That did occur to me as well, it's kind of a damned if you do damned if you don't. Being on the 5PM news instead of the 10PM news is probably worth it I suppose. We'll just have to see if they spin it as a successful event or not to see what their intent was.

I would not miss a Fire Ray Watts opportunity like this.

I will be Periscoping the event. Follow me on Persicope & Twitter @joey35209 .

You can watch on the Periscope App. There will also be a link in my Twitter feed that will allow you to watch on Laptops/Desktops. Check it out around 4pm.

For those of us unable to watch live, will someone record the event for watching at a later time?

Hopefully we'll get coverage at 5, 6, & 10 on all local broadcast stations due to the time and gravity of the event.

It will stay in the recent events part of Periscope on my feed . It will be saved for a day or so from what I've seen

That bag, if I get one, will go unopened and will receive a place of honor in my Blazer Room.

RE: Be Sure to Come to the UAB Athletics Committee Meeting If You Can
Like a lot of other folks I am having trouble with the early start due to work. Like others I see that the "doors open at 4:00 PM", but when does the event actually start. I saw someone mention a 5:00 pm start time. Can anyone provide a definite start time?

Rod told me that he called the athletics office about it and they told him that doors opened at 4 but most speakers, etc would start around 5.

I was planning on getting there at 4. I'm going to get there early for some blazer blend. Unfortunately can't stay the whole time, but I hope I get to hear some news.

I'll be there. Sounds like an event worth some vacation time.

Just talked to Brad. Doors open at 4:00 pm. The band starts playing at 4:30 pm. The speakers follow soon thereafter.

The time was select for maximum media exposure.

With Alan Collins' tweets right now, I hope the announcement is that we've hit the 2-2.5mil goal placed before us last week. This is exhausting.

That info leaking was either really poorly timed or really well timed.
