Schwartzman for New Yorker App

Now this is how you advertise.

Poor Robbie

How the mighty (prospects) have fallen. He couldn't make it in Edmonton over their terrible few years and now he's a floater for the Islanders. But to be mistaken for a Flame player on the front page of the SP Sports section, just above an article written by the Sports Editor... Wow.

Needless to say, Robbie Schremp is the Islander in the photo, not Stefan Meyer. Meyer plays for the Flames and scored a goal in the game, WHICH THE ARTICLE ALONGSIDE THE PHOTO EVEN MENTIONS.

Anyway, game sucked and arena was half full. Thankfully the tix were free, thanks Jay.

Beer Pong Olympics 2010

The recap is a little late, but never forgotten.

~110 drinks and a Rider clusterfbomb later, the dominant 2-time champion team reincarnated as "They're Coming" with new member Dean alongside Alex pulled off a thrilling comeback in the final to take it over arch rivals "The Inlaw Outlaws" of Brent/John. To go along with their brilliant undefeated play, we saw some of the worst beer pong playing I have ever seen which might result in time limits being instituted next year. Clearly some people's varsity days are well behind them (no offense Mel).

And "Buff Naked" stunningly went winless. "Inlaw Outlaws" beat "Ginger-Vitis" in the semis, shortly before Ian hurled like a true Scotsman. "OMG Ponies" and "Moulette" were valiantly average managing 1 and 2 victories respectively. How anyone lost to "Moulette" is still a mystery to me.

This year's MVP goes to newcomer Deaner, who was voted also "Most Clutch" by European Teen Vogue Magazine in mail in vote.

Pants were being caught on the ground all over the place as the famous "the ball is under the table, can you grab it for me?" trick was pulled to cup a famous bounce shot FTW by "They're Coming" over "Moulette". Thanks Jen ;) Though embarrassment caught up later on as "They're Coming" nearly gave up what looked to be a first-time shutout against "Buff Naked" (I think) by getting caught goaltending twice and nearly losing.

I really don't remember much else.
