Okay, im not sure what the title means, but the craptacular weather inspired me to write about the greatest winter sport ever. That’s right, broomball. Now if you don’t know what broomball is or how its played, check out this link:

also, here is a great video:

I suggest playing that video with Led Zeppelin II in the background, or the Velvet Underground’s self titled album.
Now, I played broomball all through college, I think I was playing at least 3 games a week my senior year. It’s a great workout and a lot of fun, and if you wear an Ohio State sweatshirt and khaki pants to play in, then the experience is even better.
Furthermore, broomball was the forum for one of the greatest rivalries in sports history, between the Jews on Ice (the Miami Hillel team) and Phi Sigma Pi (ivan and my Honor fraternity). This heated conflict broke out in much tension in which a couple yarmulkes got knocked off. However, the key is that the Jews never won a game and phi sigma pi consistently tore those jews a new one on the ice. The most memorable of which was the stunning playoff game in which a key Lazarus no-look pass to Goldberg led to the go-ahead goal with one minute left and the game ended 2-1. It was a remarkable moment in sports history, ESPN classic is interviewing the key players this summer so they can air the game in its entirety with commentary.
Enjoy,
