    Considering I've worn his foot across his throat and heard him say "I'm not not fucking smart" afterwards when told to get out before the cops showed up ... pretty sure I have a good idea of what he was like in college

    How exactly did you wear his foot across his throat?

    Game night? Twister - 2 Dads version?
    He has a little midget buddy that was a punk that my friends and in particularly I didn't like as he would always elbow me in the back playing hoops ... Before an intramural game they were playing and we were clowning the midget friend a bit ... Tank came over and said if he heard me say another word he was going to kick my ass or something like that ... about 5 minutes later I'm talking to my buddy about Kobe or something like that and Tank heard me talking and just immediately came over and put his foot across my throat while about 5 guys (including a couple of football buddies of mine were trying to pull him off me

    When IMA security came by telling him to get out before UWPD showed up he stated "I'm not that smart when people push my buttons I just snap ..."

    Another quality UW player experience I had was with a shitty alley oop pass that was thrown towards Jamaun Willis who jumped up and over me trying to get the ball (I had no idea he was jumping for it because it was that shitty of a pass) ... he was a RS Frosh at the time and claimed I was threatening his career ... at that point Chris Juergens came up behind me, grabbed my arms from behind while Willis punched me in the back of the head ...

    That's a hell of a story Tequila. Chris Juergens pulled up on ya?

    I have a similar story although few years earlier. No IMA security or UW Police around back then. A fraternity bro of mine (navy dude) beat the bloody shit out of Jason Shelley after a hoops game at the IMA. Nobody came to his rescue, we just left. This was prob right before he got booted, early 90s

    Didn't Shelley himself break someone's jaw around that period by suckerpunching them during a game? I seem to recall this as I hit him once square in the face with a baseball pass (wasn't my fault, he jumped in front of it like he was blocking a punt) and I recall taking that into account as I apologized and backpedaled (i.e., was a completely pussy)

    I had a couple run-ins with Leif Johnson during games in that era, too #coolstorybro

    How many people here have been punched by Roger Faagataa?


    I know I'm not the only one.
