The historic \u201cBattle on Blake\u201d between CC and DU in February ended in the \u201cBattle on Bake\u201d \u2013 with CC taking the heat and forking over five strawberry-rhubarb pies as the payoff in a friendly wager between the two schools. CC President Jill Tiefenthaler and DU Chancellor Rebecca Chopp took the long-simmering rivalry between the two schools to a new level \u2014 the kitchen.<\/p>\n
The wager: Cupcakes for the Tigers if Colorado College won; strawberryrhubarb pie for the Pioneers if the University of Denver won (which they did, 4-1).<\/p>\n
Making good on CC\u2019s promise, seven students, all members of the President\u2019s Council, gathered at the end of Block 6 in President Tiefenthaler\u2019s kitchen to bake pies. The pie-bakers included Emma Wilson \u201918, Emma Whitehead \u201916, Isabella Bussian \u201918, Mac Gustafson \u201916, David Andrews \u201918, Michelle Cordell \u201916, Erin Harty \u201916,<\/strong> President Tiefenthaler, and Caitlin Apigian, special assistant to the Board of Trustees. \u201cIt was an incredible experience,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cJust hanging out, baking pies in Jill\u2019s kitchen. It was very fun.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI hope this is pass\/fail,\u201d says Gustafson (in the orange jacket and cap) who, the following day with Cordell and Wilson, delivered the fruits of their labor to the Denver hockey team in their locker room. \u201cThe last laugh is on DU. I couldn\u2019t bake my way out of a pie if I had to.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The historic \u201cBattle on Blake\u201d between CC and DU in February ended in the \u201cBattle on Bake\u201d \u2013 with CC taking the heat and forking over five strawberry-rhubarb pies as the payoff in a friendly wager between the two schools.
