Dean’s Cup Exercise Tips
Thursday February 5th
Bowling: Bird Bowl
6:00-9:00pm – Men’s Team of 5, Women’s Team of 5
A split for the Law School in our first event. Both teams brought out a good cheer section, however, the Men won and the Women came up just short. Women's details: The women's team had a slow start, but with a little warm up they entered into the strike and spare zone. Unfortunately, it was a little too late for them to pick up the win they needed in game two to send it into game three. Melissa Rakin was the MVP for both games with Brooke Padgett helping to bring it the first game and Kelly Childers, the captain, in the second game. Most importantly fun was had by all and everyone got pumped up for all the events to come!! (Men's details are coming tomorrow)

2) MEN'S BOWLING - Last night, the Law School Men's bowling team had a legacy to preserve, last years beat down of the med school was the first shot across the bow in the 2008 stomping. In game one, the med school team jumped out to a commanding lead, but "acting captain" Randall Appleton put the team on his back as he finished the game with 5 straight strikes to help seal the deal. In the 2nd game the Law School team jumped out to a commanding lead of their own and hung on thanks to a 199 by MVP David Palmacci, making the 2L core of the men's team 2-0. The Med School was stunned after this performance, however, we were able to catch a post game interview with one of the players: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txqiwrbYGrs

SATURDAY (2/7) RECAP:
COMMUNITY SERVICE:
Team Law went to Overtown Youth Center and tutored elementary through high school kids on their reading, math, & FCAT prep. Each tutor was paired with a student (picture the movie Role Models). The students ABSOLUTELY loved it. Unfortunately, the med schoolers brought more people to the table. It was a rewarding experience for everyone, and after the event Ian Kirtman was quoted as saying: "[t]he community service event was the coolest thing ever, I really really want to go back and do it again. Those kids were SUPER COOL, I wanted to take them home with me." ....someone later informed Ian he was no longer allowed to tutor students at the youth center. Those attending the event included: Daniela Gordon, Allison Janowitz, Sara Neugroschel, Halley Peters, Renee, Rob Collins, Ron Rhode, Audra Thomas, Claire Zovko, and a few others.
SAND VOLLEYBALL:
Men dominated bringing home an easy win here ... btw Med guys were spotted chest bumping with there shirts off ala Hasselhoff.....uhhh wat? Notable athletes included: Miguel "super setter" De La Rosa - & Joe Discepola - major hustler..the kid was all over the place and just Killed the med schoolers (Game 1) Won 21-14. Sharif "spiker" Hannan & Miguel (Game 2) Won 22-20. Claire Zovko, 3L, & Allison Flowers, 2L, got dirty in the sand for the women, and after a slow start and getting used to the strange terrain, CZ and AF came back and dominated the med girls in game two, 21-7. It came down to the wire in game three, fueled by 5 consecutive, incredible (thats one of those shots thats gonna embarass everyone in your opponents family type) serves by AF. The med school squeaked out the win by 2 points in a nail biter.
BILLIARDS:
Under the leader ship of Captain Lauren Medoff,
-Chris "Hot Shot" Flannigan, 1L - won easily and is a super good pool player....borderline ridiculous.
-Bob Zavistoski, 1L - won
-Marcus Spagnoletti, 2L - won
-Chris "he's a grown man" Malek - won
Unfortunately Team Law lost doubles & coed ..also weird...med schoolers had this girl that was a legit pool shark and was dominating all the games....that's something she probably shouldn't tell anyone.
DARTS:
In the women's games, Melissa Rakin & Sara Kannensohn won. Sarah Therrion & Kim Parrot won. Laaaaawd have mercy! The ladies DOMINATED. EASILY. The Men and Coeds did not have the same success: Andrew Langenbach & Tim lost, Mike Marshall & partner lost. In co-ed, Emily Goodman & Mike Marshall lost in a HIGHLY spirited match. A med schooler was quoted during a match as saying "Gosh, I just can't hit the target…I want to go home [and play World of War Craft]"

Sunday Fun Day turned out to be an action-packed day of impressive Team Law performances. The new Dean's Cup events turned out to be a lot of fun, and everyone involved was glad to have the new additions. Lets get to the recap:
5K
Jason Young won easily with an insanely fast time of 16:10, coming in thirty seconds faster than any med schooler. Other outstanding performances were put in by Brian Kelley, Doug Baier, Rob Collins, Michelle Daly, Danielle Knecht, Katherine Reilly, Lauren Medoff, and Liz Edwards.
GOLF
Our golf foursome came up a few strokes short at the Miami Links golf course...the Rules have since been changed and next year the Med school men will not be allowed to hit from the ladies tee.
HOT DOG EATING CONTEST:
In women's action, Emily "Kobayashi" Goodman dominated the Med school girls with 8 hot dogs, along side Jessica Layne Higgins and Lily Zheng who also participated in the contest. In the men's contest, Rob Collins and Jason Hutzler both downed 8 hot dogs with Andrew Langenbach finishing 7, but the med took the crown with 11 dogs. Needless to say, it was an impressive effort by all competitors!
SOFTBALL
The women came out strong and were fearlessly led by Ace pitcher Lisa Atkins and catcher Alison Flowers. Despite, their sixth inning comeback and some clutch power hitting from Bridget Fields and Daniela Gordon, the ladies lost 5-7. Many thanks to Christine C., Angela Fiorentino, Sara Neugroschel, Allison Janowitz, Allison Freidin, for rounding out the line up. The Co-ed matchup saw Adam "Golden Glove" Goldman and Joe "The Show" DeFlorio dominating the infield while Jared "House" was taking batting practice on the Med schoolers, driving in runs with ease. The co-ed squad pulled off the 5-4 win. The Men's matchup was a VERY heated battle but eventually Team Law pulled out a 2-1 win in the bottom of the last inning. 1L Brandon "Big Papi" Shore came in as a late game substitute but was timely with his bruising hit, giving him a walk-off double to end the game. The law school's defense was straight nasty, rarely letting the ball hit the ground with (captain) Matt Chamoff, Matt Givens, John Theobald, Patrick Hoffman, Raul Tano, Peter Silva, John Fischer, Robert Kirksey and Josh Roberts holding it down. However, Matt Comiter's ability to retrieve the bat and hand it to the next batter was phenomenal and really gave our team the extra edge we needed...(Matt played football in college and we were actually able to dig up some old footage! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ7ZpLgkVxA&feature=related
POKER
Law swept the poker tables in the student lounge, sending the med kids packing one by one. Unfortunately, they couldn't go home since all the chips and cards belonged to them. Team Law forced them to wait all night until the final showdown at 11pm when it came down to two "ALL IN" hands. The med guy finally submitted and threw up the surrender flag. Abbigail "Money Maker" Webb turned in an amazing performance stunning and confusing all the male competitors as she seemed to have the largest chip stacks all night long. At the final table representing Team Law was Evan Brown, Rob Weaver, Alex Brandler, and Claire Zovko. We managed to pick up some random med schooler comments - "I have NEVER seen a straight flush before" and one was even overheard wispering to his team mate "It would be easier to take her out (to dinner) then to take her chips"...(no it wouldn't).
CHESS
Law split the 4 chess matches with big time wins by Rugh Cline and Claire Zovko. The med school is still confused how they didn't pull off the sweep there so they grabbed their Bobby Fisher Chess 101 handbooks and went back to the library.
DOMINOES
One of the dominoes matches lasted hours and went down to the wire. Miguel De La Rosa and partner almost pulled it off in the battle.
Thank you to all who participated in the new events.

While it is a competition, keep in mind that your behavior during the events is not only a reflection of yourself but also the law school as a whole.
