Guest EagleBackr Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 ...not sure who thought it would be a good idea to have teams from ORU and TU sharing the stage, with their respective fans elbow-to-elbow in the crowd for Thursday's Bartlett Square festivities. But, it is what it is, so we need to turn out EN MASSE to honor our boys. Can't afford to let the TU fans outnumber us - time to represent!! This is an opportunity for EVERY FAN who claims they don't get enough recognition (Manaics?) to show up and be seen/heard. All the players and coaches are going to be there - ARE YOU?!?

ORUTerry Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Rats.... I have a business trip planned and will be somewhere in western Kansas when the event takes place. I agree - everyone who is in town should be downtown on Thursday to cheer on our team. Let's show the men's team how much we appreciate them.

vcboy2000 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I'll be there. That is the first day of College Weekenders. It would be great to dress them all in ORU garb and bring them along too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praetorfenix86 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I'm confused about the fact that their will be pep bands there. No one has contacted me, so I don't think the ORU pep band will be there. Does that mean that only the TU pep band will be there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Pep bands, cheer squads and mascots will be present to entertain supporters and join Mayor Bill LaFortune.... This is from the press release.... sounds like someone's pep band will be there. Maybe the TSC rented the Central High School band like Chicago State did.

EasyTELGuy Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 How are we supposed to be there if it is in the middle of the schoolday? You've got business people planning this thing for the city and they may have been trying to complement the Tulsa 66ers festivities that day too. I will be down there since I'm out and about with my work as it goes! Hope to see many of you down there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieoru Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Won't it be kind of sad for Mayor Lafortune to be there if he loses tomorrow. It looks like it will be sad. I finally got to talk to him and seat him at the Gaither concert and now hes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
