College; 2 Weeks of Spikeball in MI; Spikeball hits Miami Sept 13-14
Hey Folks,
Sunburn starting to fade a bit? Sick of “back to school” commercials? Labor Day getting too close? It’s not over the but the signs of the end of Summer are here. No need to fear weather wise, my gut is telling me we’ve got another month or two of good Spikeballin’ outdoors here in Chicago. Don’t question my gut- it’s corn fed, has plenty of room to graze, is antibiotic free and knows what its talkin’ ’bout.
Speaking of back to school I’ve been getting a lot of notes from college students telling me how much they’re playing on campus. Some Finance majors have told me they are rebalancing their Fall investment portfolios. What was 100% book money is now 49% book money, 51% Spikeball money. Yes, a bit controversial but it’s certain to give an amazing rate of return given these rough economic waters. Again, don’t question me, I took Econ 101.
Wake Forest, Ohio State, Marquette, Auburn, Cornell, Springfield College, etc they’re all getting games going. If you know of any students that would like to get a game going shoot me a note and I’ll see if we can hook ‘em up.
I just returned from about 2 weeks of Spikeballin’ in Michigan. Good stuff- we played in a small area called Epworth Heights and got to play with folks from Oregon, Virginia, Arkansas, Colorado, Arizona, New York, and yes, even Michigan.
(L to R) Springfield College grads Marc, Tricia, Emma, John, Tim, Analia, Brady Speaking of Springfield College (Massachussetts) take a look at this photo from a recent reunion. Springfield is hard core. They don't need boring speeches from 115 year old professors and campus tours showing off the new library...give 'em a few Spikeball sets and they're good.
Finally, we’ve got a small crew of people heading to Miami the weekend of Sept 13-14th to play. If you’re in the area or know of anyone that may want to play shoot me a note and we’ll get together.
Game on,
Chris
