Kevin Brown / The SunflowerThe following is an excerpt from The Sunflower, Wichita State University's student-run newspaper.
After exiting the large, plastic bubble, junior Tyler Bird rose from the turf of Bombardier Learjet Practice Facility on campus amidst applause from spectators.
Bird had taken one too many hits in a game of bubble soccer and was unable to escape his bubble or pick himself up from the ground until a whistle was blown to give him a break from the bashing.
Unconcerned over his episode of exhaustion, Bird blamed himself for being out of shape and with a grin said, “[The game] is a blast.”
