Getting a Ticket to the Big Game
The Texas Longhorns host the Ohio State Buckeyes tomorrow evening in arguably the biggest regular season college football game of the year. Unless you are a season ticket holder or have at least $1,000 to spare, you are basically crap out of luck in regard to finding a ticket...or at least that was the case until the newest Pluckers' franchise in Round Rock, TX, intervened. The well-known chicken wing restaurant didn't host a chicken eating contest as most would expect but rather a Rock, Paper, Scissors contest, with the winner receiving two tickets to the Texas-Ohio State game.
Rey Buentello eventually beat out 199 other contestants to win the pair of tickets, but the most amusing aspect of this peculiar event was the training regimen of Michael Ortiz. Yes, training regimen. Apparently Ortiz "trained for three weeks and had bruises across his knuckles to show for it." As karma has it for anyone who attempts to train for such a random sequence of events, Ortiz was matched up against his girlfriend in the second round, and of course he lost.

The bigger issue here is that this guy trained for a rock, paper, scissors contest and somehow still had a girlfriend?!?!?
If I had known about this tournament I would have played and won! Go Horns!
Seriously that is absurd. I can't imagine someone actually doing that. The dude that won had a hell of a lot of luck on his side. That should be a hell of a game. Ohio State 27, Texas 24.
Wow...I have nothing to say.
You have nothing to say because this guy is so ridiculous? Or because you are constantly practicing to become the next R,P,S champ?
This is unfortunate that the game sucked. All that great luck to win it all and for nothing really. Texas is almost done for the year. They will have to go undefeated and get some help from other teams. I don't see them repeating.
