Collegiate Nationals Pics.... whoot.....

[PsychoBaller]

One of my teammates just put these online. Most of them are from the 10man games where we (some Rutgers guys) teamed up with Drexel to take on Penn State; best part of the day/most fun.

I'm in the Red/Black Rutgers Jersey - Chris Soriano - sporting the Orange Hat, and my Warped Red SFL Emag.... mad hot warp action pics.

I will post my fave pics here, but the rest can be found at this link - http://www.picturetrails.com/gallery...96&uid=1047777

[PsychoBaller]

super hot warp action.... forgot it doesn't work as well at that angle... lol

edit; woah just noticed my Red Pod all the way in the backround of this pic,... during the 10man game I made 5+ moves to diff. bunkers.... left my tube all the way back there, heh..

[PsychoBaller]

These "spider bunkers" were weird.... you could be hit from either opposing wing if u moved even slightly off-center from it.

Looks like a lot of fun. But believe me i have seen smaller hyperball bunkers then that.

Nice work Baller!

How did you guys do again Penn State? That field looks pretty fun from what I see. I love playing with tiny bukers cause you can get people at angles easy.

I missed the first, Played For Fun, 10man game as I was working on packing up most of my gear since our Tourny games were over. Though I heard we lost the first 10man game; Penn St. had one player left hiding, and popped out at the last minute and lit up 3-4 of our guys just walking around thinking the game was over.

The 2nd Game ended in time running out (stalemate after 10min). Even though we had 6+ guys on the field left, and they had 1-2, if that

Official article WRITTEN BY MY CAPTAIN - Franco - about the 2nd 10man Game-
"game 2 had 7 RU fools and Hawk, Davey and Drew from Drexel vs. Penn. St. Once again I played the left back standup, this time it was Derek "The Future" Treatman and myself holdin down the left side, but the whole squad just played ridiculously good. Hawk ripped up the right tape and occupied madd attention that let Jeff and Chris streak right up the middle and the killing spree began. Hawk, Jeff and Chris opened up on everyone on both tapes. Penn. St. was droppin madd people. Everyone on the left tape either got shot by our boys up front or from Derek and myself ghostin. It got down to crunch time so I bumped Treat to the spider, Hawk took the right 50, Chris and Jeff had the whole center 50, I advanced up the left tape and hopped into the spider wit Treat. I shot down the left tape to get Treat into the Diamond. At this point it was 7 of us on 3 of them. I called out their postions to all our guys and we were gettin set to move. The clock ran out on us and it was a stalemate, but we all know that another minute and they were game ova...."

In any case.... the 10man game was my most fav. part of the weekend.. with a massive crowd watching us (mostly teams that were done for the day, and some other random peeps).

That sux that the clock ran out ,but I guess it didn't matter all that much cause I think everyone knew you guys would have won. Unless one of those last three guys was hella good.

[ezrunner]

We got some too!

We got some pics from the Clemson Team also (Engineered Mayhem).

Yeah the first game was pretty evenly matched; the PSU team for the first 10 man was mostly our varstiy players and the second we swapped a bunch of people out and kept doing that until we ran out of paint (I got in for the thrid game, a stalemate between RU/Drexel and PSU/Johns Hopkins). It was just funny the way that last game ended, and RU back player with no air tries a run through scares the crap out of one of our guys also with no air, then our last guy get him with an autococker that threw the bolt out the back block three times (the ball bearing on the pull pin broke) and still managed to take out the last 4 with it. Other than that I think everyone can agree that was probably the most exciting game of the day (other than finals). Guys were running out of air (they were only filling 3000-3200) and paint, some crazy run throughs and bunkerings (most painful moment of the day: our guy bunker a drexel player in the @$$ and accidentally the nuts in the near 50). I just wish we played our elimination games that well.

[PsychoBaller]

Yah, the air situation did kind of suck. Even though they had the fill station hooked up with fittings to fill 6+ tanks at a time... they could only fill up to about 3000, not even. I was getting 2800ish all day on my 68/4500 Flatline.
Had to fill up every 3ish games or so, as I was running a hopper and 5pods in my Redz 3.2 Dimension pack.

How come it seems that everyone has problems filling 4500 now a days? argg....
