I would let these girls bounce my ball back without stabbing them

Much like college football, home field advantage plays a huge rule in the beer pong universe. Whether it’s knowing the dead spots on the table or being the House Rules author, hosting makes a big difference.

And in terms of home field advantage, LSU is to college football what the University of Montana is to beer pong — after last weekend.

Because right now, a Montana student remains hospitalized after being stabbed for breaking the “bounce back” house rule.

Collan J. Sheppard, 23, has been charged with felony assault with a weapon and is being held on $50,000 bail.

UM sophomore Brenna Gibson ? a member of the household ? said Sheppard became angry with her over a “house rule” ? a rule observed by some who play the game that depends on the household in which the game occurs.

The article (piss poorly) attempts at describing the “bounce back” rule as some official document, making it difficult to figure out how bizarre Montana rules are and why they actually play with a tennis net.

In normal speak, the “Montana Bounce Back Rule” refers to when a bounce shot — which is a rule only tools play by — hits the throwers own side of the table. Again, welcome to Missoula, Montana.

Granted, when the adrenaline is thumping and “Let’s Take It Outside” sounds like a plan, the thought of getting stabbed in the abdomen and the arm, and leaving with a punctured artery isn’t the first think to jump into a drunk mind.

After all, the man was just trying to defend his home turf. That’s dedication.
