Where there's...

All smiles now, but once on the field...

... football, there's flag football. As the inter-hall football season starts, so does the inter-hall FLAG football season. This year's interest in America's second pastime is through the proverbial roof as Steds is fielding not one, not two, but three teams! It's brother against brother, gentleman against gentlemen, because all three Steds teams are vying for the coveted RecSports Championship. Suffice it to say, everyone is playing for keeps. Next week will have everyone as the Steds freshmen takes on one of the sophomore squad.  But last night all three Steds teams saw action at Ricci Fields with mixed results. Sadly, one of the sophomore teams, "The Stedsmen," had a tough go against Baumer Hall, eventually losing to the upstarts from West Quad. On the loss, John Gallagher, sophomore and resident Indianan, shared, "It was a dogfight, and we lost by a score of 18-13. Sad. The rain may have put a damper on the playing conditions, but not on our spirits!" 

BUT...

There were winners too. Steds Seniors, a team composed of Steds seniors and one junior, took on a team from the University's second oldest residence hall, Sorin, and came out with the "W". On defeating Sorin, Michael Mitchell, Steds junior and the junior member of team Steds Seniors , declared, "When Sorin took a 12-7 lead, I was just laughing. I thought it was funny. Sorin got excited, and it’s good. Sometimes you get your little brother excited when you’re playing basketball, and let him get the lead. Then you just come back and take it back." 

BUT THERE'S MORE...
