... fallen! With great boom from the heavens, Steds crashed out of the last inter-hall Olympic game against Sorin. Gathering in the Flounge, the spirits of the Stedsmen were running high and a victory assured as the Hall's best players for the video game "Super Smash Bros." assembled. Steds players trained everyday, even taking on daily exercises to improve their hand eye coordination. When the games started, it looked very promising for Steds, but things slowed and then quickly went the other way taking the proverbial hard turn to the south. Suddenly, the Stedsmen found themselves swept by Sorin three games to zero. Still, there was controversy with this lost, and an official complaint has been lodged by Steds with the appropriate authorities. Apparently, Sorin did not play according to the official bracket, and after winning three games, their players immediately left the competition without their wins being certified. So, Sorin has not officially taken the title of "Oldest Hall" just yet, and even if they did, the numbers are on our side. Numbers don't lie... 1882 comes before 1888! On the apparent Super Smash Bros. loss, Matt Lupo, Steds senior and 2nd floor RA, said, "Can we get Brandon Ryan '18 to come back?"
