I will bring some tomatoes and oranges. :) I think that Dalberg,
Lance, Jeremy Beckham, Scott, Mike M, and Steve Schaneville should all
consider. As I said before we should having LSU provide their "best"
speaker to have a college representative. I may consider throwing my
hat in as well...

Mike... I think you kinda have to make a choice as to what you want to throw...

...either tomatoes and oranges   OR  your hat.... not both.

If this is going to be similar to the "Speaker Idol" I saw at Tech Ed, then it should prove to be very entertaining and informative to the audience, while being educational to the speakers.

I have NO idea what topic I would want to present, but I think I might be interested in participating as well...

...at least from here, the June 7th date doesn't seem TOO scary...
