... Steds. It's every Stedsman worse nightmare. Yes, having to compete against fellow Stedsmen is something that no Gentleman ever wants to do, but sadly, from time to time, it happens. And that's exactly what happened when two Steds Bookstore basketball team collided head to head on the court in the annual ND Bookstore Basketball Tourney. Commonly referred as simply "Bookstore," the tourney is an opportunity for friends to form competitive as well as non-competitive teams to play for Ws or just laughs. But for our two Steds teams, it was all about the W. It was Steds against Steds... junior against junior... Magic Johnson against S3 Podcast... and while they might have to live with each other, nothing was held back as both sides vied for the win. But in the end, there could be only one winner and that was Team Magic Johnson.
On losing in the opening round, Tommy Gallagher, Steds junior and S3 Podcast team member, stated, "Playing a Steds team in the 1st round of Bookstore was certainly a unique experience. It was kind of like Duke and UNC playing in the Final Four. But it was also unfortunate as the other team had all the tall people in Steds.”
On winning in the opening round, Sam Miller, resident Floridian, said, “We didn’t enjoy it, but the other Stedsmen had to walk so that we might run.”
