BFlorida D Won’t Be The Same

Defensive back Chauncey Gardner Jr. stood at the podium accepting his Outback Bowl Most Valuable Player Award after the Gators’ 30-3 win over Iowa.

The University of Florida freshman began by briefly thanking his teammates, coaches and family before a moment of genuine humility.

“But about the MVP, it goes to the guys up front, D-line, Joey Ivie, Cece Jefferson, Keivonnis Davis, the linebackers, and the coaching staff because they put me in position to make good plays, so credit them because it should be on them and I feel like it should be a team MVP.”

Now there’s a freshman that gets it. Gardner understands who mans the gate, so to

speak. Joey Ivie has been that unsung hero manning the gate for four years in a program that produced among the most feared defensive units in the country.

Ivie lined up against national champions, Heisman Trophy winners, future NFL first round selections, and several All-Americans.

“There were times in high school that I thought, wouldn’t it be cool to play in there (Raymond James Stadium) and now I’m actually playing in the Bucs stadium,” he said. “It’s bittersweet, but great to be able to go out with a bang in there.”

And go out with a bang, he did. Ivie finished with five tackles, including one for a loss and one quarterback hurry. He impressed with back-to-back downfield tackles as he wrapped up Iowa running back Akrum Wadley in the final quarter.

“I think I had a good game,” Ivie said. “There are some plays I feel like I could have done better in but you know, it’s football. You have to adjust; you have to continue to get better. But I feel like we had a great success as a team.”

Despite missing several starters, the Florida defense established Outback Bowl records for fewest first downs allowed (11), fewest passing first downs allowed (3), fewest passing yards allowed (55), and fewest total yards allowed (226) against a Big Ten

Christmas Around The World At Saint Leo UniversityChristmas in Germany

by Marie CoorsGoing home for Christmas break is

always a special time of the year. Not only do I get to see my family

after a long fall semester, but I also get to experience the Christmas markets with my friends.

At the beginning of December, many different vendors open up their stores in the down-towns of the cities to sell all different kinds of merchan-dise, such as self-made Christmas gifts, clothes, and jew-elry. However, the best part about the markets is meeting up with friends and enjoying all kinds of homemade food and drinks.

My personal favorite is a drink called Glühwein, which is a hot wine punch. It has been a traditional drink for a long time in Germany.

Besides the “Glühwein,” one of my favorite foods at a Christmas market is Flammkuchen, which almost looks like

a pizza but with thinner dough and bacon, sour cream, and onions on top.

For dessert, you can never go wrong with a freshly made crepe. Throughout the month of December, visiting a Christmas market is one of the main traditions in Germany and they help get everybody in the mood for the holiday at the end of the month.

From Gross-Zimmern, Germany, Marie Coors is a senior at Saint Leo University and member of the women’s golf team.

Christmas in Chile by Jaime Bueno

What I like the most about Christmas is meeting up with my whole family – there are a lot of us – and hanging out. We usually meet at my aunt’s house around 6 p.m., and we start getting the house ready for everyone to come over.

Instead of cook-ing one meal, we have every mem-ber of the fam-ily make whatever they want and

bring it to the house. That way we have a lot to eat, and we can share with ev-eryone.

After we finish dinner, we hang out in the backyard of my aunt’s house for a while, and we start playing the Djembes (a drum-like African instrument) and singing and drinking. When midnight is close, we make everyone go to the living room next to the Christmas tree to start the present-opening ceremony.

We don’t give presents to everyone because there are too many of us. What we do is we play “secret friend.” That way we give one gift and we receive one present. I don’t know why, but I always receive tennis balls. We don’t give expensive gifts; we don’t believe that giving expensive stuff is the Christmas spirit.

When we finish the present ceremony, it is already 12:30 a.m. The old members of the family are usually tired and go to bed, but the young members usually stay for a while, hanging out and having fun. That’s what I call a great Christmas.

From Santiago, Chile, Jaime Bueno is a junior at Saint Leo University and member of the men’s tennis team.

Christmas in Italyby Nina Vattovaz

In Italy, Christmas starts on Dec. 24. Usually, there is a dinner with all the relatives. The menu consists of fish, cock-tail shrimps, codfish, pasta with seafood, pandoro and we drink wine.

After dinner, there is the midnight mass we all attend. Then during the night, Santa Claus arrives for the kids.

