HvZ not UF’s only intense game

By ADAM LICHTENSTEIN< | Sep. 22, 2010

I agree with Sean Quinn’s column regarding Humans vs. Zombies. Players are far too intense and it reflects negatively on the school.    I know another game where the same applies. A bunch of students wear pads, hit each other and chase a man with a ball. Most students get into the game and some even paint themselves! This barbarity reflects horribly on this school as a learning institution.
