Jake Height – 5'11' Weight – 165 Signature Shot – Blacked-out Sorority Girl Call Name/Nickname – Spare Tire Aspiring Career – Portuguese Entertainment Boat Owner and Captain Favorite Quote or Saying – "I ain't your brah" |
Without much knowledge or memories about his childhood, Jake does know he was born Jason Leary in 1981, somewhere in the Northwestern United States. One of his rare and most influential memories of his childhood was Jake's ninth birthday when his father gave him a carton of Marlboro Reds and an old, ramshackle balsa wood foosball table. Not ever knowing his mother, Jake's last memory of his father was Christmas Eve, 1991, when men in all black burst through the windows of their home and hurried his father out the front door amid much smoke, yelling, and sirens. Turns out his father was pushing a black-market panty line out of Northern Vietnam. After bouncing from foster home to foster home, Jake's only passion was hustling people for money on his balsa table by wheel barreling it from town to town in suburban Chicago. All the earned money and his extreme precocious mastering of the Triangle musical instrument landed Jake at Indiana University by age 15, where he is now a seventh year senior and leader of the Foosball Club. |

Scott Height – 6'5'' Weight – 205 Signature Shot – Dazed and Confused Swoops Shot Call Name/Nickname – Black Mamba Aspiring Career – Boxing Promoter Favorite Quote or Saying – "A flute without holes is not a flute. A donut without a hole is a Danish." |
| Scott Vidimos was born on March 11, 1982 in Aachen, Germany. He was a unicycle master in the traveling circus until his parents died in a freak trapezes accident in 1989. He knew that America was a key to his future and snuck on a Belgian chocolate tanker headed for Cape Cod. He learned English from a good looking homeless woman on the street named Lise. He was later adopted by a West Virginia family who furthered his education and put him through high school. This is where he joined a gang of foosball hustlers called “The Pipe Hittin N****Rs.” Nobody knows what this kid did to gain the respect from such a powerful group, but there are rumors about a foosball table made out of human bones. Scott is now a senior at Indiana University where he is majoring in Business Operations and Management. |

Poske Height – 6'3'' Weight – 180 Signature Shot – Three Legged Monkey Call Name/Nickname – Poske Aspiring Career – Unsuccessful Basejumper Favorite Quote or Saying – "Grip it and rip it!" |
| Not much of Matt Poske's childhood is known, it is guessed that he originated near Lynchburg, TN, due to his unique taste for their local brew. He has been spotted throughout the world performing various tasks, but his heart is with foosball. He toured the amateur circuit until the untimely death of his sherpa Outont. Now slumped in misery for his fallen companion, he has taken a taste for activities that will certainly take his life. He lives his life in shambles and drowns his sorrows away with his hometown brew, but a spark may return him to his undying dream... Foosball. |

Adam Height – 5'4'' Weight – 193 Signature Shot – Wicked One-eyed Wack Call Name/Nickname – Seven Fingered Stallion (no longer in use) Aspiring Career – Middle Man Favorite Quote or Saying – ? |
| Adam Clifford was born on a steamy night in July of 1981 somewhere in North America. He is the eldest of seven children born to a nuclear reactor technician and a Las Vegas omelet chef. Adam nearly died in infancy due to severe circulatory system problems. His normal-sized heart was insufficient to pump blood through his body as a result of him having two extra appendages on each of his hands and feet. The sickly child's heart eventually grew to be larger and stronger than a regular man to compensate. After overcoming the adversity of his first few years, Adam excelled both academically and socially. By the age of nine, he was a world renowned pianist. He could play even the most difficult piece by Mozart using only one of his seven-fingered hands. Tragically, his musical career was ended in 1997 by a demented fan that seduced the young protégé, drugged him, and cut off his extra fingers (which the fan believed were the source of Adam’s exceptional talent and beauty) in his sleep. While “working through” his depression for this incident in the pubs and coffee shops of Holland, Adam began to focus his energy on various bar sports. Foosball became his new outlet for his creativity. Currently, he continues to play as he completes a Finance/Real Estate Degree from Indiana University. |

| Chetan Sampat was born August 10, 1982 on the eastern seaboard of the United States . He was abandoned at the age of 2 when people realized chairs do not need shoes and the family business went bankrupt. He grew up peddling curry for the Indian Mafia on the tough streets of Hartford and gradually worked his way up the ranks. By the age of 18, he was a top lieutenant for the family and expanded the business to Baltimore . Two years later he left for Europe after surviving an attempted hit by the curry suppliers in India , who thought he was from Arabia . This is where he took up the sport of foosball and was trained by the best; the former East German Champion, Smeed. In tight quarters and under harsh conditions, Smeed played Chetan everyday until blood spilled from boy’s hands. After Smeed’s untimely death in the summer of 2003, the kid returned to America to live the life his master never could as a foosball hustler. Today, Chetan continues to hustle and is a senior at Indiana University majoring in Marketing, Operations Management, and International Studies. |

