break-out: Suddenly and extremely popular or successful.
Per dictionary.com's definition above, this will be a two part segment that ranks the potential breakout candidates both on the court and off. Let's begin with off the court (#1 being top breakout candidate).
5. Skillz
Skillz natural tendency to gravitate toward his lower key, mystery man persona will finally be taking a back seat, without the ability to run or hide in the house environment. I will beat this into everyone's head every chance I get until PCTI4, that his beer bottle holding form is hands down the best drinking form I have ever seen. That alone catapults him into the top 5, and I look forward to people telling me how right I was when they see his form in action.
4. Run BMC
What's a breakout candidate list without BMC? I promise this won't be the last time you will hear this name on this two part segment. B. Mac took a major leap last year on the party scene, giving people a small taste of what in my opinion is one of the more unorthodox, yet effective drinking styles of anyone I know. Between his knowledge of local shit, random fun facts, and an ability to slam more alc stick in a short period of time than anyone on the planet, expect him to be a trendsetter in all facets of PCTI4.
3. Brent Carney
No one enjoys being under fire each offseason more than Big Brent and to his credit, he finds a way every year of making sure he is deserving of it. Whether it was his refusal to shower, lack of eating, or just putting his terrible tolerance on display, expect the Big Man to come out swinging. Laying out by the pool, finger rolling ping pong balls into beer cups, and his new passion for emotional toasts during group dinners will all be put on display, as the switch to the house really works to his advantage.
2. The Actor
The house will be the perfect stage for The Actor, who thrives on "The More, The Merrier." This being his third trip to visit Run BMC since my wedding (1 year ago), TA is now working his way into Scottsdale veteran status, thrusting him into a leadership role. My prediction is that he is not a good beer pong player, so that will work against him, but his passion for being around large quantities of people at once will make for a strong showing. With the new venue and increased space, maybe he will get us all together to watch him do some improv/standup comedy.
1. The Stickman
So many things about the house work in Stick's advantage it's not even funny. He will just be coming down off his wedding high, realizing that once that is over the only thing there is left to do in life is go to work, and think about PCTI. From that point you factor in the other things like the fact that Stick has gone on record many times saying he will take a house party over a bar any day of the week. Above all else, NO ONE puts together a better beer pong game than this guy. Between his dedication to the rules (watch that elbow), soft touch, defense and speed when reacting to a ball rolling around the rim, and crushing of each drink so fast the opposition doesn't have a chance to sick it in his cup to end the game, no one will run this guy off the table. Everyone will be trying to roll with this guy, the question is if he still has it?
