~ANT grinds out the last Poo Championship of the year

As the playas arrived on the scene you could feel the excitement. Sphincters were coiled up ready to explode for good reason. Not only is this last Poo Championship of the year, our blog site got a redibility level of Jr High, and recently PooTrophy announced the fixing of the whole PooTrophy blog site. Our site took some ex-lax and got rid of all the bad poo. Now we can continue to evolve, grow, and hopefully nothing will splash our... sphincters.

And now to the game!

This was not a smashing success of a game for ~ANT, this was a grind. The scoreboard doesn't show it, but sChag made crucial shots at weird moments that left both Clutch and ~ANT guessing as to the approach of the game. There was no rhythm and that's what happens sometimes... a grind.

~ANT said after the game, "I was talking to myself the whole game. Take the focus off the mechanics because for me they were there today. I would tell myself [during the game]... yeah I'm gonna make this. I know it. I'm gonna win today. Even when I was down 2-3-0, I just kept telling myself I was gonna win."

Man he talks a lot!

After hearing ~ANT's comments Clutch started glumly then ended with resolution, "He told me to try that a while ago. I did it for a while when we first started the trophy... but... he's frickin' crazy. Talking to himself during the game... whatever! Next game is a new year and the trophy will be mine."

When sChag was asked for a comment after the game he simply stated, "I'm winning next time." With that comment sChag bolted the scene.

Good game... grinding game... New champ!

PooTrophy - I'm out!

Proud of our "Readibility Level"

Oh yeah?? OH YEAH!?!? That's right Mother "Bleepers". Come one, come all... if you can't get the smeared with poo, lightning fast court we playin' on... than you can stick it up your "bleeping, bleep"!

This is easy and if you don't get it, then you ain't playin for the POO CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY!

See you on the court "BLEEP"HOLES!

PooTrophy - I can't help but be PROUD!

How have other blogs done?

Snow, Rain, then Sun - Clutch gets it DONE!

The championship was started with a greeting of snow. Due to the soaking nature of the weather it was interesting to see how quickly the gloves came off the competitors... it didn't take long. Once you couldn't feel your hands anymore you know you were good to play.

By game 3 the snow had made way for rain. Pouring rain... at least for a little bit. It could have been the weather conditions because ~ANT and sChag were talking major smack. PooTrophy finds it interesting that neither of them came close to Clutch. In fact, by the end of the game he was quiet letting the other two beat each other up while he cruised into 8th Championship in a row.

Everybody got wet, but The Clutch had the sun shining on him today!

PooTrophy - I'm out!

No Tricks or Treats, No Winner Today

Due to a server switch the Poo Championship Trophy was broken for quite a while. We are back and everything is fixed!

There wasn't a lot of time on HALLOWEEN for the hotly contested Poo Trophy Championship. The kids were starting to walk up and down the sidewalks in their costumes with basketballs flying all around. I didn't see anyone dressed as poo or a likeness of our trophy... :(

PooTrophy calls it a tie... Try again some other day boys!

PooTrophy - I'm out!

Clutch in 7th Heaven

PooTrophy is feeling a bit cantankerous today with a couple reasons for complaint. Not to take away from the record 'The Clutch' has attained because that seventh win in a row can put you into 7th Heaven, but 'The Clutch' lamented after the game, "I don't think I'm gonna win the next one". Truth be told.... from what PooTrophy has seen, he just might win the next one, the one after that, and the one after that!

My complaints can start with ~ANT. He was the reason the game extended into 2 days, with a day in between. ~ANT was behind 2-2-1 when he halted the Championship due to improper preparations to play for the Trophy. He didn't eat enough food. sChag was 'on fire' and probably would have won the game with Clutch shooting well.

When you come to play for the Poo Trophy Championship, you come prepared to play... and sChag does every time! This win was stolen from him.

PooTrophy's last complaint is with all the players. ~ANT started the strategy of playing conservatively in the finals. As the PooTrophy I understand the desire to sign your name on me and take me home. I kick major butt! Who wouldn't want to win me? Nevertheless, soon it was seen that this conservative strategy of taking short shots worked in the finals. Clutch and sChag soon joined ~ANT in the conservative approach in the finals to win the Poo Trophy.

