Mike Koivuneimi, a pro bowler recently missed a perfect game, leaving one last pin standing on his final set. You can see the video here.
Not that I care much about professional bowling (insert the “is bowling a sport?” argument here), but after seeing it, I couldn’t help but think of this gem:

Let’s talk about how good the basketball team is. With a 13 and 4 record, I’ve been lucky enough to watch their two most recent victories, the most recent, a one-point win over RIT. Junior Chris Cruz is dirty from the three point line, Eli Maravich (nephew of late Hall-of-Famer Pistol Pete) is obtrusive with the full court press, Tom Brown, one of two seniors on the team crashes the board like none other, and Athletic Trainers are ever-so-supportive on the bench. That means you Lil Mama.
2010 Bombers
Did I mention the atmosphere?
The fans are what going to a game at the Ben Light Gymnasium is all about. When I arrived at the game against RIT on Tuesday, the team was down by a lot. At halftime they were over twenty points behind. While the team was in the locker room receiving what I could only assume is verbal assault, the fans were warming up their cheering muscles and flipping through their insult dictionaries.
Long story short, the fans were talking trash against the scumbags of RIT, yelling our… their asses off for the Bombers, and the team responded. They came back, and got four points ahead of RIT with only seconds left. The Tigers scored a three at the buzzer. Ithaca prevailed; 81-80.
The team only has three more home games left this season. One of which is tomorrow – Friday the 22nd. The two after that are in February. You can bet your ass I’m driving up to RIT on the 31st to see the Bombers face the face-slapping untucked-slobs of the Tigers.

The Ithaca College Men’s Cross Country Team had a record crowd yesterday, as tickets were made available for the Annual Cortaca Jug game. The distribution of the tickets took place between 4pm and 10pm in the Hill Center Lobby. As many eager students waited in line to obtain their pass to inebriated fanship, the members of the cross country team performed their daily core and flexibility exercises in front of the gymnasium. The last time students saw the team run was when some girl was doing the walk of shame from the Circles as the Alumni Run, which loops around the rape trail – er Flora Brown Drive – and the trails behind Terraces, took off.
Senior cross country runner Scott Walker claims that “he’s never seen so many people,” to watch cross country practice, no less.
Fed Jimenez was among those in line as the team was preparing for their Tuesday long-run: “I was by uh, Conservatory Circle, in line for my ticket, and I saw all these mufqers in short shorts and tank tops doing push-ups, sit-ups, leg swings. Pssh, I didn’t care about seeing that. I just wanted my ticket. Chump!”
Ticket distribution continues today outside the Ben Light Gymnasium from 4 til 10. The cross-country team will be performing drills from 4:00 til 4:15 in front of the Hill Center. In case of rain, catch them doing their exercises inside the gym.
