I am not a marmot

Just got back from the Rhode Island tournament. It was great! Everyone got to stay in dormrooms. We went 0-4 but I had fun. The team we played this afternoon we so annoying! Honestly usually I don't get upset with other teams but I was so PISSED! They were such terds (to say in a nice way). For example: I dribble by my player and she comes running after me with this look on her face like shes on a search and destroy mission. I was like OMG IM GONNA DIE! She caught up with me and pushed me from behind with both hands. The ref told her not to do that (gee that helped). They called us names too. And they had these smiles pasted permanently on their faces. I wanted to know what was so gosh darn funny. Everytime they scored they all jumped up screaming and "ou ouing" like they'd never scored a point in their life. Another example of their annoyingness: I shoot the ball (which may I add I am very self conscious about my shooting...it is a very sensitive subject with me) and I miss. One of the players on the other team says..."that was close...oh wait no it wasn't." At this point I became quite irritated. After the game I was walking to my car and the other team is across the parking lot walking together. I look over to see them waving at me and chuckling. I wave enthusiasicly and yell "HI." One of their most annoying players yells back "HI" and mutters something that I could not hear and frankly I'm glad I didn't. My dad yells across the parking lot as well and I have to tell him to stop. Seriously WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE ARE THEY?! I just wanted a fair game...a fun game...a game that didn't involve evil people. As a wise poet once said "Any team-ith name-ithed the 'Flames' is annoying-ith."
