Former BSG President, Ed Tommasi, has hit it pretty big. The 2005 graduate of the College at Brockport has moved on to bigger things, including his recent appearance on “Deal or No Deal,” Thursday, Feb. 14.

Tommasi has been deemed one of the craziest contestants ever, after he took deals to not only wear high heels on the show, but to also wear an A-line babydoll sequin dress. The number was quite dazzling.

Everyone who has played or even heard about the Mario games knows the story — Bowser captures Princess Peach and Princess Daisy and it’s up to everyone’s favorite pair of Italian plumbers to get them back. What we don’t know is what happens after the game is over and the credits roll.

Questions like where did Bowser go after he was defeated, did Mario and company live happily ever after in the Mushroom Kingdom, and what is Yoshi and where did it come from, are still ringing in the players’ minds.

The College at Brockport gymnastics team jumped to a first-place win at the Harriett Marranca Memorial Invitational held at Ithaca College, as the Golden Eagles won a myriad of titles.

Stacy Johnson took the all-around title, which helped bring the team to their domination of both host Ithaca and Wilson College, scoring 184.375 points, while the Bombers could only muster a total of 182.52 and the Phoenix placed third with a score of 166.400.

Brockport dominated nearly all four events, taking first or second -place rankings in the beam, floor exercise and vault.
Lauren Gildemeyer tied for the top spot for the floor exercise with an Ithaca College gymnast, with a 9.550 score. Amanda Giannone finished third for the same event. Other Eagles that finished in the top for floor exercise included Nikki Fisher and Stephanie Baker.

“In regards to this past weekend, I think that as a team, we are finally starting to become more consistent and confident with our performances,” Gildemeyer said. “Although we could still use a bit of improvement on some of the littler things, we are looking to be on the right track for having another successful ECAC competition.”
