Foosball

From the unofficial Duke TIP Wiki

[edit] The Game

Foosball was a popular activity in the common room of Alspaugh. During free periods, many TIPSTERS would form duos and play fierce games. Most of the games involved cussing, loud shouting, and taunting. Despite, all the rivalries created during this hostal event, it was always fun and worth playing.

[edit] The Beasts

However, as good as anyone was or hopes to be, no one will ever be better than Rodrigo and Kevin. This duo could not be stopped by anyone. The few times that they were beat, it was because they got careless. After a loss they would return and win 10 or more games in a row. Many rival duos did their absolute best to beat these monsters, but it was almost always in vain.

Rodrigo was unstoppable at the defensive end, often scoring with the goalie and making incredible saves. He gave his teammate Kevin the security of not having to worry about getting blown out.

Kevin was unstoppable from the offense. He created many moves including "The Kevin" which the opposing defense could hardly ever stop. He was often quoted saying, "I can't be stopped" or "you can't stop me" or "only I can do the Kevin."

They were never beaten in a best of 5 or 7.

[edit] The Missing Balls

In Term II, '06, the foosballs went missing from the Giles common room but were eventually found. People who were bored during Quadfest planning had to play foosball with Lifesavers and eventually the top of a flashlight.
