Rifle team and an apology!

First and Foremost I want to congratulate the rifle team on their excellent performance in the national championship competition. You might not know this but the rifle team finished second in the whole entire nation. The Gamecocks came out of nowhere this year to win the Ohio Valley Conference tournament and finished one point behind United States Military Academy.
A big round of applause is due for the team after finishing second ahead of six-time defending champion Alaska Fairbanks.
Every JSU student should go by and congratulate the rifle team and swing by the Athletic Department and check out their NCAA trophy.
Congratulations again on a job well done and representing the school well.
In other news I would personally like to apologize to the brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon for the way last week's article misrepresented them.
In no way, shape or fashion did Sig Ep disrespect, dog, or mean anything bad by the sign towards the Philanthropy War of the Roses week they held up at last weeks game about Pi Kappa Phi.
To be honest, it would not be out of the norm if Pi Kapp had written a similar sign. The article should have suggested that the sign was just bulletin board material and the Pi Kapps wanted to prove the Sig Ep's wrong in the game.
The sign was a parody of the Visa commercial priceless series. The sign assigned point value like the commercial does for the various events Pi Kapp had in the week.
The Pi Kapps also encouraged the sorority girls to attend the game and would be given points for attending.
So the parody went like this and I am going off recollection to the best of my ability: Tug-o-war 10 points, girls attending game 20 points, beating Pi Kapp for the second time to win the fraternity championship, PRICELESS.
There is nothing wrong with the sign whatsoever. That is what Sig Ep thought would happen so they made a sign about it. No big deal! It is just like an athlete in pro sports guaranteeing a victory in the Super Bowl.
