What will Wednesday's Announcement be?

[Loyal1]

The FO says it will be carried live by 1280 from the airwaves cafe.

When I later called 1280 to find out what time they weren't sure. I hope that it was just the big cheese gone home and not that it fell through.

[Jim Umber]

Well I'm hoping for a player. That would hold me over (just barely)😉 'til Friday.

Hmmm.... if the player will be available, doesn't that mean he probably WON'T be in Colombus for the USMNT game? This may negate the Keller possibility. Maybe it will be one of the local guys.

Any body know if there is a USMNT v. Jamaica match viewing/gathering anywhere after the announcement tonight?

I think Airwaves is the place to be this evening!

Yep, mckid's got it right. In an email sent out to the Loyalists mailing list, it states that those invited to the announcement are also invited to stay and watch the US v. Jamaica game. I wish I could stay! That would be a blast!!

I'm the big, fat pregnant lady who will be struggling for breath and trying to stay awake. Come introduce yourself and I'll introduce you to any other Loyalists that I see. If you want.
