	School's back in session, so the kids are back at it again!!! Already won the 2005 Winter Co-Rec Title, so check 'em out in the Men's & Women's 5-on-5 Championship Games WHAT'S NEW WITH THE CA$H MONEY FAMILY? THE LEGACY LIVES ON You have to start this one off by giving BIG UPS to Stick and Superstar for keeping the family thriving for at least one more year and bringing home the Co-Rec Championship title one more year. Cash Money is back at it and still doing the damn thing. I heard some good things about the new wave of Cash Money ballers coming up too, so keep the legacy alive and record in tact and pass it on to the next generation. THE END OF AN ERA? Well finally the answer and explanation you've all been waiting for... In mid February myself, Trevor Clarke, and Rob Brockenberry were suspended from the University of Connecticut Recreation Facilities. This was due to the fact that Rob and I are not full-time students here at the University. I had been working at the university as an employee and was under the impression that like being a full-time student, this awarded you a gym membership. I personally entered the gym every single day for the first month and a half of the semester using my university ID and no employee ever alerted me that my card wasn't working. So mid February Bhavin Parvek calls and alerts me that Rob and I aren't full-time students and have been sneaking into the gym to participate in intramurals and as a result we would be suspended for a year. And for those of you who don't know who Bhavin is, he's the Middle Eastern fellow who runs the intramural program here at UConn. Soon there after I went down to the field house to talk to Bhavin about the situation and he explained to me that there had been a similar situation like this with Rob last semester and as a result he and I, as the captain, had to be punished. When I apologized and told him I didn't know and we both wanted to buy gym memberships he said we were already suspended and wouldn't be allowed to even enter the recreational facility and that that rule is clearly laid out in the recreation handbook which they have at the front door. So as captain, I had signed the captain's form to participate and thus stated that I understood all the rules in the handbook, yeah no one reads it but now you know why they have you sign the captain's form. I tried to explain to him that I didn't know UConn employees didn't have the same gym priveledges as UConn students and that I had not "snuck into" the gym even once this semester, but he would have none of it and kept mentioning that I had "snuck in". I tried to go to Pattie Bostic (she runs the department) but she backed up Bhavin and rightfully so. In all, the situation was half my fault and half the fault of every employee at the field house who let me in without saying a damn thing from early January til mid February. If they had we could have purchased memberships and still played, and if I had read the handbook I would have known the rules. What really sucks though, was not being able to beat up on Randy's Boys and go away to the NIRSA and ACIC regionals and nationals which had become common place for the Cash Money Family. But as I get ready to go away to the Navy and turn over control of Cash Money to Nick "The Stick" Corkery and Rob "Up, Up, & Away" Brockenberry, I find satisfaction in knowing this: We still beat Randy's Boys without our 2 best players Our girls still kicked ass in the Spring 5-on-5's and 3-on-3's (Big Up to the Champs) Nick held it down and brung home the Spring 3-on-3's in Cash Money's name And we're takin every outside tournament at UConn this Spring!!! MO' CASH, MO' MONEY, MO' CHAMPIONSHIPS... they can't keep the dynasty down!!! LET'S GOOOOOO Okay, okay, we had a little scare for a minute and thought ya boy wasn't going to be able to play this semester but all that nonsense is over and it's time to get down to business. Lookin at the schedule it seems we have the regular schedule of teams competing once again to knock off the champs. Unfortunately for ya'll not only are we back and feeling better than ever after such an exciting end to last semester's winter season but we also have a new recruit who's expected to do some big things. Don't worry about who he is just yet, you'll find out soon enough. And special shoutouts go out to the friends of the program: Steve Guyette and Rene Rosado, who helped aid the family in bringing home the Men's Winter Classic 5-on-5 Title. Among the