I’m likely behind the times on this video. Yet, as someone who always hovered around mediocre in my ability to throw a ping pong ball into a cup, this is unbelievably impressive.
What surprised me even more, however, was looking into it and discovering that this video has made Sports Illustrated online and and a few other news stories. Then, I learned that these fellas are all from Olivet Nazarene University, in Bourbonnais, IL. I live about 4 blocks from there. Olivet is very much a dry campus. So that explains it…

This has to be faked. It’s really entertaining, but it has to be faked. Is it really on Sports Illustrated? I looked, but no luck finding it.
I was thinking the same thing, though if it is faked, the editing job is phenomenal.
The Sports Illustrated link is here, about halfway down the page:

Also, here’s the student newspaper story on it. I cannot tell from reading it if it is a joke: http://thesilverthorn.com/news.html?news/n34_ONU_beer_pong_team_0116web.html
Just to note: The SilverThorn isn’t Olivet’s school paper–the GlimmerGlass is. The SilverThorn is our “Onion” of sorts.
Ah, very good. That makes a little more sense.
Thanks for the heads up Jessica. 🙂
I do not respect a beer pong team that does not drink beer…you might see talent, but I see another addition to my “Why I hate Olivet” list.
Haha. Care to share any other items on that list?
