Joe Flacco

By: Dominic Cipriano, Joe Flacco from University of Delaware is in Super Bowl 47. His road to the Super Bowl started against the Colts when they won and proceeded to the Broncos. Against the Broncos and Patriots, they were both upsets where the Ravens won. Therefore, they are now in the Super Bowl. He was drafted by the Ravens as the 18th overall pick and he has been playing with the Ravens ever since 2008. For the first time in his career he is at the Super Bowl in New Orleans. He has absolutely done U of D, the Ravens, and fans everywhere, proud.

Hottest Kicking it Catholic Shoes

WILMINGTON, DE – Catholic Schools Week officially started Monday but didn’t really “kick-off” until Thursday with “Kick it Catholic Day.” On “Kick it Catholic Day” students were allowed to wear whatever shoes they felt fit. And trust me when I say, we had some pretty fresh shoes. From Vibrams to freshly copped L.L.Beans/Nike transfusion shoe “Kick it Catholic Day” was a huge success.
This article includes the top 5 shoes that were worn that day ranked.

1. Bradford Poole’s rainbow colored Nike ID Free Run 3s were not a hard choice for the #1 shoe worn that day.

2. My powder blue Vibram KSOs were a close second in the contest. Being the only person wearing “toe-shoes” today I truly stuck out, in a good way I hope.

3. For the first time in school history Br. Joe was seen wearing shoes that weren’t black. News like this only breaks the press a few times a decade so Br. Joe’s classic white Dr. Scholl’s made our list for third coolest shoe of the day.

4. Ben Horgan gave us a tip to check out John Turley’s “sparkling” Lebron Xs. So we gave them a look and they are now placed #4 on our list.

5. Last, but very far from least were Dom Cipriano’s freshly copped L.L Bean/Nike Transfusion Shoes.

Sadly, nobody came in with the old-school LeBron 1s. If someone did, I would applaud them.

SEA Bunco Night

By: Matt Yoslov and David Bondi

BUNCO NIGHT 2013 JANUARY 26th!!! Be sure to come to the event. In case you don’t know the rules, here is how to play. Bunco is played in rounds usually in teams of 2. So each table has 2 teams of two at it.
The Head Table controls the starting and stopping of each round. When a team at the head table gets to 21 points or gets a “Bunco” play stops. Points are tallied and seats are changed. Here is how it works
Play begins. The first round is the “ones” round, the second round is the “twos” and so on. The first person at each table rolls the three dice, looking to roll 1 or more of whichever round they are on. (So if it is round one, you want to roll a one or if you roll 3 ones, you start jumping for joy and yelling BUNCO!)
The person rolling the dice at each table keeps rolling as long as at least one of the dice gets the number they are looking for. The rollers team mate puts a check mark next to each correct number rolled, giving a point. (So if you are on ‘ones’ you get 1 point every time you roll a one. You get 21 points for rolling 3 ones or “bunco”.)
Five points are awarded if three of the same number are rolled that are not the same number as the round you are on. (So if you get three “twos” but are playing round four, you get 5 points. You would have gotten 21 point if you were on round two…)
When the person rolling doesn’t get the number for the round being played, they pass the dice to the left and the next team gets to roll for points.
Play stops when a team at the Head Table reaches 21. The head table rings the bell to let everyone know to stop rolling. (and because it’s more polite and more fun than to just yell, “everyone stop!”)
Now each team at each table adds up their points and figures out which team has won and which has lost. Each member of the team marks their card with a “W” for a win or “L” for a loss. Keep track of your individual buncos as well. The “Print Your Own Bunco” score sheets are set up for four rounds of 1 through 6 with extra space for tally marks or adding more rounds if desired.

At the end of each round, the two winners from each table move up a table (towards the head table) and the losers stay put. New teams are formed (you don’t stay with the same partner from round to round) and now you have new people to chat and roll with.
At the end of the night, the Buncos, Wins & Losses are added up and the number recorded on the line next to your name. The hostess than takes all the score sheets and determines who wins the prizes. Prizes are often awarded for “Most Buncos”, “Most Wins” and “Most Losses” but again, it’s your party so your group can give out prizes for “Best Shoes” too if you want. Be sure to be there.
