This Super Bowl to be one for the record books MY VIEW Nick Ulferts Columnist
The annual Super Bowl isn’t just the most watched television program in the United States; it is likely the sporting event of the year. Luckily for casual and diehard NFL fans alike, XLVIII shouldn’t disappoint as it is already looking to be one for the ages. Future hall of famers and ris-
ing stars will clash, and a certain quarterback by the name of Peyton Manning will look to make one last statement on an already legendary career. To call this year’s Super Bowl must watch television would be an understatement. One would think tickets to such a spectacle would be near impossible to come by, and yet surprisingly this has not been the case. In fact, prices of these tickets have dropped near to that of the 2002 prices, which were largely affected by post 9/11 fears. While this may seem strange, a less than ideal weather forecast is no doubt the culprit behind the lackluster sales. In fact, this year’s Super Bowl could go down as the coldest ever, with a possibility of snowfall as well. And while this weekend’s historic
matchup will likely have an enormous viewing on television, apparently getting bundled up and seeing it in person isn’t all that enticing to those who can afford such tickets. Because of such a reaction, there have been many questioning whether or not future Super Bowls should be held in outdoor stadiums. While this idea is understandable, implementation of this would really be a shame. Some of the most historic and exciting games in NFL history have been played in some of the worst conditions. What football fan doesn’t secretly hope to watch a game played in a foot of snow? Such conditions often make for more exciting and unique games which become that much more memorable due to the weather. Every NFL fan still remembers games like the 1967 “Ice Bowl” which is considered to be a classic of the sport. Critics point to the effect the weather can have on a Super Bowl,

ber of indoor football stadiums within the NFL to host the Super Bowl in, some of the most historic stadiums are outdoors. To deprive these locations of hosting the most important game of the year would be a huge loss, not to mention at the expense of many of their local fans. The bottom line is football is a sport that is played in all kinds of extreme conditions. In many ways, the sport has been defined by these types of games. To make every Super Bowl played in an indoor arena would be incredibly unfortunate for all NFL fans. Because this could likely be the case in the future, fans should enjoy this Sunday’s matchup, which could very well be the last outdoor Super Bowl ever played.

not to mention the safety of the players. No one wants to see their favorite team lose because of players slipping on the snow-covered turf, or worse, perhaps having a serious injury because of it. However, players risk such injury every time they play and have to deal with bad weather throughout the entire season. Why should the Super Bowl be any different? If anything, a great player should be able to adapt to all kinds of weather. Regular season and playoff games are played in unfavorable conditions all the time. While the importance of these games is obviously less than the Super Bowl itself, each of those games still directly contributes to whether or not a team has a chance at playing in a Super Bowl. No one complains about the fairness of a team missing the playoffs because of a single loss in a snowstorm, so such an argument applying to the Super Bowl is ridiculous.

Super Bowl Sunday approaches, bars gear up Blo-No restaurants and bars prepare for the annual Super Bowl Sunday crowds Lindsey Clark Reporter With the Super Bowl XLVIII rapidly approaching, restaurants all over the country are preparing for what, for many, is one of their best business days of the year. For football fans that venture out on the town to watch the game, ideal venues provide them with lots of food and several large TV screens. Buffalo Wild Wings (BWW), best known for its beer and watching live sports, will be ready for customers on Sunday. The restaurant tends to remain full, Kathy Powell, assistant general manager of BWW in Bloomington, said. “The diehard fans get here hours before the game … We are definitely busy — people like coming here,” Powell said. With big-screen TVs, unlimited wings, and promotions and giveaways sponsored by BWW beer vendors, this place will likely be hard to find seating at after 5 p.m. on Sunday. The sports-themed restaurant typically starts preparation for game day by ordering more products — namely wings, both traditional and boneless. “We purchase way more than normal,” Powell said. “We’ve noticed an increase in sales each year, so we go based off the previous year’s sales and add a little

