Intramural Sports

It may seem but a distant memory, or perhaps a nightmare revisited; either way, before the leaves turned, some t-shirts were garnered.

Football: Button Hookers over Curse of Campassi, 40–18. Will Widen ‘07 went wild (but Snoop Dogg didn’t care), Colin Snow ’06 stormed, Josh “Favorite Spice Girl is Posh” Stevenson ’05 was outstanding, Tito “Arts and” Crafts ‘06 found receivers left and right, and Keith “No Disbelief” Croxton ’06 scored touchdowns galore. Croxton dropped a few passes early on with two hands, then started catching everything with one hand, and presto.

Rec 5v5 Basketball: Jesus Christ Superstars over Los Garcia Y Vegas 35-31. Congrats to Mike “Amen” Goyette ’05, Mike “King of Kings” Kong ‘05, Matt “The Apostle” Stephenson ‘05, Joe “Burning Bush is A Form of” Wildfire ‘05, Josh “I Hate Posh” Stevenson ‘05, Dan “Disciple” Yonkin ‘07, Tito “Converted” Crafts ’06 and Colin “Is A Sign” Snow ‘06.

Comp 5v5 Basketball: Free Spree over Lithuanian Blues 43–41. Danny “Nick Of Time” Fahey ’06 with a put back at the buzzer to cinch the come from behind win.

Volleyball Rec Finals: Da Miak over Winning Team 27–25, 27–25. “Rambling” Rich Lash ’05 and “Amazing” Andy Caselli ’05 led the team in a squeaker.

Volleyball Comp Finals: Magnificent 7 over Big Tom 18–25, 25–22, 25–23. And the best part–the Magnificent Seven had only three players show up. Perhaps it should be the Magnificent Three–Shana “Volatile” Volesky ‘08, “Jumping” Josh de Leeuw ’08, Eric “Spiking” Schrager ‘08–and the Tardy Four.

Rec Softball: Rufio over Flying Squirrels 19–12. Rufio rallied, despite a three run clout by the Squirrels’s Tyler “Budda Bing” Crosby ’07 and a blast off the bat of Andrew “Orlando” Birkhead ’07. But Anna “Backward K” Kwawer ’07 hung in and turned out to be the winning pitcher when Andy “Almost Makes up for the Cubs” McCaughan ’07 put Rufio ahead with a big triple.

Comp Softball: Initech over KC Laser, 15–8. “Gabby” Gabe Mosca ’05 started the one-sided slugfest off with a first inning homer. Not to be outdone, Pete “and Re–Pete” Diamanti ’05 went yard twice. Joining the barrage with Phil “Just Say” Oh ’05 with a long dinger. James “That A” Beaty ’05 had a couple of web gems in the outfield and, to add insult to injury, Josh “The Hammer” Lucido ’05 hit a titanic home run. Either that, or his squibber, turned into a four base error –we know which version little Linda and Larry Lucido will hear from Grandpa Josh in 2050.

Below are the new offerings for next round of IM madness. Deadline for entries is Oct. 31. E–mail stbuonfiglio with questions and entry information:

–Roster
–Separate listing of e–mail addresses for the team

The Offerings:

3v3 Basketball: Most 5v5 teams had only three good players anyway. Why they never showed up for games is another matter. Games are Wednesday and Sunday nights.

5v5 Indoor Soccer: No more chasing the ball down the hill, no more mud, no more leaves. This all assumes we keep the gym door closed. Games are Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday.

Volleyball: Da Miak is bumped to Comp– best news since Dorothy dropped that house on you know who. Games are Monday and Wednesday.

Team Handball: It’s not soccer, it’s not basketball, it’s not dodge ball. But it has elements of all three–you Olympic nerds saw it on CNBC at 3 a.m.–Go Bulgaria! Games are on Sundays.

Whiffle Ball: First one calling out “Who’s your Daddy” is banned. Games are Wednesdays.

Squash: Feel free to beckon “Who’s your daddy” here. Date to be announced.

Badminton: Not to be confused with bad mittens. One day event, Nov. 14.

Ping Pong: Easily confused with table tennis because they are one and the same. One day event, Nov. 14.

7v7 Dodge ball: One day event (heaven help us), Dec. 5.

Bowling: One day event, Nov. 17. Costs you $8 to see that you can’t bowl. You go to VC; it’s the cheapest lesson you’ll get.
