Last weekend me and one of my roommates were sitting around watching some ESPN on Friday night. It was a pretty quiet Friday. Neither of us had anything planned but we were getting tired of the NBA game that was being shown. And that's when we came up with an idea that will inevitably alter all future boring Friday nights.
A couple years ago I made a couple posts on Tigerboard, PM'd a couple posters, shelled out a couple bucks and did a few things at tigerboyZ69's house in Blue Springs that I'm not exactly proud of and was able to obtain a copy of the legendary Christian Moody Game from three years ago.
And we decided to invent the Christian Moody Game Drinking Game. Now I realize that looking back this game might not seem nearly as magical as it did at the time considering we only won two games the rest of that season. But this game will always hold a special place in my heart. It was at the beginning of my second semester of my freshman year and we had all just gotten back to our dorm after Christmas Break. We had all finally gotten to know each other pretty well and the awkwardness of making an entirely new group of friends was pretty much over. Coincidentally, it also happened to be the first day in over two weeks that I wasn't feeling like complete shit because I had been battling a horrible wisdom tooth infection that I was convinced would be the death of me.
It was also the first MU-kU sporting event I had ever been to. And while the Tigers had suffered some embarrassing non-conference losses that season (Sam Houston St. anyone?) they seemed to be coming around. They were 2-1 in the Big 12 with big wins over the Oklahoma schools and their only loss was a last-second heartbreaker to Colorado. It seemed like if we could get a big victory over kU then that could propel us to a strong finish in the Big 12. At the time, this game sure as hell meant something. And I was gonna be damned if I lost my first Border War game I ever went to.
And to be honest, the fact that our season went so horribly wrong after this game almost makes it more fun to have a drinking game for because the unintentional comedy is off the charts.
Feel free to edit the rules as you please (and please send us your own ideas to improve the game) but here's what we've come up with. There are 12 rules (not counting the last two) for the 12 victories that the Tigers had that season.
1. Take two drinks every time the Brandon-Kareem Rush connection is mentioned.
2. Take two drinks every time Thomas Gardner hits a three-pointer.
3. Take two drinks every time Quin Snyder runs his hand through his hair.
4. Take two drinks every time Marshall Brown shoots a baseline jumper.
5. Take two drinks every time Glen Dandridge shoots a three-pointer.
6. Take two drinks every time Jimmy McKinney shoots a fade-away.
7. Take two drinks every time Jason "Showtime" Horton does an unnecessary dribble move.
8. Take two drinks every time Thomas Gardner turns the ball over.
9. Take two drinks every time that blonde-haired Mizzou student with the baseball cap and Jason Conley jersey is shown. Watch this game and you'll know the guy I'm talking about.
10. Take three drinks every time Christian Moody misses a free throw.
11. Take four drinks every time Christian Moody's dad is shown sitting behind the kansas bench (don't worry, you'll know who it is when you see him).
12. Take five drinks every time Fran Fraschilla refers to Leo Lyons as "Leo Criswell."
FINISH YOUR DRINK every time Fran Fraschilla says "Ron, I took my headsets off and I don't remember ever being in a louder building in TWENTY-FIVE years."
FINISH YOUR DRINK every time the Mizzou student section storms the floor.
And there you have what might be my greatest contribution to society.
