At a hastily prepared press conference, Thomas Evason ’03 and Dean “Mako” Sharpe ’03, announced that they intend to start a professional Ultimate Frisbee league upon graduation. The press conference, held outside Slaimen Hall, was attended by many members of the Slaimen UFOs, the frontrunners in the Craven University Ultimate Frisbee League, as well as some of their girlfriends, and me.
Having just come from a win in their latest game against arch-rival Slytherin, Evason and Sharpe outlined their plans. “We’ve been talking about this since sophomore year,” said Evason. “It comes up after every game. We’re always like, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if there was a pro league’. So we finally decided to just do it. We did a lot of research around campus and there’s almost universal support for it. People are like, ‘Yeah, that would be cool’ and stuff. We’re sure we could hook up with other teams around the country or at least the Bi-county area.”
Sharpe added, “We’ll finish the fall season soon and then spend the winter designing our website and t-shirts for the spring. Next summer we’ll start calling other schools and we should be playing by September. Or at least that’s our plan. This game is awesome and we’re gonna show the world that an Ultimate player is just as good an athlete as a basketball or football player. We know it’s gonna take a year or two before we get on ESPN or something, but it’s gonna be huge!”
The crowd cheered loudly at this point, prompting onlookers to join the festivities. The press conference ended soon after when the beer was gone.