Many bars in the Bloomington-Normal area prepare far in advance for Super Bowl Sunday. Some places rearrange the layout of the tables to create more rooms for fans. more.” However, while the inside of the restaurant remains busy all throughout the game, the take-out gets even more business. For those who prefer to watch the game in the comforts of their
own homes, carryout is a popular option for the biggest Sunday in sports. With Super Bowl parties going on at customers’ homes, the takeout part of business sees even more revenue than dine-in does,
Powell said. BWW sells a large quantity of wings — more than any other item on the menu — on Super Bowl Sunday in dine-in and carryout. BWW also offers Super Bowl Sunday promotions to their guests
— the customers who call ahead with their orders can be promised those, Powell said. Denny’s is another spot which typically sees a lot of traffic during the Super Bowl. Preparation for Denny’s in Normal involves “extra product ordering, salad preparation and enough staffing,” Samantha Parker, restaurant manager at Denny’s, said. “It’s not one of our biggest, but it’s still a big day,” she said, and one that Denny’s has to anticipate for. Places in Uptown like Firehouse Pizza and Pub also attract sports fans. Firehouse, known for its free Wi-Fi and casual setting, provides game watchers with plenty of drinks, great pizza and TV screens right at the table. Take-out and delivery are also available. “We might staff a little extra on the kitchen and floor,” Alex Alvarez, Firehouse assistant manager, said. “[The Super Bowl] is kind of just like any other night [though].” With the Super Bowl looming ahead, restaurants take care to make sure their customers will be satisfied with their service. For those who plan to eat out or pick up food to take elsewhere, making reservations now or calling ahead is always a good option. Whether customers dine-in at a venue or order take-out, the restaurants in the BloomingtonNormal area are prepared.

Super Bowl snacks and recipes
Guac + Chips
Tex-mex styled foods are a big hit on game day and this dip is especially popular. Guac always goes fast so make plenty! Give yours a special twist by adding something unique, like sliced chile peppers, tomatillos, or even some diced mango or papaya.
2
Buffalo wings
Order in from B-dubs or make your own; whatever you do, make sure you have some ranch ready, especially if you like the spicy sauce.
3
Salad-on-a-stick
This may sound strange, but Food Network suggests making your vegetables more man-friendly by serving them on a skewer with blue cheese on the side. Well, that’s one way to force your carnivore friends to eat their greens. Another healthy alternative: Fruit or berry skewers.
4
Nachos/chips and dips
You can go almost any direction when it comes to dips. Bean, spinach, artichoke, salsa, queso, you name it. Include one sweet dip, like Nutella, to cater to both sweet and savory tastes.
5
Pigs in a blanket
This popular appetizer is easy to make. Just wrap mini hot dogs in crescent roll dough, bake, and dip in your favorite sauce.
Hype for Super Bowl commercials remains high adam weiss Staff Writer This Sunday a new champion will be crowned in the NFL. For advertisers and everybody else, will a commercial be crowned champion? No doubt you can expect some remarkable entertainment from this year’s Super Bowl ads, being that it is the most expensive 30 seconds on television. Thirty seconds of airtime costs an average of $4 million, plus the cost of producing the commercial. The pressure for brands to make their commercial stand out is higher than ever. Reaching 108 million viewers without offending them can be a challenge, said Tom Calkins, marketing professor at Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management. For companies participating in the big game, it is about “Can I win the Super Bowl before it begins?” Calkins said. Many advertisers like Bud Light, M&M and Toyota are using social media presence and dedicated websites to show teaser videos for the upcoming ads. In other words, they are building up anticipation by showing a commercial for a commercial, Calkins explained.
Teasers include Arnold Schwarzenegger gearing up to play Ping Pong and Don Cheadle standing next to a llama for Bud Light. The yellow M&M gets kidnapped and ex-NFL player Terry Crews meets the Muppets in his Toyota Highlander. Even though teasers seem to be the trend this year, many full ads are already up for viewing and you can expect to see more as we near Super Bowl Sunday. An important question: Is it worth the price? Mentioned in a recent Forbes article, past research has shown that viewers like commercials that are least effective at selling. Too many companies blow their opportunity by focusing on entertainment rather than making a selling point. Most ideas have been used in commercials in past years, such as the use of celebrities, cute dogs and babies. Rather than using a celebrity, telling a story or creating a funny idea, the key ingredient to a successful commercial is writing, said Michael Learmonth of Advertising Age in a recent interview with 3TV. Great writing will help recognize the brand the next day and months to come, said Learmonth. Learmonth described many recent memorable ads as “mini movies.”

