Cedarville University offered students around 20 differentintramural sports, from table tennistobikehikes to chasing a giant pumpkin for 5000 meters. Some of the more competitive team sports included basketball , co-ed Ultimate Frisbee, and men' s and women 's flag football . "The most fun aspect of participation, for me, has been team mascots. For instance, there are these guys out there who call themselves "Ray Nitschke's Blind Fury." They play football and softball. They're what intramurals are all about." (Scott Kordic, junior) For those who don't know, Nitschke was a linebacke for some great Green Bay Packers ' teams. Mascots have become a method for creating team persona. Some notable team names besides Nitschke this yea were Curdled Milk , Trojan Rabbits, and Positive Town. While it is enjoyable to hear such creative and witty team names, it didn't seem to prove beneficial when finals came along. Several of this year's winners, including men's and women's volleyball, ultimate Frisbee, and men's and women's 3-on-3 basketball, never chose a unique name. Many of the brackets this season were completed with such names as "G7" and "G31." I appeared that, at least for this season, a team could not possess both a remarkable name and a remarkable record. "Lushious green grass, billowing white clouds, balmy spring breezes and a pleasant temperature - the perfect setting for a game of ultimate frisbee. " (Joel Losch, senior) The fact that they are playing flag football probably won't stop this quarterback from getting creamed like corn unless he's really fast.
