In our third preliminary match i was taken away, by stretcher, with a broken collarbone. The Green Mountain guy was taken away, with "unspecified head and neck injuries"(-http://www.myfoxdfw.com/dpp/news/dpgo_Harry_Potter_Quidditch_College_fc_200910261256572361654), a little after i got back from the hospital. -Cassie btw, this is great, i was there as a player for the Virginia Commonwealth University Team. but i kinda feel that i should mention that i was also injured there.

People often give me odd looks when they see me wearing it, but it's great chance to fill them in on some of the details. Great post!

Also, I don't know if they did it this year, but last year they have a live video feed on the website so you could watch if you couldn't attend.