Midwest Food Bank hits donation record Normal will
offer electric aggregation to residents
Jenna Zbinden Staff Writer
Local non-profit food distributor Midwest Food Bank hit record donations last year, but is still facing a high demand in McLean County.
Matt johnson Senior Staff
Donations of food were 29 percent higher than the previous year, with a calculated 11 million pounds of food provided by donation in 2013. Even with the donations coming in at a higher rate this year, the organization is still struggling to keep up with the demand. “We continue to grow each year and our need grows every year,” Midwest Food Bank Operations manager Mike Hoffman said. The non-profit is facing a higher demand from food pantries in need due to the government assistance decline and the federal cuts in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in the Farm Bill. “The government is cutting back and food pantries are relying on us because they aren’t getting enough funding,” Hoffman said. Midwest Food Bank (MFB) relies on private donations only with no government help. The donations are boxed up and driven to various organizations and food pantries. Hoffman said when the government cuts back on funding to these organizations, the demand for food increases and despite the record breaking donations, there is still a need. Despite the shortage, volunteers continue to package and distribute the food. “Our object is to continue to dis-

Midwest Food Bank has had a tremendous year, as they managed to donate 29 percent more food than the previous year. tribute to food pantries for no cost,” Hoffman said. The organization relies only on four paid employees. Hoffman said a great deal of work is done by much appreciated volunteers. Over 30,000 hours of work were recorded by volunteers in the last year, equivalent to the work hours of 15 full-time employees. “We can always use more volunteers, we are always working,” Hoffman said. While most of the food stays lo-
cal, MFB extended their efforts this year when it partnered with Salvation Army to reach out to the Central Illinois tornado relief and to the Philippines after the typhoon that devastated the island. Midwest Food Bank receives donations from food manufacturers, distributors, grocers, community and organizational food drives and from individual donors and donations of time from hundreds of volunteers. Bloomington’s branch began in 2003 when a family began to dis-
tribute food out of their barn and served 10 local food pantries in McLean County. The non-profit opened a location on Veteran’s Parkway in 2005 and now serves over 235 organizations in 39 counties in Illinois. Over 130,000 people receive $1.3 million worth of food from MFB each month. Other branches of Midwest Food Bank are located in Morton and Peoria, and Indiana and Georgia. Together they serve over 725 nonprofit organizations.
Normal has contracted with Homefield Energy to offer low electricity rates to all residents through locked-in aggregation. The current contract with Homefield Energy will run out sometime in July, and Normal has partnered again with Homefield for a new contract to offer 4.099 cents per kilowatt hour. Ameren is the electrical distributor for Normal and Homefield Energy supplies it to this region. Locked-in aggregation allows for the aggregation of electric load by municipalities and counties. This means a municipality or county can negotiate for the purchase of the combined electric supply of its residents and eligible small businesses, Sally Heffernan, assistant city manager for Normal, said. “Every other alternative energy supply I have seen they are 10 percent or higher than our aggregation rate and they are not locked into any life of a contract,” Heffernan said. If a person in Normal chooses to opt for the municipal aggregation, the price of 4.099 cents per kilowatt hour will remain fixed throughout the life of the contract with Homefield. Residents have the option of opting out of aggregation, see aggregation page 12

UPDATE: Autopsies for student deaths released In unrelated events, the ISU community suffered the loss of two young people this past weekend.
kellie flahert y News Editor Yusuf ‘Yoshi’ Ziada, 19, was found dead on the scene early Sunday morning by Bloomington Dispatch in a field, said McLean County Coroner Beth Kimmerling. Katie R. Borenstein, 20, was also pronounced dead in her apartment at 800 W. Hovey Ave. in Normal at about 6:15 p.m. on Saturday.
Ziada’s preliminary autopsy results showed he had signs and symptoms of cold exposure which led to his death. Kimmerling said he was not dressed appropriately for outdoor conditions as he was not wearing a coat, hat or gloves. “Early information suggests that Yoshi wandered away from The Chateau Hotel on Jumer Drive in Bloomington and then collapsed; he has no external injuries that led to his death,” she added.
Ziada was a current ISU student and Oak Lawn native who previously attended Oak Lawn Community High School. He last resided at Cardinal Court on ISU’s campus. A candlelight service was held on Monday night at the Delta Chi house on Willow Street to honor Ziada’s life. According to her preliminary autopsy results, Borenstein’s death was caused by a blood clot in her pulmonary artery. Kimmerling said her
death is not suspicious, and the final cause will be known after forensic toxicology and histology tests have been performed. Borenstein, originally from Buffalo Grove, was not enrolled at ISU at the time of her death. Bloomington and Normal Police Departments will continue to assist the McLean County Coroner’s Office with the investigation of both deaths.
Police to crack down on new cell phone law Jessica Smith Staff Writer
One month into the new laws on cell phone use, it seems that city police are being lenient on the enforcement. The law, put into practice on Jan. 1, banned the use of handheld devices while driving. Drivers caught breaking the law will be fined starting at $75. “You cannot use a handheld device while the vehicle is in motion,” Captain Nichol Bleichner of the ISU police department said. There are a few exceptions, however. People using hands-free headsets, such as Bluetooth earpieces, and pressing a single button to start or end a call will not be considered breaking the law.
So far, Bleichner said, the ISU Police Department has not issued any tickets for the new law. Most police officers in the area are being tolerant at the beginning of the law’s enforcement. According to the Bloomington Police Department, the issuing of citations up to this point has been at the individual officer’s discretion. However, the opportunity for a kind cop does not mean students should hope for the best and keep dialing while driving. State police will show no such mercy on lawbreakers because texting and driving has been proven to put both the driver and others on the road at risk. Distracted driving is reportedly the highest cause of accidents in the United States. Although lawmakers are targeting cell phone use, other activities considered to cause see law page 12

