Alcalá 1987

Havinga unique teamname isalmost as important as performance on the field. Names arederived from people (Uncle Wiggley's, Kern's) to food (Steamed Broccoli andPink Tacos) and beverages (Better BuyThe Case). Some teams have names to psyche out their opponents such as Better Termi­ nators, Crush Poltzand the Ballbangers. Some names were ingood fun like Just Fore Play and the Dream Team. Some lucky students were able to wear their intramural championship T- shirtsat the end of the season. Regard­ lessof winning, good times and friends are remembered long after the T-shirt has faded.

One ofthemorememorable aspects of lifeat theUniversityof San Diego is the intramural sports program. Students have the opportunity to participate in over 20 different leagues, tournaments and special events. From softball to midnight bowling there issomething for everyone. Intramural sports is more than just compet i t i on betweenweekend athletes. It is aprogram which promotes friendship andfun. The comraderie that develops on the playingfields goes on for years. Teams, such as the Poltz's, return year after year even after the original membersare gone. Memories of after-game partieslinger long after graduation.

Heads up,here it goes.

It is time for volleyball,sand,sun,and Bud.

I've got it, I've got it.
