Midwest Games 2006 at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor was eventful, to say the very least. From a broke-down car, to playing in 5 degree weather with only shirts and shorts, to having no supporters cheering on, to numerous members declining to come for various reason, we did enjoy ourselves and come away with a joint-3rd place. There was supposed to be a game for 3rd/4th placing, but hey, who gives a shit when members of both teams involved in this game would rather go off to Saigon Gardens for dinner. So refusing to play this 3rd/4th placing match, players from Uni of Chicago and Michigan headed off to our lovely Vietnamese restaurnat for a dinner together, away from the other Midwest Games people who were still confined to the gymnasium of some Pioneer High School.
Let's show a pic of our brave troops first, shall we?
Squatting: Brian "Hoarse" Ooi, Challenge Trophy, "Assistant Manager" Jiahui, Helena "Vinnie the Manmarker" Lang Standing: Joel "Reverse leg tackle" Tan, Marcel "FT", Chan "Top scorer" Yikley, Jason "Flying shoe" Teo, Chong "Safehands" Yongchun Not in picture: "Indiana" Alim (somewhere puking)
Of course, there's a story to each nickname -- one thing or another happened during the games or after. Honestly, the picture quality is rather crap, so why did we actually bother thanking the cock who took it for us? How difficult can it be to take a proper still photo? C'mon, even a Chinese High boy who doesnt understand English can still follow instructions.
