Looks like no male porn star from the all male school.

Any chance the students can show some respect and avoid yelling "sucks" after he's introduced tomorrow? 

[thanooj]

my best man at my wedding, Bill May, said that the basketball games at St. John's were wild.  The students were able to stand right next to the sidelines so inbounds plays for opposing teams were an adventure.  The Students would scream right in the dude's ears, right on top of him.  So I say "you suck" and the kiss cam featuring to johnnies on the bench is right in play.

St. John's regularly leads DIII in football attendance and from what I understand is still pretty wild basketball wise.  Pretty good for a small, liberal arts college.

They did, he got a nice hand from the crowd, probably because he was announced as a former Marquette basketball letter-winner.
