Normally, drinking until you pass out or vomit is something only rewarded by your peers, but over the past year the NCAA has sanctioned Beer Pong as its newest sport.
Taking home the National Championship in its inaugural year was the dynamic duo of the Kleenex sports section, sophomores Erik Larsen and Kevin Martin. Although both men are underage, the NCAA made an exception for these two after they were hyped more than LeBron James.
With quite an impressive track record, both Ramblers mastered both the art of throwing a ping pong ball and the skill of getting completely hammer-faced drunk! After many appeals and petitions to let the two compete, the NCAA allowed both Larsen and Martin to combine to form a devastating squad.
During the competition, Larsen and Martin felt the need to compete shirtless and chest-bump one another after pounding each of their beers ... you know, for intimidation.
Loyola's president, the Rev. Michael J. Garanzini P.B&J., talked about the school's newest heroes.
"I wouldn't say I'm proud of Loyola's national association with Beer Pong," Fr. Garanzini said. "But if I were me, I'd probably say something about how important money is."
Many students are still puzzled as to the relevance of that quote.
When asked what it felt like to win an NCAA championship, neither competitor was able to answer coherently. Needless to say, it was one of Loyola's proudest and most embarrassing moments all packed into one fantastic event.
