I've personally seen teams of elephants playing with much larger soccer balls.

I never knew that they could invent a sport less entertaining than baseball.

My god people, at least SHUFFLEBOARD is more fun to watch!

Actually Exploding Bacon builds in a barn next to the sheriffs dept horse stable. We asked what we could do to thank them for giving us the space and they asked for the trackballs when we were done.......because the horses like to play with them. Who knew!

That looks like a total blast. Our trackball might have to "visit" a local stable. I know a few Paso Finos that would love to play soccer. I might be a great opportunity to get sponsorships. We all know that horse owners have money right? ;-)

At Callahans, we sell horse balls with handles on them. Horses get bored and like to play with them by picking them up and throwing them. (They'll do that with tires as well.) If they are in a stall, they'll pick up the ball and bang it against the wall.

Also, I'm hearing about a full size field in that barn, Wendy. :)
Hope build is going well for you guys.

aren't those balls much smaller than what we are using this year? We usually tie them to a rafter and let them play tether ball. It's hilarious.

Huh. I wonder if FIRST's GDC found this fact in the wee hours of the morning trying to come up with a game piece.:)
Love everybodie's hyperlinks to sites.