Alumnae Spotlight:
Former students California bound Kayla Stroner Reporter The theatre department at ISU provides many opportunities for students to produce their own work. Several students have the chance each year to write, direct and act in their own original shows. Recent graduates Hannah Brown and Ashlyn Hughes jumped on this opportunity during their final semester as acting students. Both Brown and Hughes were looking to make their last few months at ISU memorable. Friends since freshman year, they decided to team up and write something of their own, in order to commemorate where they were in their lives as they wrapped up their college careers. The two decided it was important that they set the show in Maggie Miley’s, a well-known pub in Uptown where they were noted regulars. They focused the comedy’s content on the story of their friendship, which has become, according to Hughes, something that both girls know they can always fall back on. Along the way, according to Brown, they “started to drop in monologues based on things that happened to [them] during [their] final semester.” These monologues touch upon the feelings that the girls had for certain beers, pizzas and, of course, men. As a result, Hughes and Brown’s show, entitled “BEST!SHOW!EVER!” was written and

iO in Chicago after I graduated,” Hughes said. “And last October, I saw a link online to apply for the festival. They were looking for guest performers and asking specifically for sketch groups. I kind of had a gut feeling about it, and Hannah and I sat down and prepared the application.” The two are thrilled to have their work accepted. “Ultimately,” Hughes said, “I am so grateful to ISU for giving us the chance to put up our work.” “This process has reminded me what an incredible outlet creativity can be,” Brown added. “And it has made me realize that you really should dream big.” To check out what these former Redbirds are up to and see how the show went in LA, look them up online through the name of their sketch group, BABYCHILD. Currently, Hughes and Brown can be found on Twitter, and soon, according to Hughes, she and Brown hope to start a web series as well as rent a space in which to perform their sketches in downtown Chicago.

Recently, the two were accepted into the Second Annual Written Comedy Festival at iO West, which will take place on Friday,

Business fraternities encourage professionalism Kelsey Stiegman Reporter As a new semester begins, Greek life becomes more prominent than ever. Recruitment starts, and before you know it, Rush Week has begun and you’re faced with a decision: Which organization do I pick? If you’re a student looking to build yourself up for future employers, you may want to consider joining a professional fraternity. The co-ed business fraternities at Illinois State will provide students with the connections, leadership skills and professional practice essential for job hunting in the real world. Delta Sigma Pi, the first professional business fraternity on ISU’s campus, is dedicated to assisting its members in the pursuit of their professional careers and the betterment of their brothers. Brothers of Delta Simga Pi, both male and female, learn through the help of their fellows how to be dependable leaders for the business world. Matt Obergfell, senior marketing and small business management major and president of Delta Sigma Pi, says that members of business fraternities gain more than the knowledge of how to conduct themselves with highest level of professionalism. They also find a home here on ISU’s campus, and brothers that they can depend on to push them to excellency. “We have a unique brotherhood. Just like a real family, you may not always get along, but you always want what’s best for each other. We push for professional excellence and I believe we achieve that,” Obergfell said. “There is not a question in my mind that if any of our brothers had dinner with CEOs, presidents or a grocery store cashier, they would conduct themselves in a manner that would reflect well on Delta Sigma Pi.” Delta Sigma Pi is very exclusive when it comes to major. To rush, one must be a business or economics major with a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher. Pi Sigma Epsilon (PSE), another professional business fraternity, also requires its members to hold a 2.5 GPA, and Alpha Kappa Psi, a 2.8. Pi Sigma Epsilon is open to all majors and