normal contenders this semester we have the return of Randy's Boys who we'd like to send a personal congrats on returning to the intramural scene. We didn't get a chance to play them the last time they participated so we look forward to meeting them this time around in what should be a spectacular thrashing by Cash Money (don't you just love that word... thrashing!). Anyways, I'm gonna keep this short and brief because I'm tired of talkin already, I'll let our scores speak for us... HOLLA!!! Oh yeah, big ups to Kwasi who's workin with the Chicago Bulls and Chris who's doin the teachin thing up in Mass, ya'll stay up and hit up ya boy. (Jan '05) THE EXPANSION CONTINUES... Just when you thought Cash Money couldn't possibly monopolize the co-rec scene anymore we go ahead and do something crazy like win Co-Rec Football. "What is really going on?", you say? Expansion btches!!! In an effort to go out with an even bigger bang than previously intended Cash Money is coming for the Campus Co-Rec Intramural Trophy. Yep, the fam wants it all, basketball, football, volleyball, soccer, water polo, we're takin it all! So when you see "Cash Money" on your team's schedule, don't look surprised, heed the warning. Do you hear that? Footsteps... WE'RE COMIN!!! (Dec. '04) DON'T HURT 'EM CA$H MONEY!!! Now, just when you thought we couldn't get any worse, we couldn't talk any more sht, and we couldn't build any larger a monopoly... we go and start a Cash Money Co-Rec Football Team. I mean it's bad enough that we're dominating one sport but now we have to go and take titles from teams in other events as well, I know, I know, it's not fair. I was actually sympathetic on this one and said to my female counterpart, "Jen, I think we should at least give people a chance to win co-rec football since we dominate every facet of the intramural basketball scene here at UConn". However Jen would have none of it, and now the expansion begins. Our previous goal of 8 titles in one academic year just wasn't enough, we're comin for the Co-Rec Campus Trophy too. So all of you who thought you were safe from the wrath of Cash Money since you were outside the realm of basketball, I'm sorry, but don't look now... OH NO, DON'T HURT 'EM CA$H MONEY, DON'T HURT 'EM!!! Hahahahaha (Nov. '04) EIGHTH WONDER Well my friends, as the co-rec intramural season ends I find no need to brag or say I told you so. After all it was never in doubt that we would walk away with the title. Much respect goes out to a few teams who put up a good fight but still ended up with the L. And though they're too shy to have they're own page on the site, much love goes out to the women of Cash Money who did the damn thang. Things definitely wouldn't have been this easy without ya'll, nobody can compete so bring home a couple more titles for the family this year. As for the title of the article, eight is the magic number. Already having two titles under our belts, why not go for the record. Seven are available at the fieldhouse (co-rec, 3's, winter 5's, and spring 5's) and we already have the Tower's 3-on-3 under our belt, so eight in all. Like I said before, if we're goin out, we're goin out with a bang. And who knows, why stop at eight... there is the Lambda Hoopfest, Alumni Basketball Tournament, and who knows what else might pop-up around campus. Keep an eye out, cause I know we will. Naaaaaaaaaaamean. (Oct. '04) WE'RE TAKIN IT ALL! As many of our careers at UConn wind down the Upper Management of Cash Money feel that it is imperative that we leave a resounding memory of the dynasty many have helped to build. While it may not end with us we still want to remind all the returners and show all the new faces why we were, are, and always will be the best to have ever done it here on the UConn Intramural Basketball scene. With that said let it be known that all tournaments are ours for the taking. If we hear of a tournament with a decent prize, we'll be there! So when you go to sign up across campus thinking that we wont make that trip, think again, and if there's an entry fee... save your money. Gettin it started right... (Sept. '04) CATCH UP NIGGAS! The 2004 - 2005 Season has brung a revitalized effort from many Cash Money hopefuls to get back in shape and work on their game. Makes me proud, ya'll keep workin hard and be sure to hit up the field house MONDAY - THURSDAY AT 5:30 p.m. AND EVERY SATURDAY AT 2:00 p.m. so we can see what you got. On the real though, there's about 5 niggs goin out for 2 