Peluche!! - 02-20-2006, 02:53 PM

Well I figured I'd share this with everyone... Since it's all happened to most of us atleast once in our careers.

http://www.collegehumor.com/movies/1663190/

It's a kid from Fairfield University... Thier team talks a lot of crap - so it's just sooo fitting.

Also - I love how the camera is in complete focus with him the whole time. Almost as if it were planned.

Props to the hitter from Brown who did the ownage.

P.S. - Our teach calls a facial, six pack, etc. a Peluche. It has some portugeus translation... Just what one of the alumni of the team called it when they went to nationals. Man those guys were amazing

Figured I'd add this one too.

This happened last year at Kansas city during the nationals D1 game.

This is one of three streakers - the last one got destroyed by security.

So I couldn't just handle the peluche being left out there undefined. So, I had a Portugese dictionary right to my desk but there was nothing in it. So, I did a little google search and stumbled on a French website that used the term... So, in the online translator it define peluche as (become fluffy). So you say what now?? Well, The French website was actually for Stuffed bears. aka d'OURS PELUCHE. Hahahaaaa

Yea... It *literally* means stuffed bear. However, it's something slang in volleyball language for them I believe.

It's like us saying six-pack or pan-cake. Someone who doesn't know the language could translate though, and they'd be like "a breakfast treat?"