Grow some balls kids! Every frickin' one of ya!! Put your butts on the line, make hard shots, and make me proud as your Championship Poo Trophy!!!

PooTrophy - I'm Out!!

Clutch builds a mansion, sChag and ~ANT provide the bricks

It's the biggest house on block and envy of everyone. The front of the mansion has six jaw dropping, three story columns standing like California Redwoods... as if anyone needed a reminder of the dominance, the dynasty that Clutch has built. Around back is the just completed pool shaped like a Porcelain God that begs for anyone to jump in try and take his trophy. Clutch has worked hard to get here and deserves the benefits of a Poo Trophy Champion!

That's right.... Clutch has owned the Poo Trophy! If you want the Poo Championship Trophy you're going to have to go through "The Clutch". The stats speak for themselves. 14 wins, 7 more than the closest competitor. Mention overall wins and Clutch extends his lead to 10. Pure Domination. The Clutch Dynasty.

~ANT and sChag put up a valiant effort on a hot and steamy September day. ~ANT took 3 wins in this contest and sChag pulled down 1 win. Both shot respectably and ~ANT had a chance to take home the Poo Trophy when the score showed a 3 to 3 tie. Playing sChag in the finals. ~ANT was unable to hit "the sewer shot", a short shot multiple players use to keep each other honest. The effort was there for ~ANT and sChag but it wasn't meant to be.

Determination, domination, "The Clutch" Dynasty. He didn't just build a house, Clutch built a MANSION! Wanna swim in his pool?

PooTrophy....... OUT!

Suspension 2 Redemption 4 Clutch

After a month and a half layoff due to suspension "The Clutch" poo'ed an INCREDIBLE fifth championship in a row. Folks... PooTrophy recognizes this massive feat. No one has done this and no one will probably repeat his domination. Clutch is the only player with two, four in-a-row wins, and now the only player with a five in-a-row win. Simply, he has put himself squarely on top of history, the benchmark of the Poo Trophy Championship.

And yet... the suspension. "The Clutch" violated Section 8-101-A of the series rule book (actions detrimental to Poo Championship Trophy). Clearly defined in the rulebook the actions Clutch fell afoul of are only to be discussed by him. In otherwords... if you want to know what he did... ask HIM!

PooTrophy did. His response to the suspension was of tired jubilation "I am just happy to get this behind me and move on. I am really thankful to my fans for sticking behind me. FIVE in a ROOOOOW!!" his five fingers spread, wide grin, happily hugging the trophy.

Still, I pressed further asking what the suspension was about and he smiled kindly "I told you I would come back. Poo Trophy Champion 5 times. That's what the fans want, that's what they get".

Well... you ask The Clutch. Leave a post. PooTrophy didn't get anywhere. So......

PooTrophy, OUT!

Clutch Squeezed Cheeks - the stench of a 2 X 4!

Clutch is the First Poo Trophy Champion to have two runs of four wins in a row! The domination shows in the Poo Trophy Records. "The Clutch" has a commanding 5 Trophy win lead including the lead in overall wins.

Clutch has been dominant as of late which deserves huge props. PooTrophy would also like to give a shout out to sChag. PooTrophy is involved with a project called "And Then Some" which is all about not just making the effort, but giving that extra effort. sChag has been definition of "And Then Some"! He doesn't win a lot, but when it's time to play for the Championsh*t he is there, ready, talkin' trash... working for a win. It takes a big man to come back and play each and every time, laughing and smiling, despite the records. Thanks for the "And Then Some" inspiration sChag!!

sChag is ready, Clutch wants 5, and ANT looks to have found his shot... the next Poo Championsh*t Trophy is gonna be good!

PooTrophy - I'm out!

Three Courts - One Big Poo

sChag, ~ANT, and The Clutch all had home court. Each had a chance to shine and grease up a nice poo. Clutch laughed as he machine gun poo'ed all competition down. The shots blasted holes deep that splashed and stained the water a stifling, putrid brown. For Clutch, it was nothing a little toilet paper couldn't wipe off!!!

Clutch Splashes Into His 10th POO

Clutch has reached a milestone winning his 10th Poo Championsh*t Trophy. He is the first to 10 wins reaching this milestone through domination. All splash and no water hittin' the arse! Now, that's good poo!

