Unstoppable Beer Pong Trick Shots
By: nickev | August 31st, 2009 | Category: Videos - WeirdI realize these kids probably took each shot 406 times and then edited the ones they finally made. I also realize it probably took them three years to put this thing together. And I hate how every time they finally make one, they act all cool and calmly pick the cup up and show it to the camera. I also hate how there are like 27 videos out there of people making impressive beer pong shots.
Still, it’s pretty good stuff.
Florida State sets NCAA record with 37 runs on 38 hits; Ohio State could use some pitching
By: Carl H | May 31st, 2009 | Category: SportsTALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Stephen Cardullo set a tournament record with seven hits, including three of Florida State’s NCAA-record 15 doubles, as the Seminoles routed Ohio State 37-6 on Sunday and advanced to the super regionals.
Florida State (45-16) set NCAA postseason records with 37 runs, 38 hits and 66 total bases, while Cardullo tied the school mark for hits in an offensive performance the football team would’ve been proud of. The Seminoles set or tied 18 NCAA, school or postseason records.
The Seminoles did a lot of this today...
“I can honestly say I’ve never seen anything like it,” coach Mike Martin said. “We’re sitting there in the fourth inning and I knew we were going to a super regional.”
Jason Stidham, the regional’s most outstanding player, hit a two-run double as the Seminoles scored eight times in the first and cruised past the pitching-depleted Buckeyes (42-19), who trailed 32-0 in the fifth.
“Everything they did was right,” said Ohio State coach Bob Todd, who went through seven pitchers in an attempt to stem the rout. “Everything we did was wrong.”
The teams combined for a single-game postseason record for hits (51) and tied the mark for runs, which was previously set in Miami, Ohio’s 35-8 victory over Quinnipiac on June 4, 2005.
Ohmed Danesh homered a drove in five runs on four hits, while Mike Meschke was 5 for 5 with a homer and four RBIs. Stidham drove in four runs and led the tournament with 12 RBIs in three games.
Ohio State starter Jared Strayer allowed seven earned runs without recording an out. Andrew Armstrong, the Buckeyes’ fifth pitcher, was tagged for 11 earned runs in one-third of an inning.
“It was a great feeling,” Cardullo said. “It’s definitely true that hitting is contagious.”
Florida State will make its ninth super regional appearance in 11 years against the Norman regional winner.
—————————————————————————————————–
In Ohio State’s first matchup against Georgia on Friday, the Buckeyes lost 24-8. They then eliminated Marist 6-4 and Georgia 13-6 before taking on the Seminoles Sunday afternoon. For those of you that struggle with math, that means Buckeye pitchers allowed 71 runs in four games. I don’t mind watching the College World Series, but the ping ping of the bats is just ridiculous. Why are they allowed to use metal? Makes no sense. This does though:
Kentucky’s Turtle Man, Ernie Brown Jr. giving lessons at Centre College
By: Carl H | May 25th, 2009 | Category: Hilariousness - VideosYou probably “think (he’s) crazy, but you can’t help but like (him)”….
A while back we brought you the self-proclaimed Kentucky’s best kept secret, Ernie Brown Jr. aka The Turtle Man. Well now we proudly present part two of this absolutely AWESOME sharp-beaked reptile hunter. Here is a short clip of The Turtle Man teaching a young chap (Jeff Collett) and the rest of the football team at Centre College the art of turtle hunting.
If you get impatient, fast forward to the 1:00 mark and then witness the unreality of how truly great Mr. Brown Jr. is. Witness the excitement and the adrenaline The Turtle Man receives from ’snapping’ up one of these majestic beasts.
Also observe the astonishing knowledge of wrestling catch phrases and signature moves The Turtle Man possesses. If you ask me, he should be the next WWE superstar……. Look out John Cena, “WHATCHU GONNA DO???”…..
Can Beer Pong Cause Herpes?
