World Series of Beer Pong 7 - Day 1

Home

 

 

It's a weird thing when you lose your shot in beer pong. Throughout your career you change the way you shoot but there is only one way that feels good and gives you confidence to make cups. When you get lost everything just kind of falls apart. I'm not a big fan of throwing in-between games but I had to do something. Desperate times call for desperate measures. So Hummel and I went in the practice room and played each other and then challenged two guys next to us to simulate a game. It didn't help me out at all as because my shot was completely gone.

Game 2 against Ethnics Anonymous was the exact opposite of a good game. I struggled shooting and they got out to an early lead and never looked back, beating us by 5 cups. They knew who we were from the Last Cup movie and enjoyed the chance to play us.

One of the biggest reasons that keeps me coming back is the founders and staff of the WSoBP. I have known Billy, Duncan and Skinny for over 7 years now and they've been great. They've taken their idea and ran with it and now it's this huge and crazy event.

 

The crowd was ready for some beer pong and even though I was in said crowd, I wasn't really one of them. You see, I don't practice anymore and the CHBPL has been disbanded for several years. There isn't much hope for me here so I was gonna try to have fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Team U.S.A. also knew who we were and also beat us by 5 cups. I'm sure that playing a couple of "famous" beer pong players really made their day, but it really just pissed me off. We fell to 1-2 with a -9 cup differential. We had 3 more games today to help improve our record.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We only won by 1 cup but it was a win nonetheless. I was feeling great it and seemed like Hummel and I would be ok against the competition out here despite being way past our prime. I knew we wouldn't make Day 3, but at least we could stay relevant enough.

Our first game of WSoBP VII was against A-Team and it resulted in a win for Hummel that Shit!. I'm a firm believer in winning Game 1 because it takes the pressure off. Little did I know that it would be downhill from here on out, and not the good kind of downhill.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wish there were some positive things I could say about how we played in the first couple of games on Day 1. It was evident that neither Hummel or I had been practicing but at least he was hitting cups. I was either airballing my shots or coming up way short. There was a time back in college when I was pretty good at beer pong beer pong but it was more obvious than ever now that my best days were behind me and I was a shell of myself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then I ran into my friend Lester from Michigan and remembered why I keep coming out here - it's the people man. I only see them once a year at the WSoBP and we pick up right where we left off. When I decide to stop going it will be people like this that I'll miss the most.

 

We lost by 7 cups in Game 4 against A&W, which was easily our worst game of the entire Day 1 and ended up being our worst loss of WSoBP 7. And we didn't even get any root beer afterwards. It was total bullshit and made me wonder what I was doing out here.
