Here at Allegheny, and at all NCAA affiliated institutions, we have what is known as SAAC, Student Athletic Advisory Committee. This committee consists of representatives from each sports team. The committee meets twice a month and discusses topics such as how to increase attendance at games, how to sufficiently use economic resources when traveling to and from games, and other various hot topics.
One aspect of SAAC is the public relations committee. This year our PR committee decided to put on an All Athlete Talent Show. Basically players from each team make up their own act and perform it at the show. Though the amount of teams that participated was a little low, the teams that did come out to perform did a really great job!
The show opened with the Men’s Track team; they serenaded their coach with the song “my girl” and then showed us that real men can wear short shorts. Next it was our turn, we decided to bring out our inner hood and perform our very own rap! Coach Sanford even put on her baggy pants and hoodie and made a special guest appearance!
The Tennis team did a movie montage to Austin powers, The Hangover, Step Brothers, A Night at the Roxbury and Napoleon Dynamite.
The Women’s soccer team gave a stunning performance of the Chicken Noodle Soup dance in a wide variety of costumes. Men’s soccer team showed off their sex appeal by dressing classy and dancing seductively. The Golf team danced for us and showed us they can not only handle clubs but umbrellas! Baseball did a hilarious little reenactment of an old spice commercial, and the Football team ended the show with a Chippendale’s tryout and a few songs.
After calculating the scores the first place trophy went to the Golf team. The show was a big success and the members of SAAC who put it together did a really great job! We hope for a bigger turn out and an even better show next year! There is even talk about potentially charging admission for the show and donating the proceeds to a worthy cause, but the specific details of next year still need to be worked out.
Over all the process of meeting with our team and coming up with an act was a lot of fun and really helped to bond our team even more! Though I am disappointed we did not take home first place in the talent show I know that we are focused and ready to take home a more important first place trophy this season!
P.S. here is the rap we performed if you are interested in reading
