Title: RBI in Northern Colorado
Post by: Suckerpunch on 01/30/08, 01:32:15 PM
I just got back into RBI recently and found this board.   It would be great to find people to play in Northern Colorado or specifically the Fort Collins area.  I've never played online but may look into it.  I have a couple of people that I play now but would love to find more in the area.  Thanks!

Did some skater kids every steal your bike? If so, you might want to take it up with Bonny/Ace...also, if you ever had a "personal" encounter with Bradlee Van Pelt, please share...

Late 80's/early 90's CSU campus was free mountain bike heaven.

Is the Hunt Club still open?

I did have a bike stolen and yes the CSU campus had a huge problem with bike theives.  No encounters with BVP though, but I did enjoy his football skills and don't understand why the Broncos cut him or played him behind Plummer.  I did run into Brady Smith(last I heard playing DE for the NO Saints) and spilled a monster beer on him.  All 6'4" and 300 and some pounds of him then tried to start a fight with me(5'5" and 140) but fortunately my fellow rugby players were there to back me up, and the bar threw all of us ruggers out to prevent a brawl between the rugby team and football players.  We were already on probation so it was probably a good thing.  I also had my towel stolen by Earl Bruce while showering in the local health club.  He did get me a new one and apologized and then we talked about the Buckeyes for a while as I was born and raised in Columbus.
The Hunt club is still open but the Debbie Does Donut shop was closed down.

One of my old HS friends took Earl Bruce's daughter's ass cherry.

This is very important...

Who do you support in the Tri-Nations...All Blacks, Springboks, or those fag Wallabies?

Or are you waiting for the Pumas to turn it into a Quad-Nations before throwing your support around?

Also, who are you pulling for in the Stanford 20/20 (assuming you're in Fort Collins)

I will have to go with New Zealand because the Haka is just too damn intimadating. 
It's kinda weird driving around town and seeing cricket billboards all over the place and, we even have a cable station showing games every night.  Some guy is wasting an ass ton of money!  I believe he is only advertising in Fort Collins as some sort of test market?

Basically, it's kinda admirable what he's doing, Allen Stanford, spending a TON of his own money because his favorite team growing up has run into hard times (West Indies).

Anyway, go USVI!!!

To answer the original question, I am in Longmont.  The next closest poster that I am aware of is in the Dakotas.

BOOYAH!!! Colorado State Alum!!!  Welcome aboard.  I hope to make it to a game sometime soon.

I am a big CSU fan, started with the 1999-2000 football and basketball teams and made a large leap with Bradlee Van Pelt and Cecil Sapp.

When I make it out for a Rams football game in the next couple years, I'll be a Colorado RBI'er for a few days.

And i guess one more thing about the Stanford 20/20, don't judge cricket based on the first round of matches (which have been awful), wait until the quarters come when the quality will get better, and than try to watch the India/Australia match tomorrow at 3:30 AM for the best quality of limited overs cricket in history.

CSU football was a lot of fun to watch but lately it has been pretty disappointing and I believe Sonny Lubick just retired.  Still, Fort Collins is a fun town to visit and Money magazine recently voted us the #1 city to live in.   We would surely welcome another RBI'er as they appear to be pretty scarce.

You are right about the quality of the Cricket matches.  A buddy of mine from England who plays on the local team here said the early matches have been poor and they should start getting much better.

I play at the Longmont Table Tennis Club in the St. Vrain Memorial building.

I played a league basketball game at the Memorial Building just last night.  We got killed (we're now 0-4, weee!), and my buddy blew out his knee on that stupid blue interlocking Fisher-Price floor.  Why can't they just put wood floors in these places?

I used to think I was hot stuff in table tennis, then I went to a club gathering and got owned by a preteen.  Pretty much ended my ping pong days.

I hear Longmont now has more mexicans than Mexico.

I can see how those floors would suck for basketball but they work pretty well for table tennis.  I do wish that the lights were a little more consistent and I am a little bitter that the jump roping club gets priority over us.
I'm not in that club picture but that guy with the tucked in shirt is from Germany, and is a little odd, but he is probably one of the best players in the club.

Have any of you guys ever ordered a cart from www.nesreproductions.com ?
I was thinking about buying the RBI Arcade roster cart and maybe one of the Tecmo Super Bowl hacks.

I used NES Reproductions to burn a 2004 mod to a cartridge. Play it all the time. Definately trustworthy. Too bad they're Canadian though

90s pop-punk band, Suckerpunch (http://www.answers.com/topic/suckerpunch-1996-album-by-suckerpunch?cat=entertainment) - thought maybe that's where you username came from.  Bought said CD a long time ago, sounds like 90s pop punk...

Close.  It is from the 90's.  It's a song from The Refreshments off one of the greatest albums of all-time Fizzy, Fuzzy, Big and Buzzy.  http://www.answers.com/Refreshments?cat=entertainment
