HAVE TEAMS THAT QUALIFY FOR THE
DIVISION II PLAYOFFS, BUT NOW
YOU HAVE AN ADDITIONAL
POSTSEASON OPPORTUNITY THROUGH

9
00:00:47.747 --> 00:00:54.254
THE BOWL GAMES.
>> WE DO AND THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BE WITH YOU.
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THE EIGHTH

10
00:00:54.254 --> 00:01:07.467
YEAR AS THE SPONSORING FOOTBALL.
I WAS LOOKING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY
TO EXPAND OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR
ATHLETE SO TWO YEARS AGO WE WERE

11
00:01:07.467 --> 00:01:16.309
COMING BACK AND WE CAME BACK TO
THE VISITORS AUTHORITY MET WITH
RICK FLOCKA AND SAID I HAVE AN
IDEA TO HOST IN BOWL GAME AND HE

12
00:01:16.309 --> 00:01:26.219
KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED HIS
DAUGHTER HAD BEEN A STUDENT
MANAGER AND FROM THERE WE HAD
BEEN WORKING FOR TWO YEARS

13
00:01:26.219 --> 00:01:32.325
TOWARD THIS AND REALLY LOOKING
FORWARD TO DECEMBER 7 AND THE
BOWL GAME.
>> WITH THE VISITORS BUREAU YOU

14
00:01:32.325 --> 00:01:40.066
ARE ALWAYS LOOKING TO DRIVE
TRAFFIC AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A
GOOD FIT FOR YOU.
>> WE ARE LOOKING TO DRIVE

15
00:01:40.066 --> 00:01:46.940
TRAFFIC ESPECIALLY IN DECEMBER
WHEN WE NEED IT THE MOST.
IT'S A GREAT FIT AND PRETTY
CLOSE TO THE CITY OF CHICAGO AND

16
00:01:46.940 --> 00:01:53.847
NOT FAR FROM INDY, SO IN ANY
DIRECTION IT'S SUCCESSFUL TO
BOTH TEAMS.
>> YOU HAVE COOKED UP A LOT OF

17
00:01:53.847 --> 00:02:01.421
OTHER ACTIVITIES BEYOND THE GAME
THAT MAKE THIS A GREAT
EXPERIENCE.
>> WE DID AND THE TEAM ARRIVES

18
00:02:01.421 --> 00:02:09.596
ON THURSDAY DECEMBER THE 5TH SO
WE HOST THEM FOR DINNER AND THEN
THE NEXT DAY ON FRIDAY WE HAVE
THEM BUSY ALL DAY WITH SOME

19
00:02:09.596 --> 00:02:16.402
INTERACTION WITH HOBART HIGH
SCHOOL AND THE ELEMENTARY
SCHOOLS IN ADDITION TO THAT WE
HAVE A TREE LIGHTING ON THAT

20
00:02:16.402 --> 00:02:22.642
FRIDAY NIGHT SO THE TEAM WILL
INTERACT WITH THE COMMUNITY IN
THE NEXT MORNING IT IS GAME
TIME.

21
00:02:22.642 --> 00:02:31.518
>> TALK ABOUT AND I DIDN'T
REALIZE THAT THE OTHER
CONFERENCE, WAS ALSO BASED IN
INDIANAPOLIS SO THIS WAS AN EASY

22
00:02:31.518 --> 00:02:38.992
FIT FOR THEM TO GET TOGETHER.
>> MADE EASIER BY THE FACT THAT
TOM WHO IS THE COMMISSIONER
WORKED FOR ME FOR FIVE YEARS AS

23
00:02:38.992 --> 00:02:47.333
MY ASSOCIATE COMMISSIONER SO
THEIR OFFICES ARE DOWNTOWN
INDIANAPOLIS FROM THE PAN AND
BUILDING LOCATED ABOVE THE

24
00:02:47.333 --> 00:02:54.707
SPAGHETTI FACTORY SO IT'S BEEN
REALLY WONDERFUL TO PARTNER WITH
TOM ON THIS INITIATIVE AND IT
WAS VERY IMPORTANT FOR BOTH

25
00:02:54.707 --> 00:03:02.682
CONFERENCES TO BE ABLE TO DO
SOMETHING FOR THE FOOTBALL
PROGRAMS AND EXPAND THAT
OPPORTUNITY AND LIKE I SAID

26
00:03:02.682 --> 00:03:08.021
KATIE AND EVERYBODY FOR THE
SOUTH SHORE CONVENTION AND
VISITORS AUTHORITY WERE HELPFUL
AT ACCOMMODATING WE WILL PUT ON

27
00:03:08.021 --> 00:03:18.298
A GREAT SHOW FOR BOTH TEAMS AND
FOR THE FANS.
>> THERE IS A GREAT NEW SPORTS
THE MASCOT HALL OF FAME AND YOU

28
00:03:18.298 --> 00:03:24.904
-- THEY ARE IN MONSTER.
>> IN WHITING.
>> SORRY.
BUT YOU WILL INTERACT WITH THE

29
00:03:24.904 --> 00:03:31.444
MASCOT HALL OF FAME AND MAKE
THEM PART OF THE GAME.
>> THEY OPENED A YEAR AGO AND WE
WILL INCLUDE THEM IN THE GAME SO

30
00:03:31.444 --> 00:03:41.487
REGGIE THE MASCOT WILL BE OUT IN
THE STANDS AND DURING THE
HALFTIME SHOW HE WILL BE PUTTING
-- PLAYING WITH OTHER MASCOTS

31
00:03:41.487 --> 00:03:49.062
AND ENTERTAINING THE FANS AND IN
ADDITION TO THAT LOCAL BANDS
PLAYING AND I THINK TRUMAN WILL
HAVE THEIR BAND AS WELL.

32
00:03:49.062 --> 00:03:59.005
>> JIM CORNELIUS.
>> HE IS SEEN IN THE NATIONAL
