Student Pep Rally - Stormfest
« on: September 18, 2008, 02:48:25 PM »
St. John's will be throwing a pep rally on campus next week Thurs the 25th.

It will be held in Taftner Field House for both the Women's and Men's team. Something that is interesting is that it is only for students so now alumni or non student fans will be granted access.

Guest List to my knowledge Includes:
Howie Schwab- The host of the night
Mark Jackson?
Lance Stephenson?
? = rumored

This is what the invitation that the student organization sent out....

Quote
Men's and Women's Basketball Showcase
Free Food
Dunk Contest
Guest Emcee ESPN's Stump the Schwab
Post Event Autograph Session
and...
Student Contests UP TO $30,000 IN PRIZES!!!

Free for students with valid Storm Card!

Get there early, space is limited!

I have a few issues with this...why only students? Also this would be so much better in CA but obviously it isn't ready. Dunk contest didn't we learn with Maybank? I wonder if they'll make a me judge for the dunk contest again?

JJ will you be going even though its only for students?  Do we have any current students on the board that will be attending and willing to give a recap?

Make you judge?  Were you forced the last time :)

From what I'm told, Lance and family should be there.

Expect a lot of other recruits there as well.

JJ better use his influence to help let non-students in. The last Stormfest was one of Norm's better ideas.
If Lance's documentary crew gets in, Marco Baldi may protest.

it's weak not to allow alums in.  i'm sure it's concerns about space since CA obviously won't be ready in time.

hopefully, next year, their acts will be together.

LOL I actually was because they had no one. I worked in athletics at the time. I gave Maybank a zero and felt like a jerk for it afterwards.

I see nothing wrong with a dunk contest...freak accidents could happen at anytime.  Let the kids/students have some fun.
When you're a kid from New York and you do it in New York, that lasts forever!

I haven't really heard any buzz about it yet but then again they only started advertising it Tuesday.  Signs are everywhere you look though so I see no reason why the students shouldn't be into it.

the kids these days and their spellings.  MC is supposed to be for Master of Ceremonies.  I suppose if you're talking about a performer, who, with a DJ is not the sole master of ceremonies the "emcee" selling is okay, but really.  M! C!
