Spring Break 2k10—The Intramural Hangover It’s been a heck of a week in intramural world. A month into the basketball season, people are still struggling with the online registration. We had more forfeits in basketball and soccer this week than we have had in both leagues combined this season. Any idea how many ejections we had during the entire flag football season? Three! It was fantastic! I was starting to think that we had hit new era in intramurals—an era of self-control and respect. Wonderful…right??? In the Official Spring Break 2k10 Hangover Week, we managed to more than triple that ejection total. In just four days, we had more ejections than we did in September, October and November combined. I’ve got a couple theories to help explain the debauchery: 1. We all had wonderful spring breaks. You got a little tan, the women/men were beautiful, you’ve got great stories that cannot be shared on this website, the sand was white, and you’ll be talking about the trip with all of your friends when you come back for Homecoming in 2030. However, we left our brains/decency in (Daytona/Panama City Beach/Mexico/Fort Lauderdale/on a cruise ship somewhere/back home). 2. Spring break was awful. The water was freezing, it rained every day but one (when you got a second degree sunburn), you got kicked out of your one-star hotel, you got a speeding ticket in Georgia on the way home (just before the flat tire), you drank the water that supposedly went through a special filter in Mexico, you overdrew your checking account, you got a lecture from your parents when you got home, and you had four tests and a paper this week. With so many frustrations built up, you needed an outlet to let loose (intramural officials, opposing teams, players on your own team, etc.). Whatever the explanation, it was a pretty miserable week to be working and playing in intramural-land. With only a few weeks left in the semester, I am pretty confident we’ll be able to rebound and finish the same way that we started. This being said, I need to recognize two Men’s DII teams—The Sirs and Red Magic. They absolutely played the best basketball game that I have seen this season. The teams were evenly matched. We saw good guard play, good defense, and excellent post play. Both teams were highly competitive but respectful of one another and of the officials. In the end, Red Magic narrowly missed a last-second three and The Sirs came out on top, 44-42. It was a great game and a breath of fresh air at the end of a dreadful week in intramurals. Now that we’ve gotten over the SB2k10 Intramural Hangover, we’ve got a lot to look forward to over the next two months. Sigma Chi has made an incredible comeback on KA in the Intramural Sports Cup standings. Every event between the two groups for the rest of the semester should be a battle. It’s playoff time in soccer, basketball playoffs aren’t far off, and Wiffleball and Bunny Hop 5K registration are due by Monday. There’s a lot to be excited about the rest of the semester. Let’s forget about our spring break highs and lows and finish the year strong. Love the blog? Hate it? Anything you’d like to read about? E-Mail me at intramural.sports@wku.edu.

In order to be eligible for an award, one must successfully complete the entire month, and raise a minimum of $50. The MOM (most outstanding mustache) Sure it sounds like an odd name for a mustache award, but you’ll go down in the record books for the feat. Given to the person with the most phenomenal upper-lip hair, winners of this award can reserve their spot in the Hall of Fame of stashes.
The Natural
“A man without a mustache is like a cup of tea without sugar.” Like the English proverb suggests, sometimes a man’s appearance just looks better with a little bit of hair beneath the nose. This award goes to the man whose appearance isn’t complete without his perfect mustache.
The Nice Try Award For those of you whose best hope at wearing a mustache is based on how much milk you drink. Sometimes it’s just not meant to be and a man can’t sprout hair on their lip…this award goes to the one who gives it his best effort anyways. The Iconic Award Think you look like Tom Selleck circa 1990? What about Rollie Fingers in the 1970s? Your mission, if you choose to accept it, will be to grow the mustache that most closely resembles the celebrity of your choice. If you can provide the image you’re shooting for, we can provide you with an award honoring your lip toupee. Fundraising Award This reward is reserved for the individual who’s dedication to the cause led them to raise the most amount of money by April 9th, the day of the event.
