Underwater Hockey?

There is a photo gallery on Boston.com today which introduces readers [viewers?] to the sport of Underwater Hockey.

Underwater Hockey?! I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand I feel that the MIT kids that invented this game should be praised for their ingenuity and initiative... It's not everyday that a new athletic contest is created. Is there a Nobel Prize for Sport? On the other hand, I am concerned. Perhaps these young men and women should spend more time looking for dates. I could recommend several bars in the Cambridge area just filled with eligible students of equivalent brain power. As a last resort, there are a million online dating sites... MIT folk are into computers, right?

Either way, I think that Drunken Bleachers has stumbled upon a vast, untapped market here. Think of the myriad "Underwater Hockey" aficionados out there, LOOKING to purchase apparel which reflects their true passion... but alas, not a single company has stepped up. There are so many great phrases to choose from: "MIT Underwater Hockey: Oxygen is for the weak" or "Underwater hockey girls: We stay wet for hours" or maybe on the back of the T-shirt you list defensive strategies which include peeing in the pool. I mean, the MIT mascot is beaver! Have fun with that one.

Finally I would just like to issue Drunken Bleachers' first ever PSA: Please look at slide #10 in Boston.com's photo gallery. Holy Crap. People, please do not leave your baby sleeping in a stroller at the EDGE OF A POOL! What is that? Why is the baby even there? I doubt his parent is watching Underwater Hockey... I doubt you can see much as a spectator.

That is all.
