If you are really good with cockers, I have one that has an E-1 that needs some work that I will sell for $125.

Hey Norman, I just graduated for Eastern and live in Ashmore. I was wondering when you guys were practicing because I am looking of some tourney players to play against? Also I was wondering if you or anyone else plays at Level X by Villa Grove.

Womp · 02-06-2007, 08:33 PM

You just graduated as in are coming here soon? If so, drop me a line and I'll give you all the information you need. We do play at level x, although when its nice out we have our own facilities. Peace.

NormanPaintballOwner · 02-07-2007, 11:20 AM

The team has never played at Level X but we may have to run a practice there this weekend. Your more than welcome to join in. Do you have facebook, it is how the team communicates for the most part.

firststrike · 02-07-2007, 05:31 PM

No, I just graduated from Eastern but Norman Paintball is just about 3 miles from where I live and I was wondering what tourney teams played there and if anyone still plays at Level X. I should be there this weekend also. Let me know when you guys are going to be at Norman, I'll come check it out. Later.

NormanPaintballOwner · 02-07-2007, 10:05 PM

How in the world do you play at Level X when it is this cold? Everytime I go, and it is below 30, my gun acts like a wagner power painter.

NormanPaintballOwner · 02-07-2007, 10:07 PM

To answer your other questions, players from the EIU Panthers team play and work at Norman Paintball but the we practice at Flying Colors on Thursday nights.

Norman, if its halway decent out this weekend, lets head up to level x, id like to check it out for once, and it will be good to get all the dust off from the winter off!!

DnMFactory · 02-08-2007, 03:27 PM

if you guys could occasionally up that thread i'd appreciate it

paintballordie08 · 02-08-2007, 03:29 PM

hey im considering eiu as one of my collage choices... are you guys an xball team or are you playing nppl?

PnTBm2k · 02-08-2007, 04:52 PM

there really isnt a format - BUT a few of us are xball players and the NCPA class A is played on a xball field

paintballordie08 · 02-08-2007, 04:59 PM

wait so you guys dont play psp chicago? its right there... thats like an hour to two hours away... and nppl indy isnt far either... why dont you guys get some $ together and play em.... if you guys had a def. psp roster like UofI i would be all over eiu...

PnTBm2k · 02-08-2007, 05:18 PM

well for a few of us this is the first time they are playing tourney ball - maybe we will throw a squad in for chicago or indy - but highly unlikely (also eius first season together)

myself and womp both play d2 xball so thats another reason why we may not play a national event

NormanPaintballOwner · 02-08-2007, 05:20 PM

The team just started, we havn't even had time to get established yet. Try going to a school without a team and starting one from scratch, than we will talk about why we do or don't play PSP events. What degree are you seeking? That is the more important question, if it's buisness or education, EIU comes highly recommended.

NormanPaintballOwner · 02-08-2007, 08:28 PM

Some of us will be at Level X this weekend.

so_ill_salukis · 02-08-2007, 09:39 PM

SIU is going to be Drilling at Friendly Fire in Bridgeport this Saturday, if you guys want to come, but otherwise we should get together for a scrimmage sometime.

OWTKAST cpt · 02-08-2007, 10:42 PM

Good too see you guys getting this off the ground..

Norm are you getting an Airball field yet? it gets warmer i'll prolly starting playing outside of my mandatory sundays...

Owell goodluck to all..

PS word is a new indoor may be coming to champaign...

Also, not sure where ya play in the winter.. but Level X is better then not playing at all... and the extra cost of winter paint isnt that bad for you people with choppping problems..

i see that this is the teams first year together, but i know that one if not both of you guys could sand bag and play d3 5man if not xball, it wuold be a great learning experience for your team, and its really pretty cheap

We definately need to get together and scrimmage some time, unfortunately this weekend is bad for most of our players. I think we are just going to go play at Level X just indorder to shake the dust off. I do need to get a hold of rich and make sure they will be open.

I plan on leaving the airball to Tony, I don't want to step on his feet by going and getting an airball field. Plus there is the lack of room, I would have to do some serious demolition or sacrifice a serious portion of my yard and that is just something I am not willing to do.
