MUAA to give away flat panel TV during ‘Jam the Cam’

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The Marshall University Alumni Association will give away a 32-inch flat panel TV Sunday to a fan attending the seventh annual “Jam the Cam” women’s basketball game at Cam Henderson Center. The game between Marshall and Navy begins at 1 p.m.

Nancy Pelphrey, coordinator of alumni programs with the MUAA, said fans 18-and-older entering Henderson Center for the game will be given a ticket, entering them in the drawing. The winning number will be called during the first half of the game, and the winner will be recognized at halftime. Pelphrey said the person with the winning ticket must be present to claim the TV.

“The alumni association is excited to be a part of ‘Jam the Cam,’ which traditionally is one of the most popular games of the season,” Pelphrey said. “We thank Big Sandy Superstores for sponsoring the TV give-away and we hope all Herd fans will come out Sunday and show their support by jamming the Cam.”

The 2007 version of “Jam the Cam” will be a salute to United States military troops. All current and former military personnel will be admitted free by showing their military I.D. Admission will be $1 for all others.

The game will feature a military theme. The United States Marine Corps Color Guard will be present and a video presentation will be shown in honor of the troops. West Virginia legend Woody Williams, the oldest living recipient of the Medal of Honor, also will be present.

In its first six years, “Jam the Cam” attracted more than 24,000 fans, including a Marshall school record of 7,017 in 2004 for the Herd’s game with the University of Kentucky.
