Everyone enjoyed the bet JohnnyJungle.com and SienaHoops.com had for the St. Johns and Siena matchup in Philadelphia last month. In case you missed it, the losing team had to put the opponents logo up on their site for 3 days following the game. Oh don’t worry I saved a screen shot of the site when it had the St. John’s logo up.
Many people doubted St. John’s going into the Siena matchup as they do for their upcoming matchup with Duke.
I’m a competitor though and I always like issuing the challenge. So I reached out to one of my favorite tweeters, Jay Williams. If you don’t know who Jay Williams is take a break from reading this and check this out for a minute. Yes, Jay Williams might be the greatest guard of all time in Duke history.
Now Jay is busy being a college basketball analyst and commentator for ESPNU while also being a full time Twitter extraordinaire. I’ve been a little bitter that Jay has ignored my many requests for St. John’s shout outs while he was on ESPNU and tweeting during commercial breaks. I know Jay is a competitor much like myself so I put it out there to him.
It took a little while for Jay to respond but he accepted.
I’m looking for a repeat of 2000 as St. John’s was the last non ACC team to go into Cameron Indoor and come out victorious. I’m feeling pretty good too as the Krupinski family is currently 1-0 against Jay Williams. Yes my younger sister beat Jay in a game of knockout at a basketball camp quite some time ago. Don’t make me bust out the videos (Ok I’m bluffing no videos but I do have a Jay Williams T-Shirt she’ll never grow into as proof).
Expect to see one Twitter account rocking a St. John’s or Duke logo come Sunday.
