Hi everyone,

Well it’s taken me way too long to write this. Frankly it’s because I couldn’t admit to myself that it was over. Writing a post that “summarises” uni games means that it’s over.

Anyway, as I’m sure you’re all aware, we did well. Very well. The results for Volleyball are:

• Men Team 1 (Ligers) - Gold
• Men Team 2 (Tions) - 4th
• Women Team 1 (Lightning) - Gold
• Women Team 2 (Thunder) - Silver
• Men Beach Pairs - Gold
• Women Beach Pairs - Gold, 4th, 7th, 12th
• Mixed Beach 4s - Bronze

So I’m very very proud of you kids!

In other news, we’ll be having plenty of catch-up drinks to remember things like Macca’s g-string, Tino’s pole-dancing, Jonesy’s coathanger, Shanas’ testicles, and the Invincibles. The first one is on this Saturday night (6th of October) at the Normanby.

So if you’re like me and have been shedding a tear every time you hear a Timbaland song or getting strange looks when you tell someone they’re funny money, then you’ll be hanging out for it.

Hi all,

You might have heard that we’re changing the themes for Uni Games a bit. We’re not going against the official themes for each night, but we’re twisting them a bit to make them more interesting. Have a look and start buying stuff.

Round 2 was held at the QUT Volleyball AFL day last weekend - much fun was had by all and so on…

But the important part was this (big thanks to Rags for the video):

So the score stands at Shanas 2 : Jizzle 0

Looks like there’s some catching up to do Jiz!!

So you may have heard about the man-off between Shanas and Jizzle (Dave and Luke), but just in case you haven’t, I’ll give you as much information as I know:

From now until Uni Games, Shanas and Jizzle will be competing against each other in a series of testosterone-fuelled contests. They can be as simple or as complex as they decide, but the overriding premise is that the better man wins.

The first of these challenges was performed on the 12th of September before going out. It was a basic challenge - who could drink a beer the fastest. Here are the results:

So the running score is Shanas 1 : Jizzle 0

Also, make sure you put your vote in with the poll on the right!

Hey all,

This Saturday, the QUT Women’s Water Polo team are having a fundraiser.  Details are below (cut and pasted from an email):

Like Shanas said just recently, it’d be great if we could all support the other teams.  We’re all in the same boat when it comes to paying for these trips, and more importantly, they’ll do the same for us if we do!

Hi all,

Well the two tournaments we’re running are coming up fast.

The first, on March 25th will see the First VI teams from the AIC and GPS school competitions go head to head at Gregory Terrace.  QUT Volleyball will need bodies at the venue to man the canteen, referee, and generally run the show.  It seems that most of the invited schools are aching to meet each other on the court, so this should be a big tournament.

The second tournament is on the following weekend, on March 31st.  QUT will be expected to put some teams in, so we’ll need even more people to play.  We’ve got a few extra volunteers, and a few extra players, but the more help we can get the better. Due to a late cancellation, the venue for this tournament has been changed to Marist College Ashgrove.  There are three courts available there, which should mean extra games for all teams.

QUT (through Package) is arranging some inaugrual trophies so we can make this an annual event and bring a bit of prestige to it.

See you all there!
