March Jam of the Month

Yea, Yea, Yea man this is ya boi Steve Moveyafeet and I'm about to hit you up with the March JAM OF THE MONTH. I'm talkin that playback track of the last four weeks son! That track you put in, listen to, then throw it in reverse and do it all over again. That Rinse, Wash and Repeat song, feel me??

We had some very tough competitors, but in the end I had to narrow it down to two extremely tight songs. Challenger A) My Chick Bad by Ludacris featuring Nicki Minaj.

Challenger B) Over- Drake

And by a unanimous vote (me, myself, and I) the winner is Over by Drake! Take a listen

Wouldn't It Be Nice

Gosh, so right now the UConn women have beaten their last four oppponents by an average of 47 points. HOLY CRAP!

I mean, I knew we were dirty...but we beat an elite eight team by 40 points lol! It was pretty funny, everyone in the dining hall is just calmly watching the game, I hear whispers of conversations like "Wouldn't it be so much fun to just shiz on EVERYONE?".

I had to catch myself because as I walk in and look at the score I was saying to myself this is a close game when we were up by 20 haha! It's just that no one is ever in our league and it's really refreshing to know that at least one of our basketball teams is playing out of their minds.

Yea son

Ahh rugburn, how I've missed you so. Nothing like that searing pain that you give me in the shower for days after you arrive.

Yeah, I got some mega turf burn while playing intramural soccer on Monday. But it was worth it! With our last game, the Iron Curtain improves to 3-0 on the season and moves into first place in our group!

We played the "Morgan Freemans", who were the only other undefeated team, in the pouring rain. It definitely affected everyone's touch on the ball though. The first goal of the game was a direct result of that, with one of our defenders losing control of the ball and then in his haste to get back, slipping and leaving it a one on one situation that their player put by our keeper.

We always start so slow, but it was looking like it might be tough to come back. Thankfully, about 5 minutes later, I made a run off of a throw in, took the ball to the box and slotted it by the keeper to tie things up. Then 2 minutes later, I took the ball down the wing, low crossed it to the feet of our center midfielder Eddy who put that away as well. 2-1.

Goals by myself, Pat, and one by Jimmy made it a much more wide open contest, finally bringing the final score to 5-1. Dibs!

Shiz Son

Dude we just got knocked out of the NIT! 65-63 by Virginia Tech nooo....

Now, if you saw the game, you might just be thinking to yourself that Gavin Edwards is a grimy, good-for-nothing, flea-bitten, lazy-eyed, no-skilled, mayor of jokeville, slim-shady wanna-be, two-timin', trashy choke artist.

Or you might say to yourself, no sir, Gavin Edwards is, in fact, quite clearly a man of no taste, flimsy arms, pea-brains, rancid body odor, chat-roulette-creeper-status punkass-betch.

Well I understand your anger at him. He did indeed miss what many might deem to be a wide open lay-up with 3 seconds to play after Kemba Walker worked hard to give him the open shot, down 64-63. However, I just want to make one thing clear.

I'm sorry. The UConn loss is actually the fault of me, Jimmy, and Pat.

See, we were walking down the steps leading away from Hilltop Suites (where we will be living next year) on Saturday, and who do we see but Gavin Edwards. The thought to jump him and save UConn from seeing him suck it up on the court occurred to us at the time, but we didn't actually carry it out. So, in an effort to make it up to UConn basketball fans worldwide, my boyz and I just wanted to apologize. Next time we see him, there shall be a brawl of epic proportions, and by epic proportions I'm not talking about Gavin's forehead.

Tales of the Iron Curtain

The Mantle shall be raised up again!

Of course, I am speaking about the Iron Curtain, our intramural spring 6 vs 6 soccer team up at UConn. This time around we have some new faces, besides the original crew (Pat, Jim, Jimmy, and yours truly) we have the Albanian Maniac Eddy who is our lock-down center midfielder and coming out of the 'Bury a solid right wing back named Dave.

