Team History:

Blah, from South Bend, IN, is pleased to make its second trip to Nationals in as many years sporting the largest roster in UPA history (43 members).

Blah is incessantly asked, “How do you deal with such a large roster?” The answer is quite simple. Following Captain Brad Weirich’s algorithm for team success, we have the following:
• Those with long hair play every odd point, except when the combined score adds up to 7, 11 or 21.
• Those with Camaro Mullets play when anyone under the age of 36 is tired.
• Nick “the Jesus” Felicelli plays each time sideline water turns to wine; QB plays anytime the water is turned to beer; Dave “Hoffass” Hoffman plays whenever the water is turned to beer and then to Milwaukee’s Best.
• Blah members with six consonants in their last name play exclusively in the second half
• Members who really like fruit punch drink boxes play in the first.
• Offensive and defensive squads are chosen based on posture.
• Male and female team members with a Household Income (HHI) greater than 50K can play the first three points.
• Male and female members with a HHI less than 50K may play points 4 through 7 pending private investments (bonds, mutual funds, etc.)*
• Five team members cannot play because their favorite color is blue.

*May play the 8th point if there is a significant drop in short-term interest rates issued by the Federal Reserve.
