Mishawaka – Foot­ball Frenzy is al­ways an ex­cit­ing event on cam­pus. We place our bets on whether we think the North Side (Oak­wood and com­muters), or South Side (Manges and Founders) will take the win. Even if foot­ball is­n’t your fa­vorite, it’s still fun to watch your friends play and get some pop­corn or a drink from Trav­elin’ Tom’s Cof­fee Truck. I spoke with two play­ers from the North Side, Gideon Rosa and Chad Cooke, about how they felt about the game. They said, “Brant Li­est­man’s ren­di­tion of the Na­tional An­them in­spired all of us to play our best game pos­si­ble.” They said their team met at AC342 and got hyped up, but then walked in com­plete si­lence to the field. Touch­ing on the events of the game, they said, “That first mo­ment when Pey­ton picked off the first pass, got that in­ter­cep­tion, you just knew im­me­di­ately that we had the game in the bag…our de­fense re­ally stepped up. When the of­fense could­n’t make plays, the de­fense made great plays. I think every­one was a lit­tle bit con­cerned when Gramm, our of­fen­sive line­man, got in­jured, but we had some guys step up. They did ex­actly what they needed to do, and they pulled out the dub, 30-6.”  

We’ll just have to wait un­til next year to see if South Side will get their vengeance against North Side!
