Not UConn, but interesting

[HuskyNan]

Non-NCAA champions. Note: some sports are still being played and so not listed

Meat judging?

 

[Zanzman]

I wonder how much competition on some of these events

 

[Bone Dog]

Dodgeball. Go Spartans! I gather that one is organized under the American Dodgeball Association of America.

Meat judging?

View attachment 88434

JUst wondering if Texas A&M won both in the same competition: Meat Judging & Wool Judging, or did they "pull the Wool over the judges eyes?!?"

 

[Galaxyshooter]

Dairy cattle and wool judging seems very exciting does anyone know who are the all-time champions in those sports? and please inform the landscaping team they can use my lawn for practice. Also, do you have to be lactose intolerant in order to compete on the dairy-tasting team?

 

[Forego]

What? No equestrian events like polo or dressage? Feeling pretty unappreciated. UConn fields teams for these events. These could be our secret weapon to gain entry into a P5 conference.

 

[Galaxyshooter]

Did Jonathan compete in the mascot dance competition or is he to ruff ruff

Dodgeball is so easy, all you gotta do is Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and um Dodge.

 

[meyers7]

Not only have I never heard of Quadball, there's 2 divisions of it.

 

[Pinhead]

Go Climbing Utes! Skiing too!

 

[Ozimoto]

What! No Quidditch? I'm shocked I tell you! (Tongue firmly embedded in cheek).

Yes! This should have been listed

Takeaways:

But of course:

• Notre Dame: Gaelic Football
• Air Force, Army: Boxing
• Air Force: Skydiving
• UCLA: Taekwando (actually, UCLA will be good at most things athletic)
• Waterski (Women): Louisiana. Rajun' on the Bayou

Really?

• Ohio State: Bollywood Fusion Dance
• Pitt: Cricket
• Penn: Curling (I've got to talk to Notre Dame AD about this....)
• Georgia Tech: Mascot Dance. Who else joins the Yellow Jacket inside the Ramblin' Wreck?

And a Question

- SHU: Irish Dance. Who/What is "SHU?" I know the colors don't match Seton Hall U. in the Big East.
And this is another one that Jack Swarbrick, ND AD, should get on...fast.

I'm surprised none of the UConn fans jumped on this - Sacred Heart in Fairfield Connecticut. They were in the NCAA's, a First Four team that lost to Stanford in the first round.

@Dillon77, cricket is a real game, played in many countries around the world. Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, Ireland, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, along with the West Indies, are some of the countries that participate in this game.

 

[Skeets]

UConn should be competitive in anything dealing with cows or ice cream.

I'm sure Dillon is well aware of Cricket. I think the question was, what does Pitt have to do with Cricket?

Thanks @meyers7 : Your take is precisely what I was thinking. How did Pitt established a club/league that has gotten this good. While cricket is, indeed, played globally, as @FormerCTrez points out, not sure I thought of it as an epicenter of wickets!

That said, there's a Sunday league in Clifton, NJ, that's been playing for years. I pass it everytime I come home from my Sunday morning hoops league.

They used to play (in their whites) in a little park in Hartford. Right off I-91. I stopped and watched them for awhile once, back a few years. Not sure if they play there anymore.

Looking on Google maps, it's called Riverside park. Between I-91 and the Connecticut River, just north of I-84.

 

[ShmiCO]

which team wins paintball, the one that finishes with the cleanest uniforms?

 

[AmeriConn]

Dodgeball. Go Spartans! I gather that one is organized under the American Dodgeball Association of America.

This comes to mind.

@meyers7, I do believe that there’s also a cricket league that meets/plays in Kenny Park, in Hartford.

That field always gets flooded not sure if they still play there
They did replace a skate park in Manchester with a cricket field within the last 5 years
