Damaramu returns.

Well College Rugby is not a club sport anymore. Yeah we don't get scholarships(yet) but it is a Varsity sport and it's picking up popularity. It's not a club sport, it is a varsity sport and it is very important to us. Our coach did come up to us after the game though and tell us that he was proud to play with us and that he'd never seen better college rugby played. He said that he'd play alongside anyone of us any day of the week. Then he promised us our national title soon. I can't wait for next year b/c we're going to beat A&M's ass.

So I spent the last week at a camp. I gave up my spring break to spend everyday training for the Rugby Sweet Sixteen. Doing two-a-day practice at a summer camp in Austin Texas in fucking 85 degree weather. Waking up at 7 am everyday to run 3 miles. Learning to be part of a team and getting closer to my teammates. We were ready. We were ready to win a national title. We went to College Station and prepared to play. We get there expecting to watch Texas A&M play New Mexico State and then us play Sam Houston State. What happens? NMS forfeits and Texas A&M gets a bye. They get to sit around and relax while we get ready to play two games in two days. Well we beat the shit out of Sam Houston. Prove how good we are. Now it's time for Texas A&M on Sunday. We took it to them going up early 10-0. Then the ref's true colors came out. He was wearing a "League of Texas Referee's" shirt. And he proved it. He fucking made every bad call against us. If you know something about Rugby then you'll know that this is BS. He let there hooker throw the ball in not straight on Line-Outs. Straight to there jumper. No penalty. They collapsed all of our scrums. No penalty. They were offsides on EVERY FUCKING PLAY. No penatly. Just a "Get back guys" warning. But if we were offsides? Any warning? Nope. *WHISTLE* "OFFSIDES ON OKLAHOMA!" He gives Texas A&M 3 fucking chances to score when they keep committing penalties. We get into a scrum close to their goal line. They kick it into the try zone before it's even fucking out plus the scrum half gives it to them rather than dropping it in straight. He whistles it and says we have to do a scrum again. Bullshit. Our ball. They collapse the scrum. Our ball. Nope. Another scrum. They score. What does he do? Does he lift his hand and say "Try A&M!" Nope. He gets down low and leaps into the air with his fist flying up and screams "SCORE!" Bullshit. And I'm not saying this shit b/c I'm on the team. We were literally dicked over. Everyone saw the bad officiation. Even A&M questioned some of his calls. This guy was out to get us. Oh and then there was the game tying drive that we made. We drove the ball 50 fucking meters to the goal line. About 30 seconds left. We're running continual pick and jams but we can't get it anywhere b/c they're offsides on every play waiting for us. So what happens? We get pushed back a bit. We get into a ruck and start driving the ball. We drive it OVER THE FUCKING TRY LINE FOR THE SCORE. Elvis(one of our big players) FUCKING GOES DOWN AND TRIES THE GOD DAMN BALL FOR THE SCORE. What does the ref say? "BALL IS DEAD. GAME OVER. TEXAS A&M IS VICTORIOUS!" This is fucking bullshit. I wanted to punch that mother fucker out after the game. Not to mention the fact that Texas A&M was giving us cheapshots all game long. One of there guys was punching, elbowing, and kneeing our guys. And the ref was fucking blind to it. Well he purposely steps on our guys face during a ruck. The guy jumps up and gets in his face and he says "All fucking game bitch." So our guy just hauls off and just fucking lays his ass out. Punches him right in the eye leaving a cut from his nose to his cheek. The ref didn't see it. What does he do? Take it like a man and forget about it like we did? No he starts to throw a fit and nearly starts crying begging for a penalty. Well our coach told us a story. If you have followed American Rugby you may know him. His name is John Velie. He was the scrumhalf at Cal Berkley in the 80's when they won a national title. Well he tells us about how they played against 5,000 people at San Diego State one year as defending National Titles. And they just get hammered by bad officiating. The fans go nuts and just taunt them like they're nothing. They get pissed and train as hard as possible the next year. They come back and beat the piss out of SDS and then go on to win the national title from Air Force. I see a parallel there. That's us. I'm going to have a National Championship ring on my finger next season. I can feel it. And I'm going to beat the hell out of some Aggie's on my way up. I don't know why I told you all this. Just thought it was a good sports story of mine to share.

Rando.........nobody is above the title. Anyways.......he had the same mannerisms and what not he just looked like an undead Cowboy. I guess I can live with it if not for the fact that I don't have to hear him scream about respect and his yard for the next year.

I didn't cry.......not even close. But I marked the fuck out. They couldn't have done it more right. Because Benoit FUCKED them both up! When HBK comes in for the sweet chin music and he's like "See ya biatch!" and just dispatches him immediately. Then he bitch slaps HHH when he goes for the pedigree and makes him tap out.......just wonderful. Couldn't have done it a better way. Anyone notice the boo's when HBK was tuning up the band? Benoit was so over.

With the exception of Pittsburgh I think that Oklahoma State has got an easy bracket. Actually all of the Big XII teams have an easy first round. But they only got 4 teams in????

