11/10/06 BARFLY FOOTBALL DOMINATES Posted by: Will Taylor

The Barflies went undefeated for the second year in a row to win the IFC All-Fraternity Football Tournament.  This annual tradition keeps the fraternities socially active with each other through some competitive sport, with the football tournament happening on Veteran's Day each year, due to the university being closed.  The tradition saw well over 150 fraternity guys come out and about 30 sorority girls to cheer us on.  The Barflies also won last year's tournament.  Props to all the guys who played and we look forward to some more competitive play come spring for the IFC All-Fraternity Softball Tournament on Memorial Day
