Surprised UMass is our lone representative from the FCS World...

Would think that especially with schools like Boston Univ, LSU and Washington, that we'd see an entrant from possibly a Furman or Wofford...

Saw the video of the sport online a few weeks ago -- looks rather entertaining. GO UMASS!

It's some fake crap from that Harry Potter bs? Are you kidding me? I guess they made a sport for the AV Geeks.

We're talking about legitimate contenders for the CQWC....we all know Princeton's beaters are going to be a glaring weakness this year. xrulesx

In all honesty, overlooked Princeton. xnonono2x

Something tells me that MIT geeks are inventing a way to get brooms with jet packs so they can actually fly.

Who knew Quidditch, MIT, and the Darwin Awards would all be potential topics in a single "When Disaster Strikes" episode on the Discovery channel?

Yeah but they are so geeky they'd reserve the use of the jetpacks to play this stupid game and put dumb ***** on the MIT dome.

Ah, the 2008 College Quidditch Cup, brought to you by Viagra...

Is it healthy to grab your "brooms" that way in public? Or legal?
