On Oct.17 President Obama addressed thousands of Ohio University students and Athens residents in front of the pillars of Memorial Auditorium. He spoke for half an hour, and he acknowledged Ohio University directly at the top of the speech by praising Frank Solich’s AP Top 25 program, saying,
“I heard your football team is fun to watch. They’re undefeated. They might win the MAC. They might go to the BCS.” ....[ KOD]..
