 Results of the "Souper Bowl" Rival the Game
Submitted by T.C. Knutson, Campus Corps Leader
Super Bowl XLVI ("46" if anyone was wondering) was a fantastic game of back and forth goal-to-goal, tundra thundering. It was a game of heroes battling it out down to the last few minutes; I don't know about you, but it gave me shivers!
"The Souper Bowl Food Drive," sponsored by The Learning Center, Campus Corps, and The EAT-IN Food Pantry, was no exception. On the last poster update Thursday, the Patriot fans were leading the Giants by 23.5 pound. On a miraculous fourth quarter Friday, the Giant fans were able to pull off a win by donating another 82.5 pounds of food compared to a Patriot drive of 48 pounds, giving the Giant fans a 143.5 - 132.5 lbs. victory over Patriot fans.
Even though Super Bowl XLVI and our own "Souper Bowl" contests were close and exciting, the real winner was our EAT-IN Food Pantry, raising 276 pounds of food. Thanks to everyone that participated. I know our fellow students appreciate the support. |
