Over on our Facebook page, I asked y’all what your favorite type of uniform was. By a narrow margin, the traditional soccer kit worn by the likes of Kansas and USC edged out the “modern” look worn by teams like Emerson and TAMU. Ironically, coming in at a distant third was the simple and clean...

When Your Team Wins World Cup

[texasquidditch]

Meet Hank Dugie of the University of Texas(s).  Does this post even need an elaborate description?  Just look at that thing.  I’ve seen my fair share of butts in my day, but this is the first male quidditch butt to ever put me at a loss for words.  If you can find a better man-butt in all of quidditch, I’d love to see it.  Until then, congratulations to Hank for being officially awarded the title of “Best Man-Butt in Quidditch.”  Do they even make thrones big enough to fit him?

Take Me Out To The Ballgame (Quidditch Edition)

I wrote this while at World CUp with the assistance of my Austin Quidditch team:

Take me out to the quidditch pitch

Take me out to the crowd

Buy me some frogs and butter beer

Hurry now cuz the snitch is near

And its Root, root, root for the home team

If they don’t win blame the ref!

Cuz its 1, 2 then red card you’re out

At the quidditch match!

*I may post a video singing but I have an awful voice so if anyone wants to sing let me know and we can make it!

Texas Quidditch is more than just the two traveling teams that play competitively in the IQA, it is also the four house teams that play intramurally here on campus. The first house team we’re featuring is Gryffindor which is currently captained by Becky Schmader and Kenny Chilton. 

When Texas Quidditch first came into being Gryffindor was originally the name for the varsity team on campus. They would compete against the other houses still but to be on the team you had to be on varsity. Eventually Gryffindor slowly faded out and only three houses remained on campus to compete intramurally. By fall of 2012 though the officers of Texas Quidditch realized that a fourth house team was needed due to the growth within the organization. It was at this time that Kenny Chilton and Becky Schmader became captains of the newly reformed Gryffindor. 

Kenny and Becky lead Gryffindor with the idea that it is fun that we are supposed to be having out on the quidditch pitch and it is because of this that they have come to call Gryffindor, GryfFUNdor.
