Soccer Tournament Recap: Friday Night - The Check In

Upon being the third and fourth people to arrive at the meet and greet, Tommy and I were given wristbands for free drinks and told that teams from the northeast were stuck in airports and the first game was being pushed back from 8:30 to 11. We thanked them, grabbed a pool table and spent the night mingling amongst a sea of dudes.

Through our conversations we learned that schools like Wharton are 39% international with entering classes of 800. That's 1600 potential players, 624 of which are from countries that actually care about soccer.

In comparison, with incoming classes of 44, Baylor has only 88 potential players most of whom consider ping-pong their lone source of exercise. Our lack of numbers however, didn't stop us from kicking ass in pool and leaving when the tab closed.
