Signing on to history

“Oh yeah? I had forgotten all about that.”
Stephanie Nantkes’ first reaction when asked if she remembered when she and her daughter, Danielle, then a third grader, penned their names on the 1975 Toyota Corolla going into the World’s Largest Time Capsule in 1985 was followed by a pause in the telephone conversation.
Read more about the signatures and signers in the Sept. 18 SCI.

Concordia
Football
While leaning upon the legs of Mark Arp and Carlos Collazo and the dominance of its veteran offensive line, the Concordia University football team piled up more yardage than any other Bulldog edition ever has during the GPAC era (2000-present). The 641 total yards jumped off the page in a 42-7 defeat of Dakota Wesleyan in Mitchell, S.D. Arp racked up more than 200 yards rushing and scored three touchdowns while Collazo passed the century mark and found the end zone twice.

Volleyball
Whenever a rough patch hits, this Concordia University volleyball team always seems to have an answer. After slipping up in the third set Sept. 14, the third-ranked Bulldogs found their finishing touch and sent No. 20 Midland packing, 25-21, 25-17, 16-25, 25-17, inside Friedrich Arena. Three Concordia attackers each tallied 11 kills in a match that required the contributions of many.
