Dunking Daredevils

     The Bud Light Daredevils, a well-known and popular slam dunk
act, will perform on Friday evening, Dec. 20, in the Bob
Carpenter Center during halftime at the Fightin' Blue Hens men's
basketball game against Washington College.
     The Daredevils' eight-minute basketball routine is packed
with high-velocity trampoline dunks, breath-taking flips, amazing
acrobatics and comedy antics. This year's show also will feature
team members executing a three-point slam from the top of the
key.
     The Daredevils was formed in 1980 when several athletes at
the University of Mississippi combined precision gymnastics and
ball-handling skills.
     During the last 16 years, more than 8 million fans have
witnessed the Bud Light team's performances at hundreds of
colleges and professional sporting events. Internationally, the
team has made appearances in 74 cities in 20 foreign countries.
