When the balance of the game hinged on converting an extra point in overtime and St. John’s [...]

Follow me on Twitter throughout each and every Johnnie football game (mmelsen).
Mid-October 2006 and I receive an acceptance letter from St. John’s University.  Most of my friends would take until May to decide.  Me?  I decided Johnnie-on-the-spot that SJU was the place for me.  My first Johnnie game as a “soon-to-be-Johnnie” was led by an [...]
