Gosh, what I remember about sports at Grinnell - very laid back for the most part. Even the competitive teams were really open to the walk ons and they always seemed to get playing time that wasn’t just mop up. The intramural scene was hilarious. The basketball was very serious with recruiting for teams going on the first day on campus and bribes of different sorts being passed back and forth. The flag football was very Kubrickian with a lot of bizarre gamesmanship and even more bizarre plays. The softball was sort of a fog - did we actually play softball. And the ultimate frisbee was a post modern morality play in which those who were always picked last in other sports became kings. Sports at Grinnell was a trip.
