Although this was a pricey event, it would really serve most fans good to attend a venue where St. John's shines brilliantly. The tip off dinner was one of those. So many great, generous fans were there, and the athletic department, coaches and administrators engaged all warmly during the evening, especially during the cocktail hour.
I saw NYCRedmen (who called out to me) and Panther, and JSJ - all even better in person than on here.
There are many free or less expensive events where users here can meet and get to know each other beyond some of the caustic rhetoric that often pervades fan websites. I've met so many of you and like each person I've met in person.
What we really are is a great community, and trust me, St. John's is improving leaps and bounds daily.
