Shoot
Well, shoot. We don’t have a lot of information about this photo from the University Archives. It’s undated and labeled simply, “Archery-Athletics.”
Nevertheless, you, Rhody readers, submitted a lot of fun and creative captions. Many, including one of our runners-up, tapped into the news stories about spy balloons earlier this year. And there were a handful of seagull/clam cake captions, including the one below. How very Rhody of you!
