You and your best friend are watching the big game.

Fourth and goal. Game tied. No time on the clock.

Intense, but there’s one problem.

You are each rooting for different teams.

What happens next is anyone’s guess, but some students will find themselves in that same predicament when the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots face-off for Super Bowl XXXIX this Sunday.

Freshmen Chelsea Bailey and Jamie Stillwell will most certainly find themselves in that situation.

Both are close friends and neighbors up in Dolan, but that friendship takes a hiatus this weekend as they take to the big screen T.V. and an evening on the gridiron.

Bailey, a long-time avid Patriots fan from New Hampshire, is comfortable with her team’s chances of winning.

“The Pats are most definitely going to win. Look at their record, three Super Bowl appearances and two Super Bowl wins in four years, they’re going for a sweep, three for three.” said Bailey. “They don’t know how to lose the big games.”

The Patriots are favored this weekend by seven points over the Eagles, but that doesn’t deter Stillwell’s confidence.

“The Eagles are sure to win because they have had an incredible season, 13-3, and they deserve it this year,” said Stilwell.

A native of Pennsylvania, Stillwell has another take on why her team will be victorious.

“The Pats are overconfident, boring and have no TL,” explained Stillwell.

How are the girl’s getting into the Super Bowl spirit?

“I don’t want to waste my energy on decorating my room, I’m

saving it up for cheering on the Pats on Sunday.” exclaimed Bailey. “Although the Eagles will need all the help they can get, so maybe I’ll throw in a few cheers for them too. Maybe.”

Stillwell is taking a similar approach.

“I don’t have any Eagles paraphernalia, but I will be screaming the Eagles chant, E-A-G-L-E-S,” she said.

So what happens to the losing fan?

“Death of course, or just utter shame and humiliation, but I’m not worried, the Pats would never let me down.” said Bailey.

And the winner?

“She will get to rub it in the other’s face and gloat a bit, and maybe even do a little happy dance in front of the other,” said Stillwell.