Shapiro Height – 5'8 Weight – 145 Signature Shot – The Money Shot Call Name/Nickname – The Feline Fence, Bagheera Aspiring Career – ? Favorite Quote or Saying – "42.7 percent of statistics are made up." |
| Matthew Shapiro is the only known half-man, half-cat on the planet. On November 19, 1982, Shapiro was born to Tigris, a direct decendent of the ancient Thundercat Lionel, and then Empress of the cats of Africa. His father, Domingo Vazquezranchero died two months earlier in a freak monkey-related traffic accident. Domingo had been on his way to playing in his last Premier League Final. So, for thirteen years, until the time of his Bar Mitzvah Quest, Matt lived within his mother's empire, and enjoyed all the possible comforts a man-cat could hope for. However, upon his return, Shapiro found that Tigris had been overthrown for "illicit activities" with a K9 named Bo. He was now shunned by the cat empire, and forced to wander the Earth. After one week long bender in a Singapor bar, Matt finally realized that his cat-like reflexes and innate soccer talents lent themselves perfectly to the game of foosball. Ever since, he has hustled his way across the globe, and eventually saved enough money to enroll at Indiana University. He is currently a Senior majoring in Finance Real Estate. |

X-acto Height – 5'8'' Weight – 165 Signature Shot – Shoot Dog Call Name/Nickname – My Little Pony or X-acto Aspiring Career – Foosball Summer Camp Counselor Favorite Quote or Saying – "Iyamanewtiewearink" |
| Scott Rappaport was born in 1958 in Aachen, Germany. Was the first world Pog champion and lived off my Pog endorsement money until I had my first child Scott Vidimos. The dirty Pog money couldn’t support a family of three, so I had to get into the art of trapeze. In 1989, my wife and I faked our death because we hated our son and his lack of carney/circy skills and went into a witness relocation program in Cypress Creek and have been playing foosball with the best of them in Cypress Creek i.e. Hank Scorpio. |

Darrell Height – Gigantic Weight – ? Signature Shot – Dirty Deon Call Name/Nickname – "D" Aspiring Career – ? Favorite Quote or Saying – ? |
| In the rice paddies of the Mekong Delta deep in Vietnam, Darrell was born a Boudoi, the bastard child of an American POW and a village girl. At the age of 8, Darrell fled to Saigon alone after seeing his father beat his mother mercilessly to death with a bottle of fabric softener. Vowing revenge, Darrell took to the streets, first working as a coat check at a local brothel. At the age of 12, while working at the brothel, he was befriended by a local hood and small time hustler working for the Chinese Triad Syndicate. Wei lang Dong promised to teach the boy to fight if Darrell agreed to be a mule, trafficking raw opium from Laos to Bangkok. When he was 15, Darrell first learned how to play lon koh pei, or foosball to Westerners, while selling quick fixes to longshoreman at Dreamland, a seedy bar on the wharf in Bangkok. A few years later, he was the unofficial champion of Siam. Darrell became the proud owner of a Chinese junkanoo, after beating Sir William Chatham, a British royal from Essex, in a foosball tournament. When Sir William refused to hand over the boat, Darrell bit off his tongue and choked him to death with Sir William’s own ascot. After hearing his father had been released to the American government in exchange for a small shipment of stinger missiles; Darrell set sail for America, he was still hell-bent on revenge. After a freak swell off the coast of Cuba, Darrell was found nearly dead, washed up on the shores of Guantanomo Bay. He began to coach several Navy seals in the sport of foos, in exchange for training in weapons techniques and explosives. Finally, at the age of 21, the Navy decided to send Seal Team 5 back to the US, on a coast-to-coast foosball tour. Darrell was to be their coach. To this day, you can find him prowling VA halls and soup kitchens, at every stop they make; just waiting for the chance to exact his revenge. |
