TrippleZip Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 I just received an email informing my President Obama is speaking at the JAR on Wednesday. Has anyone heard if the game is cancelled? Quote
ZachTheZip Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 He's speaking at 12:30. The game was supposed to be at 7:00. I don't think he'll be there long enough to really affect the JAR staff's gameday prep. Worst case, we could move the start time to 8:00. Quote
akronzips71 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 It may take longer than that to move all the teleprompters. Quote
RootforRoo44 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 It may take longer than that to move all the teleprompters. LOL! Quote
RootforRoo44 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 Tipoff has been moved back to 8pm. Quote
akronzips71 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 I saw Richard Nixon at Memorial Hall when he was campaigning in 1968. That worked out so well. Quote
GoZips Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 obama speaking at 12:30 PM on a midweek school day. Good luck finding parking, getting to class, etc. Wonder why they are not using the Rubber Bowl with its acres of free parking and easy access to the highways. The Roo Express buses could be rerouted to include the Rubber Bowl for a day. White House advance people were sizing up the JAR during the Saturday morning intra-squad scrimmage. Wondered if they were spying for Oklahoma State. If they were, they got a great look at Pat Forsythe and Jake Kretzer making impact impressions on the coaching staff; not to mention Reggie McAdams taking some turns running the point. Quote

I wish you hadn't brought up the '68 campaign. I'm still traumatized about the assassination attempt on Pat Paulsen in Memorial Hall that year. Quote
ZippyRulz Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 Tipoff has been moved back to 8pm. I can't believe we're wasting a sold-out JAR by not making this an Obama/Zips double-header. The President loves hoops - he could have been invited to join the pregame shootaround for some great photo-ops. I'm being about 35% serious here Quote

Zipmeister Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 I don't recall that at all. Maybe you have repressed the memory; perfectly understandable. Quote
akronzips71 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 Maybe you have repressed the memory; perfectly understandable. I was there in 1968. Unless it was during the summer or something, I would have been on campus and I don't know anything about that at all. Quote

Seemed fine without 'em in the 2nd and 3rd debates...Mitt could have used a map though It is too bad he didn't stick around for thr game. Regardless of your political stance, you have to admit it'd be cool to have the POTUS there. Quote

Romney doesn't even know where the 54th through 57th states are located. Quote

TrippleZip Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Posted October 29, 2012 This morning I tried to park near the JAR and the university has already shut both lots next to the JAR down for his visit. A little too early for my mind. If your parents don't have the money don't worry China will lend it to you. Quote

Gcc Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Will there be a live stream for the exhibiton games? Quote