spots, you do the math... What you do, We do better, CATCH UP! (Aug. '04) REACHING NEW FRONTIERS Many congratulations are due to Cash Money Co-Founder Kwasi Gyambibi on graduating from grad school this past May. Our very own "Holla Back" graduated with Bachelors Degrees in HDFS and Sociology and a Masters of Arts in Sports Management. As he moves on to bigger and better things we wish him the best and don't forget about ya boys back at UConn still holdin it down. Stay up, stay live, and keep ya head to the sky. Kwasi joins the already extensive list of Cash Money graduates including: Darryl Woods (May 2001) Chris "M.Glock" McLaughlin (May 2002) Amanuel "Manny Fresh" Haile-Mariam (May 2002) Adrew "Drew" (May 2002) Jamal "Mally G" (May 2002) Al "Stretch" Sinkonde (May 2003) Brance "B E-Z" Terry (May 2003) James "Snoop" Ellison (May 2003) Keron "Jumpman" Edwards (May 2003) Justin Orlando Corey Wilson Pete Ijeh Chris Ijeh Jared Clifton Jim Frolish Brent Jensen Hank "Primetime" Robinson (May '04) CAN'T STOP! WON'T STOP!!! What up UConn, you're favorite intramural dynasty is back for one last entry this school year and give ya'll the wraps on Cash Money. After a long and hard fought season that saw its ups and downs we ended ours in the Sweet Sixteen round at the NIRSA National Tourament at Ohio University. Hard to picture Cash Money losing I know but the competition was tough and though we played good we came up a little short. Even though we didn't bring home a national title, much love goes out to the men's and women's basketball teams that brought home the hardware, good job! AND A BIG SHOUT OUT GOES TO ERIN BYRNE of the Cash Money Women's team, she made the All-American team at nationals as the leading scorer for the tournament. While in Ohio we somehow managed to fight through our depression to celebrate a victory over Duke, which we almost got kicked out of the hotel for... 4 times, and head out to the clubs down on Court Street. As you can see, Chris had a little more fun than everybody else in the club but Rachel and Erin made a strong run for second place. Overall, it was another great road trip and great time had by all. Can't wait to do it again next year. Ya boys will be back in action come next winter and all challengers are welcome. For those of ya'll who have been askin to get put on Cash Money I appreciate the love. For real, that sht makes nggas feel good but as captain again next year I'm tryin to hold an open run to pick up some extra talent. I mean, who wouldn't want to travel and ball against some of the best in the country, all for free. If you're interested holla at ya boy. And if you're one of those, I'm not gonna sell out my team and run with Cash Money, remember that when you're pickin up that L against us next semester, aight! Ya'll be easy until next season, and if you ain't Cash Money, get ya practice in ngga cause you gonna need it!!! (Apr. '04) WHAT'S REALLY GOOD UCONN?! Ya boys are back at it again, doin the damn thang in Boston at the NIRSA Regional Tournament at Boston University. This past weekend Cash Money took our act on the road as we do every year to our first regional tournament. I must say the competition was pretty good, at least better than UConn, no disrespect, but come on everybody they're champions too. So we had to step up our game a little bit. As we pondered how we could improve on an already stacked squad we realized the answer had been right in front of us for years... A Few Good Men. In the merger of the century, A Few Good Men and Cash Money merged, we thought about changin the name to A Few Good Men Holdin Cash Money but decided to keep it traditional and go with Cash Money. As I'm sure you can imagine the merger filled any holes that might have previously been due to injury or inexperience that was seen in the intramural tournament here at UConn. With a roster full of stars we breezed through the regular season undefeated and with a #1 seeding. In the playoffs things got a little rougher but we pulled through to the championship game where we were facing a team that we had already played and beat by 27 the day before. We ended up underestimating them and trailing by one going into halftime. Motivational words by Kwasi Gyambibi, Chris McLaughlin, and a new face, Brian Sideris got the team going as we rallied and won by 10. With the victory Cash Money captured its second NIRSA Regional Championship in a row. Much love goes out to the Women's Cash Money members that came up to BU to