Business fraternities across campus are looking for new recruits to enhance their reputation as professionals in the community. focuses on marketing, sales, and management. They believe that it is important to give students of all majors the opportunity to apply classroom-learned skills to real life situations and offer them chances to practice leadership. “Within PSE we have many opportunities for our members to gain a leadership position. This allows for the non-business majors to learn business skills to help them grow professionally and expand their knowledge,” Grace Edwards, a senior political science major and president of Pi Sigma Epsilon, said. Alpha Kappa Psi is another business fra-
ternity that teaches professional skills to students of any major, as well as providing many opportunities for bettering the community such as Adopt-A-Street, Habitat for Humanity, and Red Cross blood drives. Gus Coon, junior accounting and finance major and president of Alpha Kappa Psi, thinks that all students should consider joining a professional business fraternity, even if they aren’t majoring in business. “No matter what field you enter into you will have to go through an interview process, but it doesn’t stop there,” Coon said. “Once you land your job, you have to work on being an effective member of your orga-
nization. Alpha Kappa Psi and other business fraternities give you the experience to not just be a member of the organization, but how to get noticed and be an integral key to that organization’s success.” There are many professional business organizations to choose from, besides the three mentioned. For those curious about building a professional future, all questions will be answered at their Rush week events. More information, such as dates and times, can be found on the fraternities’ respective Facebook pages.

Illinois State struggled to keep up with the Bradley Braves (BU) in Wednesday night’s contest, ultimately falling to BU, 64-45 at Carver Arena in Peoria. Leading the Redbirds offensively were Paris Lee and Daishon Knight with eight points-a-piece, followed closely by Nick Zeisloft, Reggie Lynch and Tony Wills, each scoring seven points. Bobby Hunter headed the Redbird defense with a career high of eight rebounds. Illinois State maintained a steady scoring percentage, hovering at 32.7 percent for the game. The first on the board was Illinois State thanks to a dunk by Lynch with a Zeisloft assist, followed closely by a three pointer by Lee, all within the first three minutes of game time. The Redbirds outscored the Braves 11-3, six of those points from Lynch, within the first nine minutes. ISU’s lead was stolen when the Braves went on a 10-0 run, taking their first lead 13-11 at the 10:39 mark. A shot beyond-the-arc by Zeisloft helped the Redbirds to regain their lead, until a 7-2 run by the Braves gave them back the 25-20 lead with 27 seconds remaining in the first half. Hunter grabbed a rebound and scored at the buzzer to close the gap to 25-22 heading into the locker room. It was a game of unfortunate injuries for the Redbirds with a Lynch nose injury and a knee injury to Zach Lofton, rendering him inactive for the second half. “When Reggie got hurt I think it took the wind out
of our sails a little bit, we dropped our heads a little bit. They went on a run and we didn’t respond very well,” head coach Dan Muller said. The Redbirds started the second half strong with a three-pointer from Lee to tie the game at 25. Lee’s shot sparked an ISU 10-2 run, pushing the ’Birds to a 3227 lead. Bradley responded by outscoring ISU, 21-3 for a 46-35 lead. Bradley’s Walt Lemon, Jr., who led all scorers during the contest, made his first of 20 buckets with 9:36 left in the game, scoring nine during the Braves’ run. A three-pointer by Zeisloft pulled the Redbirds within 59-45, but Bradley refused to give up its double-digit lead and held the Redbirds off until the end of the contest, defeating them 64-45.

Study Abroad to help students with their travel decisions Vanessa Nagel Reporter Imagine spending your semester gazing at the Eiffel Tower’s twinkling lights, hiking the Great Wall of China or touring the Gaza pyramids on camelback. Studying abroad can help make your visions a reality. From 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Friday, the Office of International Studies and Programs will host the Study Abroad First Steps Session in Schroeder Hall. The session will include information on study abroad program options, financing, academics and how to apply. Whether students are planning to participate in a semester or summer program abroad, gathering detailed information is crucial prior to applying. “The study abroad office helped me a lot before I left for Korea. During the meeting they went over in detail what to expect while you’re abroad. They included everything from what to pack to what classes you’ll be taking,” junior Kelly Conrad said. Study abroad programs provide students with exposure to international cultures, foreign languages and specialized academic outreach activities. Students may take courses for ISU credit and, in many cases, still graduate within four years. Some programs may cost less than a semester spent at ISU. Between ISU and affiliated programs, the study abroad office
offers over 1,000 available adventures. The First Steps Session will prepare students for choosing appropriate programs and how to make the most of their abroad experience. “I would tell students going abroad to be as open minded as possible. Everything will seem re-

