Eli Unpronounceable

Let's just start off with this. Yes, that is a real name. No, I will not tell you how to pronounce it. Learning how to pronounce Eli's name is like being allowed in a Secret Club. Until you prove you deserve the honor of properly pronouncing the name, you will forever be in the dark. Onto the blog.

So it's come to this. Michigan Tech fans are no longer even trying to support their team. Instead they have thrown their support behind talentless defenseman, Eli Vlaisavljevich. Not for his athletic accomplishments (duh) but instead for his academic accomplishments. He's been given the Tech Award for Super Awesome Fun Guy Genius or something, so he was nominated for this stupid award where I believe he can win a year supply of 2x4's, a box of wood glue and an assortment of bathroom fixtures.

Tech fans were absolutely giddy at the prospect of actually winning something, even if it was just a worthless award that came with a 25 lb. bag of potting soil. True to Michigan Tech tradition though, Tech fans are failing at this support. Eli is getting his butt kicked by Colin Greening. Maybe Tech fans really don't care that much about this award after all. It was just a few short years ago when they were stuffing the Hobey ballot for some random goalie. Cam Ellsworth I think his name was. Ultimately it doesn't matter really what his name was as he sucked, but at least Tech fans showed real support for their talentless players instead of just faking the support like they do now.

Finally, what is the deal with this? Are they really that lazy and unwilling to update their crappy site? Don't they want to recruit new members or let everyone know where their next little "competition" is? How will we get recent pictures of them prancing around the field covered in paint specks? I demand the Michigan Tech Paintball Club updates their website.
