BU Gets Sorted

Hey there Terriers,

So I’m doing a little self-promotion today in the form of Boston University Quidditch (<– check out our new site!). Keep reading, though, because what I’ve got is pretty cool.

Tonight at 730pm, the BUQ captains are gathering to sort the nearly 150 team members that will be competing in this year’s BU Quidditch league. “The draft” will be viewable via twitter, where @BUQuidditch will be tweeting out live updates of who is going where. So what will you be? A Hippogriff, a Nargle, a Mandrake or a Phoenix?

Not all of you will be lucky enough to join me on the Man(ly)drakes… sorry. But make sure to come to NICKERSON FIELD at 4pm on Sunday to see the official Sorting Ceremony take place. It’ll be a great time.

Also in the quidditch world: BU is preparing its tournament team for this year’s world cup which will be held on Randall’s Island in New York city. Those of you who don’t know, that’s an epic sports complex, complete with a 20,000 person stadium where the championship will be held. Yeah… quidditch is legit. With 100 teams competing (around 500 worldwide, and BU ranked 5th) it’s going to be one of the most stunning college sporting events of 2011.

Whether you come as a fan, or come to laugh, you won’t be disappointed by what you see at the World Cup. It’s an aggressive, face-paced, full-contact sport, but at the end of the day, we’re playing with brooms and we know that. Deep down though, I know you’ll want to join.

We hope to see you, Sunday! Until then, keep being you, BU.
