Every year me and 15 other guys have an annual Pseudo Decathlon and compete in pool, mini golf, bags, darts, bowling, pool, ping pong, croquet, foosball, and air hockey. The weekend of our decathlon was the first time my buddy (the one that got me into HD) and I played each other in HD and so I thought I'd buy and wear my school's shirt to up the trash talk. Best part was he did the same thing, completely unbeknownst to me, and so I sported my Wittenburg shirt while he wore his Wooster threads. He smoked me in HD but I bested him in the decathlon :-)

The worst part is that I could have done a layup and won a trip but the Heat staff was talking me up telling me that the crowd wanted to see the half court shot go in. So being half in the bag, I proceded to chuck them up from half court! My friends are yelling at me the whole time trying to get me to move in!