The images show... same rules, but a new court is being established. ~ANT has no home court and this was our first attempt at making one. A desk, a warped 2 x 4, some OSB, and a 5 gallon bucket all tied to a tree so we could play in the street despite the windy, 93 degree conditions. The new home court is a work in progress..... with Clutch flingin' poo at all playa's... adjustments will be made.

PooTrophy is encouraged by the new sChag bravada. He is leaving posts, talkin' smack... and starting to back it up. sChag was in the finals all but once and proved again that he is a contender no matter the records. ~ANT... he shouldn't have even shown up.

PooTrophy congratulates "The Clutch", the first to 10 Poo Trophy wins! The splash and no water hitting the arse!

Clutch Survives His Constipation

Midway through the Poo Championsh*t it looked to be borefest. Then "The Clutch" clogged. Until then, he was serving Drano and the competition was gassin'. Let's give you some stats so you can see for yourself how the Clutch's Poo Championsh*t run of 4-3-1 only pushes peanut butter through carpet.

Clutch was winning 3-1-1 and constipation befalled him. ANT was only in the finals 3 times and even then, should consider himself lucky because he simply sucked today. Soon a 3-3-1 tie between ANT and Clutch, with only one game away from the Championsh*t, brought a needed intensity. Time to Poo!

sChag... the best pure shooter of all of us... Square the shoulders and click the heels... the poly sings! He was in more finals more and shot better than ANT by far but the record doesn't show it. sChag had game.

In the finals for the Poo Championsh*t it came down to sChag and Clutch. sChag wins and we play another game. Both were on the letter "S". Clutch produced a barrage of shots that sChag said he was "just trying to keep up with". We are talking Clutch going 9 of 10 and sChag after an early "H" only slipped on poo for the last 2 shots. It was intense.

I'm glad I was there... PooTrophy - I'm flushing!

Nobody wins, but everyone has a good POO!

The Championsh*t was moving along with a 2-2 tie between sChag and Clutch with ANT dragging a$$ with only 1 win. PooTrophy thinks that sChag had this win. Clutch was proving a mighty foe, but ANT was making enough shots to keep Clutch wallowing knee deep in stinky, sticky cheese.

Then... disaster struck! Or was it? PooTrophy thinks not. Out of a bad situation produced a good, satisfying poo (yes, the corn you had last night). Up until this point ANT had asked for permission from Tom, Clutch's Dad, and Jesse, sChag's Grandpa to work with Clutch and sChag to create the trophy. Other than permission from Clutch's Dad, Tom - ANT hadn't spoken to him much.

Tonight ANT had the opportunity to talk with Tom about what had transpired. The result: A better understanding of what happened and a clear path of where to go if something like this should happen again. Specifically from ~ANT: I want to thank Tom for the opportunity to make it all make sense. No "Hershey Squirts".... simple honesty, respect, and trust. Good stuff!

It should be said because they deserve all of our respect!!!:..... Without Tom, Sheryl, Jesse, Deb, and Ann playing for this trophy could have never happened. As long as we play by the rules we can play FOREVER!! Forever rules!... because it's not possible.

Thank you-PooTrophy, I'm out!

Clutch and sChag get a case of "THE BURNS"

ANT grows sideburns for intimidation. Did it work? ANT came home with the trophy and is now on a run. In a lazy, unfocused game ANT stayed out in front just far enough to never be concerned about losing the trophy. With his 2nd win in a row he is working on a short, but good run. Check out the Championsh*t Records... 8 to 7 to 1.... a comeback is happening!

~ANT Banks on Poo Trophy

Bam - Swoosh! Bam - Swoosh! Clutch brought his girl, but it didn't help. Bam - Swoosh! Bam - Swoosh! sChag wanted the Poo Trophy, but Bam - Swoosh, Bam - Swoosh, Bam - Swoosh!! Without remorse ANT went to the bank to score his 6th Poo Championsh*t.

sChag put up a Herculean effort resorting to easy, short shots to win the trophy. ANT missed quite a few easy shots giving sChag his opportunity for the Poo Trophy. Then, Bam - Swoosh! ANT has used this strategy many times for a Trophy win and it has worked. You can't admonish sChag for working the same strategy. Then... Bam - Swoosh!