show support, we really appreciate it. And definitely much love goes out to the newest members of the Men's Cash Money squad: Brian Sideris Nicholas Corkery (Nick the Stick) Troy Helming Welcome to the family, MO' CA$H, MO' MONEY, MO' CHAMPIONSHIPS! Yeeeeeeeaaah! (Mar. '04) IN THE END, THERE WAS ONE... First and foremost, I'd like to give my condolences to Randy's Lil Nggas who suffered a tragic azz whoopin at the hands of A Few Good Men in the semifinal round of the playoffs. Now that that's out of the way, the associates of Cash Money Enterprises Ltd. would like to thank everyone for coming out and helping us practice during this spring season, we really appreciate it. All the preparing paid off during our first and last game of the season against A Few Good Men in Gampel on March 4th. This night was especially significant for the team as it was Senior Night for Kwasi Gyambibi, Chris McLaughlin, and Trevor Clarke. The last game of our Cash Money careers at UConn, the three seniors were determined to make it a win. After a hard fought game against our long-time rivals, Cash Money once again came out on top. After a quick photo shoot, we were back on the court doing what we do best, winning. Pick-up games insued between the two rivals and Cash Money ended the night at 1:00 a.m. with a 3 - 0 record. So now that we have once again proven that we're the best that's ever did it here at UConn, we're retiring our dynasty and throwin our title up for grabs next year. Ya'll have fun but always remember who ran sht here from 1998 - 2004 ...2005? ...2006? Haha, I'm just fckin with ya'll, we ain't never gonna stop, HOLLA! (Mar. '04) AND YOU WERE SAYING... As the regular season comes to a close we find ourselves in the same position we're always in... first place. And so we must ask our opponents, "What were you saying?" Was it something along the lines of how you were going to beat us and it would be the biggest upset in intramural basketball history? I think it was, but low and behold, you have an L in your loss column and we have a 0. We can't say this about everyone who has been talkin trash since we have only beaten the teams in our group so far, but you better believe that if you make it through the playoffs then your road will eventually cross that of Cash Money's, and when it does... expect the L. That goes for you too, Randy's Lil Nggas! Hahaha (Feb. 04) WE'RE BACK BTCHES!!! Ya know, in my off season time there were too many people talkin sht to me about how we were lucky we didn't play in the winter season because they would have taken us out, we couldn't have beat all the talented teams, no one was afraid of us anymore, blah, blah, blah. Look, no one has to be afraid of us, we're not out to kill anyone (physically anyways...) but you should be worried because know this... you will lose. This season, in the words of M.Glock, "We're not playin around with ya'll anymore, this ain't a game, it's business." So as you all keep runnin ya mouth about how you all are going to beat us, check the track record and keep an eye on the schedule because it will have all W's for us and if you're next on the schedule, recognize the pattern. I'm done talkin... come see us on the court. (Feb. 04) WHAT?! NO CA$H MONEY! Turns out, in a bitter plot to keep Cash Money from winning another title, plenty of garbage teams signed up in our Open division. Cash Money was put on the waiting list after only a day of registration had passed and thus far has not gotten the opportunity to pummel teams this winter. If it turns out that we don't get into this Winter Leage we'll just bide our time until the spring and be the first team at sign up. Worse for ya'll I'd say, too many months without whoopin azz makes Cash Money an angry squad. Holla at ya boy! (Dec. 03) 2003 BRINGS A NEW LOOK CA$H MONEY In 2002 Cash Money capped off its impressive season with championships at UConn, the NIRSA Regional Tournament at Boston University, and the ACIC Regional Tournament at the University of Rhode Island. The season culminated with a trip to the ACIC National Tournament at Disney World in Orlando. In 2003 a few of the team's key players have departed leaving big shoes to fill for the incoming wave of new Cash Money ballers. They'll be expected to come in and play at the same calibur of a team last year that went all the way to nationals. We'll have to see what they can do as the 2003 intramural season creeps up at UConn this coming November. Stay tuned... yeeeeeeeaaaah!