When it comes to sports, safety is always going to be a concern. No matter what sport it is, injury is definitely a possibility. Major League Baseball (MLB) knows about the potential hazards a pitcher can face when on the mound, so they made the approval of a protective hat for pitchers to wear. The MLB approved the hat in hopes to decrease the damage that line drives to the head can deliver. The hat was introduced on Tuesday and will be available for testing during spring training. It’s a heavier and bigger hat, and will be worn on a voluntary basis. “We’re excited to have a product that meets our safety criteria,” Dan Halem, MLB executive vice president for labor relations, told ESPN’s “Outside the Lines.” “MLB is committed to working with manufacturers to develop products that offer maximum protection to our players, and we’re not stopping at all.” In order for the hat to be approved it had to provide protection at 83 miles per hour. An MLB-commissioned study concluded that 83 miles per hour was the average speed of a line drive when it reaches the area of a pitching mound.
It seems like a no brainer to me; why not wear the hat? If I were standing at the mound as professional baseball players smashed the ball toward me, I’d be suited up in full catchers gear. I guess I have to take into consideration if the hat feels comfortable on pitchers’ heads and whether they’re thrown off by having something larger on top of their head as they play. Someone that has already taken that into account is Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Brandon McCarthy. Although McCarthy was sent into emergency brain surgery after a line drive struck him in the head in 2012, he has already said that he will not be wearing one. He doesn’t believe the hat is “major league-ready.” His opinion was that the hat is too big, too hot and it just doesn’t feel right. “The technology is there,” he told ESPN.com. “It helps. It’s proven to help. But I don’t think it’s ready yet as a major league-ready product. And I told them that. I told them that’s where it’s at.” 4Licensing Corporation subsidiary isoBlox is the company who created the new hat. isoBlox says that the caps are slightly more than a half-inch thicker in the front and an inch thicker on the sides, than the standard baseball cap. They say the cap stands frontal protection against line drives up
to 90 mph and for the side impact locations up to 85 mph. The cap is also custom fitting. So what’s this stuff made out of that can protect pitchers’ from line drives to the head? isoBlox says the soft padding is made up of “plastic injection molded polymers combined with a foam substrate.” The padding was designed to diffuse energy upon impact through dispersion and absorption techniques. “What we’ve given [pitchers] is a product with protection they’ve never had before,” 4Licensing chief executive officer Bruce Foster said. “It changes the game for them.” What also changes the game is the way the pitchers look in the hats. It really shouldn’t be about how cool they look, but it’s definitely something pitchers are going to be thinking about. The LA Dodgers Clayton Kershaw told the MLB network that, “You don’t look very cool, I’ll be honest.” The reason one would wear it is to protect their heads, not to look stylish or cool. Safety should be one’s top priority. When baseball season rolls around I’d like to count how many pitchers are wearing them. Follow the games on Twitter. @Vidette_Sports

And speaking of the Legion of Boom, they grabbed a combined 17 interceptions this season; the team as a whole had 28 — unsurprisingly the most in the league. Manning will put a couple in their hands Sunday night. Wilson, though he is young and lacks the résumé of Peyton Manning, is an astounding 27-9 in his 36 NFL starts. No doubt, Manning (178-84)

is a force to be reckoned with. He has never missed a game in his 15 years at the wheel. But he stumbles in the postseason, and the trends run against him. The last three times a Super Bowl first-timer took on a veteran, the rookie prevailed each and every time. The Denver secondary is one of the worst in the NFL, and if Wilson can expose this alongside the sure thing from Lynch, the Seahawks win will be a no-brainer. The last time that the number one offense faced off against the number
one defense in the Super Bowl was in 2003, when the number-one defense Buccaneers took on the number-one offense Raiders. Just like today, the number-one offense was favored. Nonetheless, the number-one defense prevailed as Tampa Bay topped Oakland 41-28. I see history repeating itself here. Big turnovers and shutdown defense, coupled with a dominant rushing game and penetration in the vulnerable defense. Yep, Seattle has this game all the way.

