Super Bowl 2025 is upon us, and after conducting some very serious investigative journalism (a.k.a. talking to 10 random students and faculty), we can confidently report that this campus is all in on the Eagles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we mean all in. Every single person we spoke to said they want the Birds to win. Even the two Steelers fans we found (Traitors? Or just strategic AFC loyalists?) are putting their black and yellow aside to cheer for the green and silver. That\u2019s how you know it\u2019s real.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Game Plan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-space-between is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-2 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p>Most students will be watching the game at bars or at a friend\u2019s place\u2014because let\u2019s be honest, the Super Bowl is best enjoyed with wings, beer, and people screaming at the TV like Nick Sirianni can actually hear them. But not everyone gets to join in on the fun. Some unlucky souls have work or practice the next day, meaning they\u2019ll either miss the game or suffer through Monday running on caffeine and regret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/thechcgriffin.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Super-Bowl-2025-Sara-Woodring.m4a\"><\/audio><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sara Woodring, CHC Assistant Athletic Trainer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/thechcgriffin.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Super-Bowl-2025-Rudy-Del-Prete.m4a\"><\/audio><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rudy Del Prete, First-year Psychology Major<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MVP Predictions?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a two-man race. Six of the people we interviewed think Saquon Barkley will take home the award, while four believe Jalen Hurts will get his moment. Honestly, either one would be iconic. But as long as the Eagles win, nobody\u2019s complaining.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CHC Athletic Director Jesse Balcer Sr. Weighs In<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also had to opportunity to talk with Jesse Balcer Sr., our college\u2019s athletic director and a die-hard Eagles fan. He\u2019s either watching at his house or at a friend\u2019s place, where, according to him, the essentials will be covered: food, drinks, and a packed house full of Eagles fans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we asked for his prediction, he didn\u2019t hesitate\u2014Eagles 27, Chiefs 17<strong>.<\/strong> Not only is he confident in a win, but he\u2019s also got his MVP pick locked in: Saquon Barkley, with 130 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns. His favorite part of Super Bowl Sunday? The gatherings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Anything that gets family and friends together on the same night, I\u2019m all for,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if the Birds win? If school is closed, he\u2019ll be at the parade 100%. (Hint to the administration: maybe just cancel classes now.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Aftermath<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Win or lose, emotions will run high. But if \u2014 WHEN \u2014 the Eagles pull it off, there\u2019s only one way to celebrate: the parade. Every single person I talked to said they\u2019re ready to flood Broad Street if we get the W. Classes? Optional. Responsibilities? Forgotten. If there\u2019s a bus stop standing by the end of the night, did we even do it right?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So buckle up, Chestnut Hill College. Super Bowl Sunday is almost here. <strong>Go Birds.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Super Bowl LIX: CHC Is Ready. Are the Eagles?