Our first game was Sunday at the Shenkman Center. We showed up as a team pretty nervous, we bumped up to the "A" division which many regard as the toughest league since good teams usually drop down from Open. We checked out our competition as we walked in...they were a big team. Picture this. 6 of the most typical frat kids you can imagine, most likely seniors, all tan and big in retro NBA jerseys. None of the colors matched the actual teams colors, like baby blue laker jerseys, etc.

I started sizing their team up...ok, well it was likely that most of them had little soccer experience, but if they were soccer players in high school their size could give us fits. I decided to start our team with a two defender, three midfielder approach so we could really shove it down their throats, and I sat the bench to start. The Iron Curtain looked great the first 5 minutes, attacking on all cylinders and really putting a lot of pressure on these guys, clearly only one or two of them had any soccer experience.

I got in the lineup, and after another 10 minutes of scoreless play with countless opportunities for us, they countered and scored a lucky goal off the post. Frustrated, we fought hard to score, and finally found the back of the net when I picked up a defensive miscue and buried it. 1-1.

With one minute to go before half, the ball popped out to Jimmy who turned on the jets for a one on one with the keeper, giving us a nice 2-1 cushion at the break. We regrouped, talked strategy, and then came out and played possessed to put a beating into these guys 9-2 for a final score. Jimmy led the scoring on the day with five goals, Pat had two, Jim had one, and I finished with one. It was a great effort for our first game and gave us some good confidence to carry into the season. The frat guys were good sports about it and didn't get pissed off.

Bout to do mad work this season, we're gonna be scary good!

Quick Hits Part 2

Dude, so I was right on a couple of upsets. Definitely called #13 Murray State over #4 Vanderbilt, got the Cornell pick locked down (they looked illy), and I was hella pissed that San Diego State lost by 3 to Tennessee or else I would have looked like a boss. That Houston pick was way off, but hey that's why we gamble on it haha.

My bracket at this point is completely shaken up, the only way I can win money now is if God is like, "yo lemme hook my boi Steve "Move Your Feet" Brown up right quick, feel me?" So it's whatevs.

Here's to it becoming even more chaotic with upsets for the rest of the way on!

The Hangover

Everybody's been there. You wake up after an epic night of partying feeling like Kimbo Slice just laid you out like a silver platter, and all you can think about is why did I have so much to drink last night?

Well, I had one of those mornings this past Saturday, and decided to write a little about this new theory I've been concocting.

Regarding the Road to Recovery for Hangovers, there are a couple of levels that you have to pass.

First Level: The Sitting Up Stage
Explanation: It may or may not be well known, but standing/sitting up too quickly after drinking can result in high levels of puke-age. I'm usually wicked dehydrated at this point so I'm not tryna throw up some valuable liquids. Usually I grab a water bottle or Powerade and try to get some hydration goin on.
Status: 5% recovered

Second Level: The Jump Down, Walk Around Stage
Explanation: For those of us who suffer from sleeping on the top bunk bed, the last thing you want to do is propel yourself off the bed and jolt your whole body. I'm all about getting on my sloth grind and doing as little physical activity until I'm back to 100%.
Status: 20% recovered

Third Level: The Sacred Shower Stage
Nothing is more soothing than the feel of running water cleaning away various odors and grime that may have collected over the night. This is perhaps the most important stage, as it also signals the start of a new day, a threshold of sorts lol. Usually it should last about twice as long as a normal shower.
Status: 75% recovered

Fourth and Final Level: The Breakfast Club Stage
Here's the part where you get some life back into you. Go to breakfast, grab some fruit to get those nutrients back, talk about what happened last night with the Bro-bots, and shoot the breeze. With this and the Shower you should be back in business in no time.
Status: 100% recovered

There ya go, I recommend drinking water before you go to sleep to nullify all of this!! Now, if only I could follow my own advice...
