Field of Dreams = Beer Pong Table?

Coming to college, I was introduced very quickly to the party scene, however, I did not and still do not drink. So while at parties, one must find a way to pass the time and I discovered the game of beer pong. While scowering my favorite site, ESPN.com, I came across this article authored by columnist Rick Reilly, another of my favorites. Needless to say, I was astonished that this simple college game, where champions are made one cup at a time, is starting to become what poker became just a few years ago. How many of you knew there was a World Series of Beer Pong? Not just that, how many knew that the champion of this winner-take-all tourney would capture a grand prize of $50,000? Now, I'm all for new sports to cover as we head into this new generation, but perhaps we're stretching a bit too far with the inception of beer pong. Maybe I'm just in the wrong profession, where some middle-aged guy who can sink ping pong balls into tiny plastic cups can make more than I will in a year coming out of college. Also, it's possible the movie "Dodgeball" wasn't too far off when they created ESPN 8: The Ocho for all that is obscure sports. I guess dreams can come true...one tiny, white ball at a time.
