Most people make a New Year Resolution to lose weight. For the month of January, 26 Lipscomb students and faculty members have been a part of a group participating in Lipscomb’s version of the hit television show “The Biggest Loser.” The ‘Biggest Loser’ participants have gone to the Student Activity Center not only to lose weight and learn how to diet, but also to discover the real meaning of getting healthy. Matthew Abplanalp, the assistant director for the SAC, and Nicholas Mortensen, the head trainer/wellness grad assistant, talked about how this program works. “There are a total of three teams, one being a faculty/staff team, and the other two teams made up of students. We split the teams up based on who they requested to be with,” Abplanalp said. The schedule is very simple with Monday and Wednesday as the boot camp style, Tuesday as the challenge day, Thursday as group’s chapel day and Friday as the fun night. Mortenson is charge of the boot camp days, and Abplanalp is doing the fun Fridays. Mark McGee is the Media Relations Director for athletics and a teacher at Lipscomb. As a participant in “The Biggest Loser”, he jokingly said, “I’m still waiting on those so called “fun” days. It’s funny how I will be walking into my office, and people notice that I’m limping a little because I’m so sore.” He then continued to tell about some of the activities they participate in. “One of Tuesday challenge days was to run, jog, or walk starting from the SAC desk to Trader Joes (which is in Green Hills) and back.” Mortensen...

The 47th Super Bowl will kick off on February 3rd at 6:30 p.m. Eastern time. This year’s game features the SanFransico 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens. The San Francisco 49ers have gained the reputation of being ‘the comeback kid’ after defeating the Atlanta Falcons despite at one time being down 17 points. San Fransico started off the season with quarterback Alex Smith, but made a switch during the season to a name that not many had heard of. Colin Kaepernick played for Nevada in college, and many thought he would become a professional baseball player as opposed to joining the NFL. After he filled in for Alex Smith when he was injured, Kaepernick led the 49ers all the way to the Super Bowl. The Ravens on the other hand have been relying on their defense and steady play of quarterback Joe Flacco to make the playoffs. With this being Ray Lewis’ last season, the team has used the emotion to win games many thought they couldn’t. They beat both Peyton Manning and Tom Brady on the road to reach this year’s Super Bowl. Some think that the Ravens’ defense will be too much for the 49ers, while others are putting all their faith in Kaepernick to win the game. When we asked Lipscomb students who they thought would win the Super Bowl, the vote was unanimous....

Defeating a United States Olympian at an invitational is only the beginning of great things to come from Lipscomb junior Tucker Peabody. The Memphis native began running track his junior year in high school simply to get in shape for football. “I didn’t think track would get me anywhere,” Peabody said. Peabody was offered to play football at several Division I and Division II colleges before sustaining an injury. The injury prevented him from fully participating in half of his senior year football season. “[The injury] diminished my football career, and so I decided to stick with track,” Peabody said. During his senior season of track, Peabody said he got much better and so he received other offers for track. “Once I started receiving all of the offers, I started taking [track] more seriously,” Peabody said. Peabody currently runs the 100m, 200m and the 4x400m relay for the Bisons track and field team. On Saturday, Jan. 19, Peabody defeated Olympian Manteo Mitchell in the 200m. Peabody finished with a time of 21.36 seconds while Mitchell finished with a time of 21.37 seconds. “People seem to think it’s a big deal,” Peabody said when asked about his victory. Whether racing an Olympian or another college athlete, Peabody gets nervous just like anyone else. “Nerves kick in before every race, whether there is very little competition or I am racing an Olympian,” Peabody said. “The nerves are always there.” Peabody and Mitchell have raced several times before, and Peabody has a competitive relationship with Mitchell. He said that when the two raced in a preliminary race on Friday, Jan. 18, Mitchell...
