We should seriously consider fielding a team. A university that invites pop culture icons like Chuck Norris should definitely have a quidditch team.

Middlebury's turning out some real scholars these days.

"And Quidditch is one of the most creative things that came out of the books. We were able to create that here, follow all the rules, except the ability to fly."

Dang gravity.

Rainey Johnson, 20, a junior chemistry major from St. Louis, played the Snitch position, taking on the part of a winged ball. (A tennis ball stuffed in a sock and hanging from his shorts is what both teams are after.)

In a game that incorporates dedicated crotch-grabbing, Brady Quinn would be an All-Star.

Is this mercy-killing or cross-pollenation?
Only the strawberry knows.

worst idea ever. They've got a guy pretending to be the ball that flys around? I'd imagine that he would get tired pretty quickly and be easy to catch.

Also, I've always thought that the game itself is a pretty dumb idea for a sport. It's relatively uncreative.

haha, despite not recreating the ability to fly they still have brooms. Is this some kind of magnet school?

Of course they do...

Parents who are paying $46,910 a year to send their children to Middlebury think it's worth the price.