Like a great machine gun style poo.... bam, bam, bam, bam... water splashing on the...! Not all are on target, but enough are made to leave the faces of those left behind covered in the stench of old flatus and septic tank style feces.

ANT Banks on Poo Trophy and wins! I'm out - PooTrophy -

Clutch Squeezes Out Multi-Wipe Win

It was messy. PooTrophy would liken it to pushing crunchy peanut butter through carpet with toilet paper. Just ain't gonna get it all out! Any which way you put it "The Clutch" brought home the Poo Championsh*t Trophy.

sChag and ANT had game today, but it wasn't enough. When we three sat down on our individual thrones ANT was giving swirly's to the competition. Quickly ANT's 2-0-0 run was flushed. sChag and Clutch fought back to tie everything at 2-2-2. Winning the Poo Trophy wouldn't be that easy... there would be some constipation.

sChag trailed 3-3-2 behind ANT and Clutch. ANT could only watch and hope sChag would perservere over "The Clutch" as they were in the finals for the last game. With the last shot the rock wouldn't fall for sChag and Clutch squeezed out a shot that's a staple of his diet on this court. The Poo Championsh*t was over.

Nature knew. Time was up and the rains came. We shot the images just in time, but nature said it was over. It was as if the Poo Championsh*t Trophy was meant to go to "The Clutch".

Skunked! ~ANT sniffs out competitors weaknesses

In Poo Championsh*t Trophy history there has only been one skunk... the Inaugural event. Since then the matches have been mostly close with an overtime win by "The Clutch". Today was a weird disaster on many levels. Albeit ANT put some "stank" on it propelling him to a 3-0-0 win, but there was something missing.
Could it have been the break that was taken because ANT needed to talk to a customer? Could it have been the fun factor has changed because the three of the competitors - Clutch, sChag, and ANT have become so serious about the trophy? Could it be a new court must be found?
PooTrophy interviewed ANT after the win and he tried to answer those questions. We asked if the break made a difference in the overall outcome ANT's responded simply, "I didn't see much of a difference. I started hitting more, sChag was playing his usual, and Clutch wasn't hitting all day. We followed a similar pattern after the break".
PooTrophy then asked about the fun factor. Specifically, "Has the competition become so fierce that getting to the trophy win isn't worth the journey?"
ANT emphatically answered "No, it's always worth it." He continued more calmly "Whatever the journey, however I win a trophy, it's always crazy. It's never the same. The fun factor... I'm having fun, but I also think we need a spark. A change of venues would help a bit"
"So a change in location might help spark a new fire?" PooTrophy asks.
ANT replied, "It would help. It would give us all something new to try, but it won't fix everything. We will always be serious, but we need to get serious about having some fun too. Add some music, bring back the trash talking... that would help too".
PooTrophy was surprised by the response and begged the question "Trash Talking?"
"Yes." ANT replied with a sigh of a laugh. "Today there were complaints about my bank shots, but I only heard it under their breath. Trash talk... say it out loud. I'm game... it's fun and that is what we built this trophy for. During the game... say what you want. Before and after... respect. We need more trash... and maybe a new venue. I'll see what I can do."
So a SKUNK it is. However we got there ~ANT takes the trophy home.

Clutch promises Poo Trophy home to Mom

"The Clutch" promised to bring the trophy home to Mom. He better hope we don't play before Mother's Day because ~ANT is promising his Mom the trophy! No stalling... we shall play for the trophy for the right to show our Mom's on Mother's Day.

Clutch was on fire today. The end result showed no effort, no will-power, no positive thinking was going to stop "The Clutch". The final tally was 4-2-1 with ~ANT showing second, and sChag pulling in his usual 1 game wonders obliterating both Clutch and ~ANT.

Clutch kept his promise by bringing home the trophy to Mom. Happy Mother's Day. Happy Mother's to all of our Mothers and the Mothers out there!

~ANT wins the Trophy back!!

~ANT wins the trophy back and stops the winning streak of The Clutch to four in a row! sChag played spoiler late in the rounds with a shooting surge, but was unable to defeat ~ANT on his way to the Championsh_t. The last heated round ended with a bank shot made by ~ANT from a mere 16 feet away. Unlike his name The Clutch unusually missed.

The rounds tallied out to 4-3-0 with ~ANT taking the Poo Trophy home, The Clutch in second, and sChag.
