Not Harry Potter? Not A Problem

Quidditch, the international sport of the wizarding world, has players zooming around on broomsticks and using balls to score points and knock one another off course.

The earthbound variation is called Muggle Quidditch. The sport originated in 2005 when a student at Middlebury College adapted the game for the nonmagical world. Its popularity quickly spread, and today more than 150 colleges throughout the United States have Quidditch teams.

The BU team was founded last spring, and by this fall the sport has taken off. The team holds scrimmages every Sunday afternoon on the BU Beach and in October competed against 11 other schools in the second annual Intercollegiate Quidditch World Cup, held in Vermont, at Middlebury.

I also love how this isn't gender separated

[raychella08]

did anyone else think that the guys in this were more attractive by default?

[Emper0rH0rde]

I think they should get rid of the broomsticks. They serve no purpose as they don't fly, and they look silly because they don't fly, and the (male) players look like they're holding themselves.

Other than that, muggle quidditch looks CRAZY fun!
