On October 10, Stockton College held a spirit day to raise the morale of students and their families for the Homecoming game. For weeks students have been talking about how excited they were to see Nicole Byer and Kevin Barnett, MTV comedians, take the stage and bring on the laughter.

As students gathered in Big Blue, the Stockton Entertainment Team (SET) began to raise spirits in preparation for the main event. Free Homecoming shirts were given out at a table as event staff moved chairs around to better the seating for the show. Many students also took advantage of the free pizza that was being offered for dinner.

After the meal, many rushed to the front of the seating area and anxiously awaited the night’s performers. During this time, D.J. Mike Scott played a variety of songs as numerous students jumped up on stage and danced alongside the Stockton Osprey. Everyone was happy, laughing and smiling.

A little after 8:00 p.m., comedian Nicole Byer was the first to take the stage. She shocked the audience by instantly breaking out the inappropriate jokes and language. There was a mix of laughter and gasping in the air as Nicole delivered joke after joke, interacting with the audience and cracking everyone up. Kevin Barnett followed up his Girl Code costar, delivering equally funny content. Barnett was even more interactive, asking the Homecoming King and Queen why they were dressed like “such dorks”.

Stockton Spirit Day was a success and brought a smile to many of Stockton’s students’ faces. Whether students enjoyed the free pizza, the t-shirt giveaways, or the adult content featured during SET’s “One Night Stand Up! Comedy Show!” – There was something for everyone.
