[FIRST MATCH FRIDAY V. BELMONT] Lipscomb Ultimate: Story behind mystery team

by | Sep 20, 2010 | Sports

For most Lipscomb students, playing Ultimate Frisbee is only a hobby. But for a small group of students it is a full-blown sport. Jordan Bates, a Senior marketing major from Nashville, got the idea to start the Ultimate team in 2009 after watching some other people play. “I just saw a lot of people playing Ultimate in intramurals, and I thought that a lot of people had the potential to be really good,” Bates said. “We’ve grown and gotten a lot better since that point.” After the idea of the team came together, the next step was actually to turn that idea into action. The suggestion of an Ultimate Frisbee team was presented to SGA in order to get the appropriate funds for jerseys and tournament entry fees. “I think it was good exposure for the school, and it gets more people involved with extra curricular activities on campus,” Bates said. “They have been kind enough thus far to give us really good funding to enter tournaments.” The Ultimate circuit is not defined in conferences like the rest of the sports at Lipscomb. Instead, the region divisions are called “sections.” Lipscomb is in the Alabama section along with teams like Auburn, Alabama, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt and several other large schools. “It’s a pretty big deal in college,” Bates said. “Most schools have a team, if not two.” Don’t think that just because Lipscomb is competing against larger schools that they cannot contend. Last season the Bisons came in seventh out of 20 teams in their sectional tournament. “It feels great knowing that we are lining up with big SEC...
Remembering 9/11: Where were you when the towers fell?

Remembering 9/11: Where were you when the towers fell?

Sept. 11, 2001, is a date most will never forget. We remember the sight of the first tower falling, followed shortly thereafter by the second.  We remember people crossing the Brooklyn Bridge by the hundreds. We remember firefighters, police officers and port authority officers showing a great amount of bravery as they went upstairs into the World Trade Center building while civilians ran downstairs. We remember seeing faces covered with dust and tears. One thing is almost guaranteed — those images are ingrained into our minds, never to leave. Saturday marked the ninth anniversary of those terrorist attacks on our country. Thousands of innocent lives were lost that day, and millions more were forever changed. But how did your peers react to the attacks that day, and in the days after? It’s hard to imagine that most of the students at Lipscomb have lived half of their lives in a post 9/11 world. Whether we were in class, at home or in the car, we all have a story to tell about that day. They are all unique in their own right. These students were asked what they remembered about where they were and how they found out about the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. These are their responses. Raleigh McCool, a senior English major from Nashville — “I was in ninth grade at my high school and I remember walking out into the hallway, and there was a girl beside me and she said, ‘There was a bomb in an airplane and it had blown up in a building.’ I had no idea what she was talking about....