Oklahoma State just got done BITCH SLAPPING Texas. 65-49. So OSU wins the regular season outright and then wins the conference tournament. I dunno......the Big XII may be the only major conference where who was supposed to win in every tourney game actually won. OSU is very good......they may just be a Final Four team if not a National Championship team. And it was just pointed out that the Big XII had TWO teams in the Final Four the past 2 years. Wonder if they can repeat that?

Whoa....Gert T......you only have 4 Big XII teams? I keep hearing that they are getting no less than 5. So who's the 5th? Missouri or Colorado?

I just don't like how Vitale is an East Coast junkie. It's kind of annoying.

God damn that Moloch! He's fucking hard! Anyone have a strategy to beat him?

Oh OU is not getting into this tournament. And even as a hardened OU fanboy I'd have something to say about them getting in. They showed fire in the Big XII tourney this year though........which means they should be pretty good next year. I keep hearing that OSU has no longevity. That next year they won't be worth a damn in the Big XII. Anyone think that's true?

Hmm.......the Big XII tourney has only been shown on local channels. Since ESPN is in love with the East that's all they show. Well OU won something.........the Women's Basketball team won the Big XII tournament. Someone wake me when I care about Women's basketball.

What MK was the helicopter Fatality in!? Was that in 3? I thought he did the Self Destruct and then a bomb or something.......

Well looks like Oklahoma State and Texas are playing in the Big XII tournament finals. Hmm.......they were also the 2 teams that played for the regular season Big XII conference title. I guess the Big XII tourney worked out like it was supposed to and didn't have any upsets. Seemed that everyone that should've won..........won.

Brock play football? Oh come on........football isn't something you can jump to like wrestling and get training for it. You have to actually be a football player and have had a background and experience.

I'd rather OU didn't play at all in the post season than play in the NIT. It just seems.........insulting.

Yeah I managed to do a couple of them on normal mode. But some I kind of had trouble with. Oh well. Oh and by the way......what mode should I be playing on? Can I unlock things in regular tournament mode? Or do I need to play Konquest mode to unlock everything. Sakura since you know so much about MK and things surrounding MK. Why did they choose to go with a K in everything? I mean I know b/c it's Mortal Kombat.......but why Kombat and not Combat?

Why do I like Michigan Jimbo? I dunno........I've just always liked to root for them in football. Funny thing is at OU........there are TONS of Michigan shirts everywhere. For some reason Sooner fans love the Wolverine's to.

Oh sweet baby geezus, how can you live in this region and not know what SXSW is? It's a HUGE music festival in Austin with a shit ton of up and coming bands. I think the White Stripes played it last year. It draws in people from all over the US and from other countries. In other words, Austin is gonna be fucking packed this week, and good luck getting into any of the bars on 6th street in a short amount of time. How can I not know? Like this. *goes into his room and turns off the lights*

Good god. I just played a friend tonight and I swear MK is one of the easiest games to get "cheap" in. Just keep jump kicking and sweeping and such. It gets hard to defend. Anyways I rented DA. I've only played it with a friend thus far. But so far I've noticed it's quite a bit different than the other MK's and the Fatalities seem a little harder to do to me(mainly b/c the FAQ I have doesn't give distances).

Jumpin' on the OSU bandwagon, eh? They aren't rivals or anything to you Sooner fans? They are my rival. But like I said.......I have a simple College Sports rooting list. OU above all else. If the Sooners are not available then root for another state school(OSU or Tulsas). If the state schools are not available then root for Big XII schools. If Big XII schools are not available then root for Michigan. If Michigan is not available......then fuck it and root for whoever you feel like rooting for.

Ah crap......this just wasn't OU's season. They lost Bookout, they lost Brown at the end(though he didn't do much) and they don't really have an overall star that can control the game. Plus they're all so young. But next season......they should be pretty good next season. I predict they'll take the Big XII next season. If not the regular season then the tourney. My friend came up with this......"How is it that our school can come up with the uncanny ability to screw up everything good that happens to us?" I wondered the same.......this just wasn't a good season for OU sports.....we make it to the top of the mountain and then fall. Ah well......what're you gonna do? Funny though. My dad goes "Well OSU is better than OU at everything! HAHA!" prompting me to go "Everything? How many national title have you won in Football? What was that? None! Oh bitch we have 7! How many conference titles have you won? None.....oh we have 38 biatch! How many bowl games have you won? We've won 23! Bite me!" To bad we can't do this shit in basketball though.............

SHIT! Oklahoma just blew there lead and lost by 3 points. God dammit........there season is over now. Ah well......I have my list of who I root for. And according to my list when OU isn't available I root for the other state schools..........*steals dad's OSU hat* GO COWBOYS.

Texas tied it up. Now OU is up by two. Oh my god.........they only have 6 f'n players........and two are within 1 foul of fouling out. Jesus.....

Alright cool......Zack I'll send my segments Sunday night and if you end up not posting it pass them along to whoever b/c I am leaving on the 15th and won't be home until the 21st. Oh and booking wise we'll see what Dama's punishment is for his crime last week.
