Hamster Cheats at Beer Pong Championship

Todd, an unranked hamster out of Ball St. University, drew suspicion when he came out of nowhere on Saturday to reach the final match of the National Collegiate Beer Pong Championship.  Critics became wary of Todd when his aim actually began to improve as he moved into the 4th and 5th rounds of the double elimination tournament.

“No hamster of that size can do what he did without some sort of funny business,” said a fellow competitor.  Competition organizers eventually suspended Todd after finding that he’d be filling his cups with apple juice the entire time.
