeder type system? Much like in the past with D3 feeding into D2, D2 to D1, etc., or just primarily focusing on the Pro team?

JMendez03 · 02-22-2011, 09:11 AM

has bearet ever let any of you guys shoot his luxe? he never lets me.
