Roommate Draft Rankings

I had this tee’d up yesterday but after Dan the Intimidating Man threatened everyone through email to make a post, I decided to hold off just to prevent DIM from thinking he called for some action and someone responded. As there is some questions around why the roommate draft has not be announced and it seems like the BORED is hiding something, I decided to put together a roommate power ranking.

When thinking through this, I thought I could go in 1 of 2 directions. The first would try and be fair and balanced and think of what most participants would want in a roommate. Things like, are they clean, will they be in bed before 11 pm, what book will they be reading, and will I enjoy them. That seemed to boring for me. As everyone (except the rooks) know very well, I love to hoop but I also love alcohol. Should I tone down my drinking (in life) at PCTI? Probably. Will I? El Oh El. So this is my personal roommate draft rankings, which means I am looking for people that will drink a lot of booze, smash some late night eats (don’t get me started on the street meat gyros in Denver), and wake up the next day feeling like hell and trying to piece the night together. Also, some factors: being able to talk hoops 24/7 especially PCTI’s history and future, being able to bring the laughs, being good looking, someone more responsible than me to make sure I’m awake when need be, QP member, being able to keep my attention, etc.

1.       Spotlight – he really hits all the marks. Good looking, a skosh more responsible, intelligent and interesting, QP member, and we always have a good time together. We’ve shared many drunken nights and many hungover mornings together. Fun fact for you, Spot and I are the only 2 guys to go out every night of PCTI that we have participated in. All reasons why he is in a 3 way tied for 1^st.

1.       Beas – Who doesn’t want to room with Beas? He is incredibly good looking, he always has interesting stories of being in nature or having sex or a combination of both, he has his own lingo which I always pick up a phrase or two, and he loves hoops. Easy to rank him first as well.

1.       Abe – Another one tied for first, he and I have shared more drunken nights together than most friends do sober. We go way back, used to be roomies, and are best of friends.

2.       Joe – He is like the point guard for social events, he builds up everyone’s confidence because he laughs at every joke like you landed it perfectly. He is always pushing for bigger and better socially. When he goes out, he goes hard. The cons are he is hit or miss to go out.

3.       TP – What a ranking for a rookie! He has come out of the gate strong. I’ve had the pleasure of getting housed with this guy multiple times and when he says he is down for anything, he ain’t lying. Shotgun this beer – Sure! Want to walk to this random strip club a mile away – Duh! Let’s get weird!

4.       BC – Loves talking all hoops but especially PCTI. A great guy to have an engaging conversation with and makes you think he cares about what you are saying. Gets out and gets loose with his DARK beers. I also think he makes me laugh more than anyone in PCTI.

5.       Ben – A deer friend of mine that makes me LOL. Brings some bomb ass jams (music not preserves). He also will get turnt which I think will only increase this year with his partner in crime TP joining the fold. 2 cons, he is a disgusting human and sheds like a golden retriever in summer.

6.       Wes – Pros – beer connoisseur, world traveler, VFL, and small in stature. Cons: his hair takes forever to do, he usually is upset because he “sucked today”, and when drunk he gets loud.

7.       Bruiser – This dude loves his beers. He can drink a case of macro brews by himself. I worry about his drinking performance coming off of a year off and a child. He may also be wired to get up every two hours.

8.       Scotty – I’ve roomed with Scotty before and have enjoyed it. Another guy that wants to talk hoops all the time. I worry he will be distracted being home and will try and show out to try and be big man on campus. Then again, hosts are usually running all over the place and not in the room during the day which is ideal for my hangover nap.

9.       Rainbow – No idea who this guy is. I don’t even know what race he is. But he can’t be worse than the last two.

10.   Sabin – Constantly trying to convert you to become a Mormon, but doesn’t even get the benefit of multiple wives. OUT. Joseph Smith this, Joseph Smith that. Just kidding, he does not do that, but he also does not drink, so he may as well.

11.   DK – Only perk of this guy is he usually has extra fluids that are crucial for hangovers. Nothing positive otherwise.

There you have it, my rankings for roommates. As I was doing this, I realized that the BORED is probably getting an Airbnb or something and we won’t have roommates (or some won’t). This has been discussed in years past, but never worked out. Honestly, it doesn’t matter who my roommates are as this is the best weekend of the year.

*Side note: Deuce would be a clear 1 if he was involved, but usually gets his own spot to slay his prey*
