He goes to my school!

I'd vote for John Egan for president

If you have the HI or DI done by him I would love to see those.

[tgjdlc]

@crazy50128 I wouldn't know how to get the videos, they're way old-school, orlmgc4ever would have to dive deep into his Rolodex to see if anyone has a copy he can put up...

What I know is that John Egan won the DI National Championship with "Inside Al" and the HI National Championship with "The Midlife Crisis of Dionysus"

[tgjdlc]

@tgjdlc Or at least I think it was "The Midlife Crisis of Dionysus"... it could have been "Picasso at the Lapin Agile" I don't remember for sure.

[crazy50128]

@tgjdlc Interesting, I was hoping since he has 01' he might have 00' or 99'. If anyone has those it would be awesome if you sent them to him xD

@tgjdlc It was "Picasso at the Lapin Agile"

[tgjdlc]

You guys should go to nfltv.org and watch the 1999 Oratory Final round... specifically Jarod Weiss "Whatever" and Josh Gad "Hooah!" two of the best OO's of all time.

I'm impressed with the variety of bright suit colors. Light blue and hot pink/red?

[dontuenvyme]

@lisachanggg i don't know, i kinda like it. It is original.

[Venthir]

I really like this speech. I could watch this oratory repeatedly. However, as an oratory, it seems a bit oddly structured (weird transitions, examples over analysis). He's an AMAZING speaker and his delivery is impeccable, though.

[KeepTheBeat411]

This man embodies oratory.

[tgjdlc]

This guy was a forensics God in his time. 1999 DI National Champion, 2000 HI National Champion, 2001 OO 3rd place.

[TheMarsht]

@tgjdlc Not to mention, he also won NCFL twice during those years as well.

[ahonsarkar]

Is it bad that I heard "winning" and thought Charlie Sheen?

[TheMarsht]

I honestly love this OO. Sure, it's kind of gimmicky, but such a natural speaker. Should have placed higher than 3rd.
