History Channel tonight!

[gibby]

Speaking of some sports that originated from war games...soccer for instance...although not made to simulate a war or war type game...it did involve some violence.

Wasn't the first "soccer" type game originate from Mexico where the Aztecs had a similar game of getting a ball through a hole? The losing team usually got their heads chopped off?

I could be getting my hispanic history messed up so don't listen to me if I am...LOL!

[Big_Chops]

finally another station with somthing on paintball. i will be so mad if i fall asleep

[Athius]

The show is called From Tactical to Practical. Is gonna be in 9pm, 8pm central and for me 10pm. Channel 192 in Direct TV.

I have seen it before whenever they talk about anything they give out allot of good information.

[Big_Chops]

sweet i can't wait! hopefully it will be really good. and hopefully they have stuff about speedball

[The Deacon]

Um, on Dish Network, when I get info on it, it says it's about tear gas and non lethal junk, I thought it was "War Games". Did I miss it or is Dish Network just not too bright?

[tdogreb]

I would"nt look for speedball on the history channel guys. Probably be military training scenarios.

[The Deacon]

On the preview last night, I saw a guy in a jersey w/ a ricochet, didn't look very military to me.

Besides it's tactical (military) to PRACTICAL (SPEEDBALL!). The whole point of the show discounts that theory.

[RenagadeOfFunk]

What was that...He took his mask off in the middle of a shoot out...
BUT THERE were some mags..woohoo...

he didnt take his mask off during a shootout, him getting gogged was obviously staged, but yes i saw the mag(s) too, and may i add the guy with the mag (classic valve) was faster than most others on there

[rehme]

yeah...we can take him...


...he was like "yeah look at this cool green 2001 lcd angel ooooooH....and it has some funky wierd nitro tank on it was a slow force feed riochet...ohhhh..."...

...what a noobie

wheres the x-mags?

[barberjohn]

just saw it! not bad, but the guy took his freaking goggles off after he got smacked in the face! btw, i really dont think that team that they were playing against was trying too hard . and wtf is up with that angel he was using, the freaking tank was instead of dropped and down, it was up and back. i didnt know that a 2k cnc angel was "the best gun on the market". oh well, they did better than i expected, and it was pretty neat seeing our sport actually represented pretty well.

[Athius]

God it sucked. They focused more in the stupid airplanes than anythin else in the show.


Everyone email history channel to make a show about the history of paintball right now!!!