By: Dirk | March 5th, 2009 | Category: Videos - WeirdLet me get this strait…This chick wants me not to swap spit with anyone in college, go to class, study, AND not pass my herpes on to fellow beer pongers? All this leading to sobriety?! Worst college ideas, EVER! I may as well have stayed in high school. Let me tell you a little secret, lady: These kids DON’T CARE!
Drunkenness, sharing spit, and trading various (mostly) harmless diseases with co-eds in college made up exactly three of the four reasons I chose to attend college. The fourth reason is because I was on the run from various governmental agencies in my home state, but I digress. If I was so worried about what bacteria and virii (viruses? virusi? thats a toughie…) I was giving to, and getting from the ladies I was ponging, don’t you think I would have wiped my balls off? That’s just ridiculousness.
Another point I want to make, as hot as this doctor is that’s telling kids to stop enjoying their 4-10 years of fun and freedom before joining the work force is, she must have been one nasty broad in college. I picture her, wearing a homemade cardigan, sipping peppermint tea, with NO hint of alcohol, as her then-giant posterior swallows the chair she decides to punish. All this on a Friday night, curled up with her only real friends, John Grisham and Anne Rice. The fact that she’s dropped 300-pounds and doesn’t go in public covered in her cats’ hair from cozy cuddle time, doesn’t mean she can tell me to castrate myself and start doing charity work.
Shame on you, Doctor Petersen. In this age of terrorism and hate, why would you deprive our youth of their last few years of innocence and unprotected pong?
Mascot Mania: Simply Baffling
By: Carl H | January 12th, 2009 | Category: Sports
SAY WHAT????
A couple of days ago (they all run together when you live hammered), I had a ‘Finkle is Einhorn’ moment only I needed not to suction my face with my plunger. I’m just wonderin’ why in the world there aren’t more colleges and universities out there with a monkey as its mascot… I mean monkeys are hilarious!!! You could have Orangutans, Baboons, Gorillas, Chimpanzes, Marmosets, Spider Monkeys, Wooly Monkeys, etc. Imagine the hilarity that would ensue betwix a roaming monkey and the kiddos at every home game!! (Look how beloved the Phoenix Suns’ Gorilla is…)
Anyhow, here’s a small sample of some of the mascots out there:
Anteaters (University of California-Irvine), Antelopes (Grand Canyon University in Phoenix AND University of Nebraska-Kearney), Banana Slugs (University of California-Santa Cruz), Boll Weevils (University of Arkansas-Monticello), Camels (Campbell University in Buies Creek, North Carolina), Cobbers (Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota), Ephs (Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts), Humpback Whales (University of Alaska-Southeast), Kangaroos (Austin College in Sherman, Texas AND University of Missouri-Kansas City), Koalas (Columbia College in South Carolina), Moose (University of Maine-Augusta), Nads (Rhode Island School of Design), Wasps (Emory and Henry College in Emory, Maryland).
Seriously, you tellin’ me out in Santa Cruz they’d rather be sportin’ hoodies w/ Banana Slugs on ‘em than a Baboon?? Come on. And the Nads of Rhode Island? Really? Do they chant “Go Nads!” at every each home game? Boll Weevils? You WANT to be named after a beetle pest who ruins cotton harvests and Mrs. Rudy’s flower gardens? Kangaroos and Koalas? Why not have Crocodile Dundee as your mascot!! Ephs? What the Eph?!?!?! Moose? Shouldn’t they be the UM-A Meese?!!? And Humpback Whales? I’d love to hear their battle cry/chants!!
I Just Don't Get It!!
Monkeys are even fierce beasts, and one of the dominant species in all the jungle. Gorillas’ only enemies are humans, and occasionally leopards, no one else dares mess with them. There’s not an animal out there than can measure up pound-for-pound to the sheer strength of a Silverback Gorilla. Wouldn’t this be a good mascot to have? Hilarious and Powerful? Entertaining and Dangerous?
