RING THE BELL FOR DINNER


Dinner will be served for several people at the Women's Soccer game tomorrow night. As our Eagles take on William Carey in the first round of the NAIA National Championship and the Human Cannonball attempts to take flight, those who have been starving themselves in preparation for D-Day will be giving there bellies one final rub down before the halftime ceremonies commence.

D-Day. Dog Day. As in the 2nd Hot Dog eating contest we'll have had this semester. Early rumors are already swirling. Defending champion (not only in hot dog eating, but round house kicks as well) Marino may already be on the outs. Despite word getting to the champ hours ago, he may have a previous commitment to attend to. Dude, seriously, have someone else pick your girlfriend up at the airport. She'll understand. And if she doesn't, at least you got to eat 80 hot dogs in ten minutes.

Let's, for argument's sake, say that Marino is in. The question then becomes who are his main rivals. Orientation Leader and ERAU employee Shane Ryan has tossed his proverbial hat into the ring and was quoted earlier as saying, "I've been known to eat food." Great point Shane. I think that certainly makes you a contender.


Hopefully we'll even get a shout from competitive eating champs Joey Chestnut and Kobayashi. At least we know there faces will be in the crowd, as we'll have 100 of each pasted to a popsicle stick for those fans lucky enough to line the railing at the game.

The champion will once again be crowned at halftime of the game. Get there early, and make sure you have great seat. I can guarantee you this is going to be a war. Word is if Marino is man enough to actually show, he plans on stealing dogs off his competitors' plates.

Who's hungry?
