shorTs Student Engagement Brings Back Club Team for Competitive Beer Pong

Coming Fall 2023, the club team for Competitive Beer Pong will be reintroduced at Manhattan College thanks to Student Engagement.

The Beer Pong team will consist of 6 members from each gender and must go through a competitive background check. There will be two rounds of tryouts to qualify for the team in which participants must make 6 shots in a row and must show off one “special move.”

Brew Ski, the founder of the competitive beer pong team at MC, is excited that Student Engagement decided to bring back his club team.

“I’m so excited that Student Engagement has agreed to re-establish the beer pong team,” Ski said. “After being crowned Pong Master two years ago I’m ready to train my underlings to become the best pong masters.”

Two years ago the competitive team was disbanded due to the “Wenis Incident”. The wenis is the excess or loose skin at the end of the elbow. In beer pong rules, the wenis may not pass the table’s edge.

Allegedly, freshman member, Sean Guinness, accused Brew Ski of overreaching his elbow wenis over the table edge, resulting in a table flip. It was a very special table that Ski broke, as the table was covered with signatures and images of vintage beer pong logos. Ski apologized to Guinness and the team but the club became silent for a year.

“I understand that the year hiatus was necessary to restructure our behavior,” Ski said. “The team will only accept individuals with the alpha mindset. I am ready to start this season with new balls and new buddies.”

Sophomore business major Heni Ken is looking forward to his beer pong tryouts and showing off a special move.

“My favorite move is Island,” Ken said. “It’s when a single cup is isolated, not touching any other cups, and the player shouts “Island”. Then if the ball lands in the island cup, another cup can be taken away as a reward. I’m very good at Islands.”

Ken credits his special move to his time at his Miami High School.

“Miami knows how to party, baby,” Ken said. “I’m ready to claim the rookie pong master title this semester. By the end of the year I will become the pong master of the club.”

Ski is not concerned that this rookie business major will take over his empire.

“Whoever this little business major thinks he is, trying to take my place as pong master will soon understand that pong territory is real.” Ski said.

Reily Wine, Director of Student Athletics, is looking forward to the healthy competition between members.

“Teams need some incentive within the walls so that they have motivation to become better,” Wine said. “Students need to push themselves to be the best pong ball thrower there is.

Maybe I’ll even show up to try out and show off my move of the “Invisible Hand of Power” because everyone knows that I control everything that goes on in this school. I know how to pick and choose people.”

To keep up with the MCPong Team follow them as tryouts start April 5th. The Pong Battle will start on April 10th, with the final Pong Power Play match on April 20th.
