The Curse is Broken

Obviously I’m making reference to the 2Q intramural athletic losing streak. After last night’s double header, the 2Qs stand at 1 – 6. I’ll spare the details but some would describe the evening as magical.

The 1Q’s have two teams. The first is really good, the other is really fun. In the first game, the 2Q’s faced off against the good team. That went poorly. I believe the final score was 97 – 3; fortunately it proved to be a good warm-up.

The 2Q’s ran a clinic during the second game against “the other” 1Qs. BC was showing the kids how to post up, Buxie displayed the fine art of shooting, and Haley demonstrated the power of trash talk / elbow throwing.

Haley went for a shot and the world’s largest redhead sent the ball astray.

BigRed: GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!!
Haley: You mother (bleep). Try that again and I’ll sterilize you with my elbow.
BigRed: Huh.
Haley: If you even look at me again I’m going to hurt you.
Me: Haley, be nice.
Haley: Shut the (bleep) up Swanburg. This is between me and this big (bleep)

That was the only blocked shot of the game.

In other sporting news, ESPN 8 (“The Ocho”) will likely be covering the two upcoming Baylor events for their obscure sports quarterly. This Wednesday is Immunity Day 80’s Bowling, followed by Saturday’s softball extravaganza.

If haute couture is more your thing, don’t miss tomorrow’s fashion night. My unconfirmed source tells me that both Thomas and SoTheBearSays will be going to work on the catwalk. I wouldn’t miss this event for the world.

It's kind of funny that the one team y'all beat was the one you thought was going to be the best.

You seem to have forgotten the string of 6 3-point shots that Jason put together in the last 2 minutes of the game.

5:26: Hence the reason I don't play fantasy sports.

Jolie: That's simply one of the details I promised I'd spare. But seriously, he made 18 points in 2 minutes and you still lost.

I think the turning point of the night was the backwards, over-the-head toss you pulled out of nowhere while in double coverage...

That, or when Gregory took Chris out of the game in the first two minutes.

Very true, but you still hold the record for longest losing streak....hopefully that record will stand for awhile.

wow swanburg. you never fail to ruin a funny story by forgetting what actually happened and instead making up stupid replacement shit. after the "giant red head", or tim, stuffed me, he actually said "stay out of my world bitch!" and i said nothing.....i especially didn't (bleep). at least not out loud.

not only that, but we lost the first game like 98-35 or something. god you suck at remembering facts.

and you aren't giving the second team of 1Qs enough credit...they weren't bad at all...we were just warmed up by that 60 point loss.

i expect your next post to be more factually accurate, or to at least include a disclaimer stating that i didn't literally cuss out every member of our team and the opposing team.

Swanburg gives the liberal media a bad name.

Just for clarifications . . . the comment was "Get out of my world!" Nothing else. . .