On the morning of Dec. 25, we attend another mass, and after that there is lunch with all the relatives. This time, the menu is composed of lasagna or tortellini, a roast, spinach, mashed potatoes, green beans, bread and wine. The dessert always changes, but usually, in my family, we decide to have tiramisu.

After lunch, everybody exchanges presents with their relatives. The party is long, and usually we stay in the dining room until 9 p.m.

team that featured a pair of 1,000-yard rushers.The Gators also added yet another amazing goal

line stand to their resume. In the second quarter, Iowa put together a 10-play, 61-yard drive moving to the Florida one-yard line. The Hawkeyes were unable to score on four downs, which included a fourth down run to the left side that lost yardage because of penetration by Ivie and the D-line.

“That was huge. In my head, I was like ‘wow,’ it was kind of like LSU’s. We have a great goal-line defense. We all have that mentality where you’re going to give everything or they’re going to score. Just go get it,” Ivie said. “Everyone plugged every hole they did or had to, correctly. So it worked out perfect.”

What an impressive career for a three-star guy.Ivie was rated a three-star player at Pasco High

School in 2012 with most recruiting analysts predicting that he would be redshirted and eventually help the Florida defensive line down the road.

The failure of the analysts was their inability to measure Ivie’s heart, desire, and work ethic.

He did play as a true freshman. Florida struggled with injuries in 2013, but then

head coach Will Muschamp, a defensive guru, told the media that Ivie had in fact been fighting for a spot in the Gators rotation since the start of the 2013 season. Muschamp and defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin (who is now the head coach at Maryland) felt that he had earned the opportunity when they added Ivie to the rotation later in the year.

It’s hard to believe his Florida journey is finished.Many UF fans will spend the winter and spring

reflecting on what could have been had Muschamp redshirted Ivie, as they look for leaders in 2017.

“In my career here, there has been ups and downs but I feel blessed to be in the position that I am at,” Ivie said. “I was talking to some of the older guys about this but if you look back at a lot of the guys that came in the 2013 class and who’s left, or transferred. If you just look at whose gotten hurt, it’s amazing to see how far you have come from ‘a’ to ‘b.’ Like I said there have been ups and downs but I’m blessed to be

in the position I am in.”And now he will begin the process of preparing

for the National Football League draft. Since 1994, no program has produced more NFL Draft picks than Florida. In March, he’ll perform in the Gators NFL Pro Day before scouts.

But first, Ivie will join Florida defensive line teammate Bryan Cox in the East/West Shrine Game, which will be played Jan. 21 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. Representatives from every NFL team will attend both the practice sessions and game.

It’s finally beginning to hit him.Ivie said that he thought about it being his last game

and as he entered the field after halftime, he thought ‘this is my last half of football at Florida.’

“It’s a blessing to come out with a ring,” a smiling Ivie said. “That’s definitely one thing that I’ve had on my heart. A lot of us seniors were saying that we can’t leave here without a ring. We leave here with two SEC East titles and a bowl win.”

And a bright future for a former Pirate.

A New Year’sResolutionYou Can Keep!

Dec. 26 is St. Stefano Day. St. Stefano is a day where people wrap up and go out with friends and family, and there is usually a family lunch based on cannelloni, meat, and vegetables.

I help with the food preparation because I like cooking, especially baking, but not everybody does. In my family my grandma, my dad and my uncle are usually the people who cook dinner or lunch, but almost everybody brings something to eat from home. The chef for dinner the day before Christmas is my dad. My grandma, my uncle, and my father prepare the Christmas lunch, and my grandpa and grandma make the lunch for the day after Christmas. I usually bake something like tiramisu or some special cake.

I think that every family has different traditions, so I cannot tell how the typical Italian Christmas is celebrated – but I like the way in which I celebrate it with my family.

From Trieste, Italy, Nina Vattovaz is a freshman at Saint Leo University and member of the volleyball team.

Christmas in Sweden by Izabell Skoogh

As a women’s basketball student-athlete, with our schedule, I miss the Christmas traditions I have with my family. The traditions within my family are a mix between Swedish and Danish as I’m Danish from my mother’s side.

We wake up in the morning on Dec. 24, and we get a small gift in our Christmas stocking. After opening that gift from “Santa,” we eat breakfast before we get dressed. At 3 p.m., we watch Donald Duck, and at 4 p.m., we start eating our food.