Then there’s a whole slew of schools out there who don’t even have a nickname or mascot!! Like the University of Sarasota (Florida), Allen College (Waterloo, Iowa), Bastyr University (Seattle, Washington), and Sage College of Albany (New York). Again, the Bastyr Baboons? Sarasota Spider Monkeys?? Sage College of Albany Apes???
Bastyr Baboons???
The only monkey mascot I could stumble upon was the Pittsburg State University Gorillas out of Pittsburg, Kansas. And due to such they are now in my Top Six favorite institutions of learning. If any of yall know of any more schools out there repped by monkeys, please let me know…
RESPECT & RECOGNIZE!!
Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy is a Man, Is Worth $15.7 Million
By: nickev | December 5th, 2008 | Category: Sports - VideosWe are going to talk about this article below. Let me tell you why we are going to talk about it. Mike Gundy is awesome. 100% of the money that he is getting is completely deserving. It embarrasses me he didn’t get this extension as soon as he went off on the media. The university’s athletic department must not have ever had a child who has come home with their heart broken, upset. How are they going to kick a man while he is down? Here is all Mike Gundy did. He was QB at OSU and went to class and graduated. He is respectful to the media and to the public and gets really pissed off when you don’t do the same. He wins football games. Mike Gundy is a good man. If his new contract ever comes home and cries because someone calls him fat..how do you think it is going to make his contract feel? But, you don’t understand cuz you don’t have a $16 million dollar contract for being the man. Someday you will and you’ll understand. The length it took Gundy to get this contract is garbage and the editor of the newspaper who cussed out his player is garbage! Are you kidding me? Where at we at in society today? But, now FINALLY Gundy gets paid for DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT!! OSU came after Gundy…He’s a man…He’s 40!!! What? Somebody told you Gundy didn’t sign extension? THAT AIN’T TRUE!!! THAT’S NOT TRUE!!! SO GET YOUR FACTS STRAIT!!!
Congatulations Coach Gundy and we at straitpinkie.com will never be-downgrade or belittle you or any of your players. We are all adults here. That’s all I got to say. Just makes me wanna puke it took you so long to get paid.

BaRACKETS!!! – November 24th edition
By: Carl H | November 24th, 2008 | Category: SportsMore ludicrosity from the BCS format this week as three of the top 7 squads are from the same DIVISION of the same conference. Texas gets the 3way tie nod, which changes things up a little bit. As you can see with the 8 team format there would still be a lot of griping as teams like USC, Boise St, and Utah wouldn’t get a chance, which is why I’m still in favor of the 12 teamer.
Also this week we have included the FCS (formerly Division I-AA) bracket (I’m sure you are gasping for air right now trying to comprehend how in the world the subdivision of college football has a playoff but they claim it is just too impossible for the big boys to make it happen). Unlike the ig-nant BCS who end their season with polls and computers deciding champions, Division I – Football Championship Subdivision decides their champion like Division II, Division III, and practically every other NCAA team sport does, with a tournament. In December 2006 The I-AA label was replaced with FCS. Major recruits need to start going to App State or ‘Nova just to be a part of a playoff. Then we’ll see how quick the big boys get them a tournament to determine a true champion.

BaRACKETS!!! – November 17th Edition
By: Carl H | November 17th, 2008 | Category: SportsWell, Barack stated his case again last night on 60 minutes, let’s hope he really can ‘throw his weight around’ and get something done here. I mean, I’m a fan of the 12-team setup, but will not utter a word of discontent if somehow we make the 8-team work. Who would when this week you would get Florida – USC and Texas – Penn State…. AND THAT’S JUST THE FIRST ROUND!!!!

By: Carl H | November 15th, 2008 | Category: Pinkie's PicksWe’re rollin’ now, two in a row! Up next I implore you to take the over in the UTEP-SMU game today. The Miners have scored less than 33 just once since Sept. 20th, while the Mustangs are just flat horrible. The Miners may put up 67 themselves. Foxy Locks in the OVER.
Career Record (2-1)