they really been? The best quarterbacks they faced this season are as follows: Cam Newton, Colin Kaepernick (three times), Andrew Luck, Matt Ryan, Drew Brees (twice at home) and Eli Manning. Not a bad list, but consider the conditions. Matt Ryan and the Falcons were 4-12. Brees’ Saints play terribly on the road. Eli Manning had his worst year as a pro. And Newton’s numbers were down while his team’s success went up. We also cannot ignore the fact that Manning and the Broncos have
two weeks to prepare for this game. Also, Manning attempted 659 passes this season, over 40 per game, and he was sacked only 18 times. That’s an average of 2.7 sacks per 100 drop backs. That’s incredible considering everyone knew they were going to throw it that much. The Seahawks’ so called “Legion of Boom” secondary will have their hands full with all of these receivers. Call me crazy, but offense may be the new defense and “win championships.” I’ve got my money on the Broncos in this one in a game that’ll look worse than the score indicates: Broncos 30, Seahawks 21.
KINSEY REPORT Although some women and men fantasize about bukkake, which is the practice of several men ejaculating on a woman, you are wise to consider the risks involved in any sex act before you go about engaging in it. There would be few risks involved in a man ejaculating on an area of a person’s body that was covered with skin — the stomach or back, for example. I say “few risks” rather than “no risks” because if a person had a cut on his or her skin and then someone who carried a sexually transmissible infection, or STI, in their semen ejaculated there, then
the infection — depending on what it was — could possibly pass to the other person. This is one way that HIV could theoretically be passed, if infected sexual fluids were passed through an open cut or lesion. If any one of the 4 men got semen in your wife’s eyes or in her mouth, then they could possibly transmit an STI, including HIV, to her. Even if the 4 or more men tried to aim their ejaculation to a skincovered area, the fact is that men sometimes mis-direct their aim. They may accidentally ejaculate in or near her eyes, which at the least could cause irritation or pain and,
at most, could potentially result in STI transmission. Some couples find that there are some fantasies that, as appealing as they may be, they are more comfortable with keeping in their fantasy world rather than making into a reality. Others try to transform fantasy into reality, and find that it helps to be creative about making their fantasy happen safely. If you and your wife want to engage in this behavior, you may want to find men who you trust to get tested for infections, including HIV, before you are all sexual together. Or you two may decide that
having them ejaculate on another body part, such as her stomach or breasts, is just as exciting as on her face, but safer (assuming she has no cuts or lesions on these parts). Whatever you decide together, make sure to communicate with each other about your concerns for comfort, safety and what feels good in your relationship. To learn more about STIs, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website (cdc.gov). For questions about your or her personal health and STI risk or testing, check in with your healthcare provider.

With the year’s biggest sporting event just a few short days away, the blogosphere is buzzing with opinions of whether the Seattle Seahawks or the Denver Broncos will be the next world champions of the gridiron. As of this writing, there stands just a two-point spread between the league’s number-one defense and number-one offense, exemplifying the fact that not even the best of the best are confident in their bets of who will come out on top. For what it’s worth, my money is on the Seahawks. Temperatures at MetLife stadium, home of Super Bowl XLVIII, will be bitter-at-best, with a predicted high of 39 degrees — the coldest in Super Bowl history. The centerpiece of this Broncos team, Peyton Manning, has losing records across the board in these conditions, going 11-12 overall in temperatures under 40 degrees. And when it’s that cold in the postseason, Manning is 0-4. On the other hand, the clear leader of the Seahawks’ offensive squad, running back Marshawn Lynch, has excelled at any temperature. Starting his career in Buffalo, Lynch produced over 1000 rushing yards in each of those two seasons; five of his six best games as a Bill were in temperatures below 40. As for Seahawks QB Russell Wilson by the way, his only under-40-game was a victory at MetLife stadium. Seattle is clearly the team better equipped to play in the stinging cold. Of course, the cold weather alone cannot shutdown Manning or his offensive weapons. But “I’m the Best Corner in the Game” Richard Sherman and the Seahawks’ powerhouse defense will do that just fine. Not a single other defensive unit in the league gave up less yards (4,378) or fewer points (231) than these 11 guys this season. Seattle allowed an average of just 14.4 points per game, compared to a league-average of 23.4. This star-studded defense and its infamous “Legion of Boom” (Sherman, Earl Thomas, and Kam Chancellor) top nearly every

