As one of Oneonta's archrivals (our primary nemesis i believe may be appropriate) in the poetry slam scene, Omni likes to to talk alot of shit, example here- listen to omni rant....
He coached the New Paltz team (his alma mater, at least i think he graduated, and wasnt told to leave) to a victory in regionals over oneonta last week. This has of course been followed with much gloating and ridiculousness, including him 'going nuclear' on Oneonta, via some weird website (maybe thats the only way he can be certain to win every time...........)
we have always had a james bond/villain-esque relationship. mortal enemies, yet civil and resectful of each other. we can sit down for dinner together, comment on each others skill with flattery, and then try to throw the other one into a tank full of piranahhs. but in this instance, he appears to believe that he won regionals......... not four other fantastic poets who he 'coached', by most likely telling them how to rant like a homeless man with a carboard sign proclaiming the second coming of christ. and honestly, the last time i competed against omni, it looked something like the picture posted here.
Omni, i love you. i cover your poems more than anyone else in our collaborative, and not just beause they are whimsical rants that dont take much range to pull off.
and if anyone wants a good satirical commenting on todays society, i strongly recommend you read his blog.

I believe Omni's argument would be something like "oneonta had home field advantage." Just like that 7 tenths of a point he considers bomb worthy really matches up to last years some 5 point differential. I suppose it's all in how you look at it.
