Let's play 'guess the champion'

Welcome to this week's intramural update. Big doings in the freshman intramural world as there is a soccer champion. Unfortunately, this article was due last night and thus I unable to find out the name of the champion in time. There were also freshmen volleyball results from last night, but again, same problem. Tune in next week when I will update all you eagerly awaiting intramural fans about the newly crowned champions and some of the results which I missed from this week.

Here is some information that I do have. In soccer, the Mad Cows of Metcalf capped off an undefeated season with a win over the Gangstars in action Tuesday night. The win over the Gangstars capped off an impressive run through the playoffs with the Mad Cows beating Uphill 1 and the Invasion to reach the finals.

In non-freshman soccer action, Thursday night saw Simon from England collect a forfeit win over the Sugar Daddies. Simon from England is now 4-2 in the Thursday night division while the Sugar Daddies are 1-4-1. Indy 1 took out the Larry Birdmelts 3-2 tying them with Simon from England at 4-2 and dropping the Larry Birdmelts to 2-4.

Juice took a forfeit over In Your Eye while Bombshell smoked DTD 6-2. Bombshell and In Your Eye both sport 4-2 records. DTD is 2-3 while Juice is now 1-6. The Rabid Wombats dropped a 5-3 decision to I-House dropping them to 4-2 and improving first place I-House to 5-1. Psycho beat the Lightning. They are now 3-3. The Lightning are 0-7.

On Monday night, the Halligan Hooligans took a forfeit in their game against Ill on the Hill. The Hooligans are 6-1. Ill on the Hill is 2-5. In other action, HDL took out Carmichael 7-2 to move their record to 3-4 and Carmichael's to 2-5.

Zeta Psi collected a forfeit in its scheduled game with the School Psychs to improve to a 5-2. The School Psychs dropped to 1-5-1. The Greeks beat the 357 Tigers to improve to 6-1 and drop the Tigers to one game above .500 at 4-3.

Insanity and Los Pieds Radicales tied 1-1. It was both teams' first tie of the season. Tappa Kegga blasted Indy 2 5-2 to advance themselves to 5-1 and dropIndy2 to 1-5. The Revolution topped the Screaming Butterflies 6-2. They are now 7-0. The Scramming Butterflies now stand at 5-2. A Tribe Called West nipped the Hodgdon Hobgoblins 5-4. A Tribe Called West is now 3-4. The Hodgdon Hobgoblins are now 0-6.

Regular volleyball is ready for the playoffs. In first place is Fletcher, who nipped the Isotopes 2-0. Now they're 6-1 or something. HNRC beat the Killer Beans 2-0, according to the website. The Hornets beat Jon Stol by a 2-0 margin. Now HNRC is 6-1 while the Killer Beans are 4-3.

Now, I'd like to take this time to discuss the inherent inequalities between winners and losers which are evident in humanity, but play an especially prominent role in the intramural world. This scholar finds it troubling how even in the comparatively tame intramural world we still must differentiate between the good and the bad. But such is the nature of life. Some are champions while others must be the runners up or even the losers. Sometimes it is hard for scholars, such as myself, to get by that.

Anyway, the volleyball playoffs are rolling toward their inevitable conclusion. Somebody will be champion _ probably Fletcher. Each champion in each league will receive a championship t-shirt, further widening the gap between the "haves" and the "have-nots" in intramurals.

Well tune in next week, or not as the case may be, for the intramural score here at The Tufts Daily. I'm going to go drink. Oh wait, I already did.
