"OOZEBALL" MUD VOLLEYBALL TOURNEY BREAKS TENSION OF FALL CLASSES
WHAT:
Twelve co-ed teams of University of Illinois at Chicago students will slip and slide more than set and spike as they compete in a mud volleyball tournament for cash and prizes. The Chicago skyline forms a dramatic - but wholly unnecessary - backdrop.
WHEN:
Sept. 5
10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
WHERE:
Harrison Field
Halsted and Harrison streets
DETAILS:
Now in its 12th year and a true fall classic, Oozeball is played in a pit of wet, gushy mud. It's hard to tell the winners from the losers - all have mud in the hair, mud on the face ... mud everywhere.
Oozeball is sponsored by the UIC Student Alumni League, the University of Illinois Alumni Association and UPS.
