Around SBN: The Week In Worst: When Baseball Goes Wrong

FINE. WE PLAY QUIDDITCH.

Goddammit. Here we are, conjuring all the reasons you should pull for Florida instead of BYU tonight and trying to do so without resorting to cliched outright mockery of Mormonism. And we were doing so well with our list! 

  1. Point guard capable of both winning and losing the game!
  2. Guy named "Chandler Parsons" who despite his name is NOT a douchebag!
  3. Is not the team with a guy named "Jimmer" on it. 
  4. As a community generally celebrates you getting as drunk and enthusiastically promiscuous as you care to be, because the most American thing of all is liberty (and abusing it.) 
  5. We weren't the guys whose buddy shot Bill Henrickson in cold blood, leaving his defenseless, sensual wives unprotected and sexually needy. We await your call for relief assistance. Ask us to do anything. Please. We're here to help.

It was all going so well, and then this happened.

We sort of want a Gator-themed Quidditch cape now, and that is our burden to bear. The rest of you can make your own choices, since we're all about transparency and seriously, a school with an active Quidditch team might be a step too far for even some of your Ultrageek asses. (ND students, don't even start to front, though: you're in on this like an Indiana Excise Cop with a nightstick on a 13 year old with a wine cooler, and denying it only makes you look worse.)

However, if this sport can be dominated by nerdy white guys with little to no athletic ability, then I support it. We have to fill those trophy cases with something, and it sure as shit isn’t going to be crystal footballs.

I lived in heavily-Mormon Boise for a long-ass time

Definitely the nicest folks I’ve ever met. Also the most subtly judgmental. And a little on the pushy side (trying to get me to go to temple with them every weekend for about 15 years despite my declared papistry). This is obviously not universally true, but generally speaking.

I may have already said this, but to accommodate the Mormon kids, my senior year in high school we had to get a permission slip to watch Pay It Forward. Because it had a curse word in it.

Pretty common misconception.

Two different buildings; one where the regular meetings/services happen, and one where, among a few other things, folks get married. Although only the consecration of the marriage is supposed to happen there, as Joseph Smtih made it pretty clear weddings were supposed to be public affairs, and then the Church found out this way squeezes more tithe money out of less-active parents trying to see their kids get married…I keep forgetting EDSBS and “the time and place for this” are very different things.

and then have a big public to-do where everybody and their brother can go. The actual Temple ceremony would leave a non-member going…“is that it?”

There might be some logistics issues. I haven’t spent a ton of time at Camp Randall, but it did not seem blessed with giant concourses or substantial vending space.

I think...

…that the NCAA rule is that only off-campus stadia can sell booze. I could be wrong on this – it would not be a first.

And there are only 16 schools total that sell booze. Including the 6 above, we have Miami (FL), UConn, Pitt, USF, UNLV, San Diego State, FAU, Hawaii, Temple, and Tulane

Oh noes! TIM TEBOW VS THE JIMMER

Please let this turn into a Twitter fight, Please let this turn into a Twitter Fight. I want to see how many backhanded compliments they can give each other

I’m a big fan of Jimmer and the way he plays but let’s be honest, he’s Gator bait this Thursday!

Holy war in the offing.

The only real solution? Cleansing fire. I care not directed at who.

I'm divided about this whole BYU/Florida thing...

The fundamentalist inside me appreciates BYU sticking to their guns (as misdirected as those guns may be) and upholding their honor code. Plus, I’ve always supported BYU athletics for some unknown reason (I think it was the old scool 80s uniforms). And they’re playing Florida, I mean, it’s Florida, right? Can’t root for your rival. It’d be a Commandment if Moses was around now. That being said, it IS an SEC basketball team not named Kentucky, and I really like the makeup of this Florida team, plus I picked them to get to the Final Four…

FUCK IT. FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY (UNLESS YOU PLAY DUKE)

May God and General Neyland forgive me.

I know, I know.

We’re predictable. I’ll also root for Kentucky against tOSU.

That's a sinkhole game for me.

And probably a good time to organize my tax filing files.

Ha

I loved every second of Michigan’s turkeybasting of you, and I hope Jimmer drops 90 tonight.

(I am sad Pearl got fired though).

The list is long, but distinguished.

Is Western Kentucky still Independent?

Would they be interested in playing in Vatican City?

Western is in the Sun Belt.

I can’t blame you though. The Sun Belt is the Purdue of conferences.

I need to kick my own ass just for watching this video

Though maybe you need to be a Potter fan to see the fun in this. Maybe if blitzball was actually possible…

No. No, I need to believe I’d never do that.

Just for awareness

Because my friends are nerdy and play, University of Miami’s Quidditch team just won the “Swamp Cup” on UF’s campus.
At least we are good at something…

I will pay you to pay Jacory Harris . . .

to join the quidditch team. And to ask Ray Lewis what he thinks of the Hurricanes’ thrilling quidditch victory.

Really, I just lost all respect.

I thought UF was the home of hot chicks and manly men.

Hot chicks?

It might seem counter-intuitive, but UF usually falls way down the list when ranking co-ed aesthetics. Of course there are hot chicks at Florida (proof unnecessary, please). But hot chicks isn’t their “thing”.

academic standards thinned the talent pool

and a bunch of national championships made us lazy.

There’s some damn talent, for sure. But in the SEC, we’re mid-tier at best. I also hate to admit it, but it is the ONLY thing FSU has over us as well.

Muncie has Quidditch, now

But there seemed to be a large contingent of students playing Humans vs Zombies. I was never interested and I always threw their Nerf darts to the nearest sewer drain. Call me an asshole, but those assholes would shoot at me even if I wasn’t wearing a Goddamn bandana.

Although- I am proud that a lot of my friends over at a non-existing school blamed me for spreading that disease over to their non-existing campus.
