<p>Cal</a> Quidditch League Holds First Tryout - The Daily Californian</p>
<p>Talk about taking "geek" into a whole new level</p>
<p>LOL that is the saddest thing ever. and im a huge harry potter fan 
</p>
<p>I don’t really get it though - being on the ground could not resemble quidditch that closely.</p>
<p>I have never put any restrictions on my son’s college search, the only requirement being that whatever school he ends up going to it must not have a Quidditch team.</p>
<p>Lmao @ LurkerDad!! Ehh I wouldn’t care so much if it had a Quidditch team…I would only require, if I were a father, that my son never join such a team as long as I was paying for his college education. </p>
<p>This really does take geek to another level…</p>
<p>Btw I love this quote at the end lol.</p>
<p>Freshman Michael Fresh said he came to the event not only for fun but also for the physical intensity of the game. </p>
<p>“(I was told) I’d get to tackle people if I came, so I came,” he said. “But I really want to make the team. If I got denied from this, I’d feel pretty ****ty.”</p>
<p>LurkerDad, that might be hard considering how many colleges appear to have teams. I’m sure the dork ferver will catch on and more will form too. 
</p>
<p>Ha ha, the whole thing is hilarious! Now I want to see one these matches. I wonder how they run around with a broom between their legs. I found out my old CC had a team so it’s too bad I moved away. (Am I a horrible person if I’m considering starting a team at my new CC…?)</p>
<p>how does the whole snitch and bludger thing work then?</p>
<p>LurkerDad, you don’t want your kid going to harvard? because that school has an excellent quidditch team.</p>
<p>Not just Berkeley. UCLA has a Quidditch team too. </p>
<p>I believe the Snitch is an actual person. He runs around and the Seekers have to find and catch him (… couldn’t they have come up with a better way?)</p>
<p>… u serious about the snitch? oh my goodness…haha</p>
<p>they look terrible compared to UCLA’s team…they’re gonna get killed.</p>
<p>Doesn’t Harvard and either Princeton/MIT have a StarCraft team?</p>
<p>^iono, but i do know that berkeley has a starcraft class

<p>^ hahaha that’s funny. starcraft is actually a big televised event in s. korea -_-</p>
<p>nice, do the hippies fly on their brooms naked?</p>
<p>What’s wrong with quiddich? How can it be any dorkier than curling, or chess, or bob sledding?</p>