My mother will have cooked for days to get everything ready. We start off by eating fish. We eat eels, lobster, shrimp, trout and salmon. When we are done eating our fish dishes, we go over to eat our meat: Swedish meatballs, sausages, lamb, duck, chicken and ham. When we have finished that, we move on to our dessert, but we usually take a break before getting started. For dessert, we eat rice pudding with crushed almonds in it – but we keep one whole almond in the dessert. The person receiving the whole almond wins and gets the small almond gift that was bought beforehand.

After we have eaten all this food, we move into the

living room, and we start opening our Christmas gifts. We take one at a time, and we all look at the person unwrapping their Christmas gift. We are usually not done until 10 or 11 p.m. It’s not all about the gift itself but the fact that we are all sitting together, having a good time, talking and enjoying each other’s company.

On Christmas Day, we eat the leftovers and spend time with each other.

The thing I miss the most about Christmas is my family and how we all spend time together. The snow makes it feel so much warmer and cozier inside when we are eating gingerbread cookies and drinking mulled wine. I also miss the food and having that same tradition every year. But the new family we are creating here at Saint Leo makes it all worth it.

From Helsingborg, Sweden, Izabell Skoogh is a sophomore at Saint Leo University and member of the women’s basketball team.

Christmas in England by James White

In England, I am sure we have pretty similar Christmas traditions to the American people, but obviously, every person is unique in one way or another. Of course in England, the climate is extremely different than in Florida, which helps add to the “Christmassy” feel. My city is decorated throughout with Christmas lights and trees, and there are German Christmas markets in the city center, which give it a real festive feel.

I usually meet up with my immediate family on Dec. 24 at our local church for a prayer and some Christmas caroling, which is encouraged by my grandmother and mother. We usually spend an hour or so at church, and when we get out around 9 p.m. we will head home and enjoy food and drinks with the family.

In England, it is pretty common for people to head out with friends on Christmas Eve, so I usually try to meet some of my friends in town after I’ve spent some time at home. But before I go out and before my 6-year-old brother goes to bed, we put out a mince pie with milk for Santa and carrots for Rudolph and the rest of the reindeer below our stockings and hope it pays off in the morning.

When I wake up on Christmas Day, around 7:30 a.m., my family and I will all gather around the tree and watch

each other open our presents one by one. My little brother usually has the majority of the presents, which is enjoyable to watch as he is always excited and happy with his gifts.

Whilst my mum makes final preparations to the food for Christmas lunch, my brother, my sister, and I will just hang out, watch some movies, and eat snacks together. After lunch, I find myself pretty full and end up napping for a few hours. Once I wake up, I’ll usually eat some more leftovers and spend the rest of the evening with the family playing board games and watching television.

In England, Dec. 26 is another day to celebrate and we call it “Boxing Day.” I’m not completely sure why it is referred to as this, but it is another national holiday. People make the most of their time off and spend it with the less-immediate family that you may not always see throughout the year and didn’t see over Christmas. I usually spend it with my family for a while and then head to my friend Danny’s house where they have an annual Boxing Day party with all of their family and close friends.

This is the last of my festive celebrations, and then the next thing to look forward to is New Year’s Eve.

From Portsmouth, England, James White is a sophomore at Saint Leo University and is a member of the men’s soccer team.

Brother Benedict CooperCOOPER, Brother Benedict, was born in New Amsterdam, N.Y., on July 13, 1937. He died on Dec. 30, 2016, at age 79. He is survived by his two daughters and a son. Brother Benedict lived on grounds of Saint Leo Abbey for some years since his wife died. He made his Oblation in 2011. Brother Benedict was a man that was never angry and he always had a smile on his face. One of the biggest jobs he performed in the Abbey was his service in the Sacristy, keeping things in order and clean. We are grateful for his service. Brother Benedict prided himself on being part of the Saint Petersburg Cathedral choir. At the end of his life his vibrato was so strong that he was no longer able to sing, but when he did, he overcame the singing of all of us. He will be remembered so much when we gather to sing as a community. Brother Benedict was a happy man. lt is admirable that, at an older age, he was willing to live under the Rule of Saint Benedict and the Abbot. Brother Benedict accepted corrections and was ready to learn the monastic way of life without any problems. May he rest in the assurance that we will miss his presence in the Abbey. The Abbot and monastic community ask you for your prayer for his eternal rest and the peace of mind and heart of his family. A Mass of Christian Burial took place Jan. 3 in the Abbey Church. Hodges Family Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements.
