Quidditch

I wish, so much, that I'd gotten closer to take a better picture than this:

Yesterday evening, we walked onto campus to watch the USC quidditch team practice!  Glenn read the official rule book beforehand so we'd know what was going on.  There are a few rules that are different than in the Harry Potter books, and also brooms don't actually fly.  So that makes it a little different.  The funniest thing was that they actually hold a broom between their legs as they run around.  It is actually an important part of the game, because it forced them to catch and pass the quaffle one-handed.  The broom also causes some pretty gruesome injuries for the men.  We saw one while we there...

Violet thought the whole thing was pretty funny.