For this year’s Super Bowl I will be rooting Blue and Green, the Seattle Seahawks of course. I do believe Peyton Manning is an amazing quarterback, but I think if the Seahawks’ defense is on point they are going to get those big shiny rings. With all the hype surrounding Richard Sherman lately, I have no doubt that he’s going to give 110 percent effort in this game. The Broncos have a strong offense, but in my opinion, offense wins games and defense wins championships. GO SEAHAWKS!
Brandon Hillary Staff Writer
I am going with the Denver Broncos in this year’s Super Bowl because I believe that Peyton Manning has the ability to manipulate the offense and put up points on Seattle’s incredibly tough defense. He has been toying with NFL defenses all year, breaking passing records previously held by Tom Brady. But Manning’s best season of his career cannot only be credited to his arm and brain; his receiving core is stacked. I expect the Seahawks’ defense to play a lot of man coverage as usual, with Richard Sherman locking down whoever Pete Carroll feels is the biggest threat, but the receiving talent in the likes of Thomas, Welker, and Decker, paired with Manning’s impeccable vision for the field, will be too much for the Seahawks “D.” Sports fans everywhere should appreciate the story that Manning is writing for himself. He is 37 years old putting up video game numbers in what is becoming a very youth dominated league. I’ve got Denver winning 30-20.

Super Bowl XLVIII will make NFL history after it marks the first time ever a quarterback leads two separate teams to a Super Bowl Championship. I’ve got Peyton Manning leading Denver to a 31-24 victory over the Seahawks. Manning is not only one of, if not the best Tawni Ricketts quarterbacks of all time, but what he has that Russell Wilson does not is experience Sports Editor — something that allows Manning to understand and process just about every defense Seattle might throw at him. Some say the best offense is a good defense, but in the case of Manning and the Broncos the numbers tell a different tale: 55 touchdown passes, 5,477 passing yards and 606 cumulative points on the season. As if that’s not enough, the Broncos now have their No. 1 fan rooting for them from the heavens. Daniel, this one’s for you. Go Broncos!
Looking mainly at offense versus defense, my prediction for the Super Bowl winner is the Broncos. With Peyton Manning throwing for the most touchdown passes and yards in a season and his veteran status, he will be a key player in the Bronco’s offense. Ryann Hoffenberg While the Seahawks may have the Sports Editor best defense in the league, their offense has not shown up in the playoffs. Also, having a Quarterback that is relatively inexperienced may become a burden.
Todd Marver Senior Staff
Broncos over Seahawks. Denver has more Super Bowl and playoff experience on its team and that should pay big dividends in dealing with all the hoopla surrounding the event in the week leading up to the Super Bowl. Peyton Manning will have a field day on Seattle’s defense. Richard Sherman won’t have as much reason to trash talk this time after the game coming off of a loss. Graphics and stats courtesy of MCT-Campus
The Broncos put all their eggs into Peyton Manning’s basket in March 2012, days before the man turned 36 years old. The risk paid off handsomely, as the team has been rewarded with two MVP-caliber seasons from Manning. Things seemingly climaxed for the Broncos twice this season. Manning broke the single-season passing touchdown record with one game to pad his total, and again when Manning slayed the dragon that was Bill Belichick’s New England Patriots in the AFC title game. This will be the first Super Bowl in which the top offense (Broncos) and the top defense (Seahawks) will play for the Lombardi Trophy. A lot of attention has been given to the Seahawk’s Richard Sherman ever since his post-game rant left people disgusted by his cockiness or loving his bravado. Honestly, I could care less about it. Some players like to talk trash; that’s no crime, as everybody usually wants them to talk, for good or bad reasons. But how can anyone in their right mind bet against this Bronco offense? This isn’t Manning’s 2004 season, in which he had to make third-option Brandon Stokley a thousand-yard receiver. This is an offense that has four top options at receiver. Welker has caught the most passes of anyone since 2007. Demaryius would be a top option anywhere as well, as would tight end Julius Thomas. Eric Decker is certainly no slouch either. The Broncos are the first team to ever record a score of 600 points in a single season. They were never held to under 20 points. They’ve also had five players who’ve scored 10 or more touchdowns this season. All those aforementioned receivers and running back Knowshon Moreno all found the end zone on a regular basis. The Seahawks’ defense has been very good, holding opponents to a league low 2,752 passing yards. They know how to frustrate the receivers. But how impressive have
