This past weekend, we drove to Michigan to participate in this year’s National Dodgeball Championship (yeah, it’s only Midwest schools, but that’s what it’s called). DePaul went 1-2 on Day 1, defeating the JV team of Michigan State and losing to the eventual #2 and #3 teams of the weekend, Saginaw Valley State and Ohio State. We got in our two games on Sunday, against Western Kentucky and MSU JV (again), the latter of which turned into a crazy mashup of DePaul, MSU, GVSU, SVSU, Wisconsin-Platteville, referees, and a few stray animals playing a few games. The weekend was a blast, though I’m not sure everyone has completely recovered from it.

We really want to thank Grand Valley for hosting and putting together a top-notch tournament with few snags/things to complain about; we know it was hard, especially with schools dropping out, and you made it a fun experience for us. We would also like to thank our best good friends at Michigan State, who graciously housed our team for the weekend and partook in various debauchery with us. You guys are the greatest, and we would absolutely love for you to come to Chicago sometime soon.

Dodgeball presses forward, Mondays and Thursdays at 9:30. We may be experimenting in a few variations of dodgeball inspired by the weekend, including “Gladiator Dodgeball” from this weekend. Hilarity and awesomeness ensue.

See you on the courts,

P.S.: Did anyone see this when it was up two years ago? This is the first I saw of it. Cracked me up.
