SYRACUSE, NY – Time Warner Cable has secured the title sponsorship for the October 15 NBA Preseason game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Detroit Pistons at the Carrier Dome, according to Chris Cordes of One On One, the game's promoter. “The Road Runner Mobile NBA Challenge” is scheduled to tipoff at 7:30 p.m.
“We could not hope for a better sponsor to help host this event,” said Cordes, New York State Director of One On One. “Time Warner Cable is first and foremost in the coverage of local and regional sporting events, and their relationship with Syracuse University Athletics makes them the perfect partner to bring Jonny Flynn and Wesley Johnson back to Syracuse.”
Former Syracuse standouts Jonny Flynn and Wesley Johnson, each a first-round draft choice of the Timberwolves, are expected to return to the Carrier Dome for the contest. In addition, Johnson is appearing at an autograph session on Saturday, August 21, in the Time Warner Store at the Great Northern Mall. The session is scheduled for 2:00-to-3:30 p.m. Fans will be limited to one autograph per patron.
“Time Warner Cable is closely tied to the communities we serve so we are thrilled to connect successful former SU players Jonny Flynn and Wes Johnson back to their college roots,” said Henry Pearl, Time Warner Cable Central New York Area Vice President. “With Road Runner Mobile, that is more possible than ever by keeping folks connected any time, any place – with super charged Internet speed just like that of these two new NBA stars.”
“We appreciate our longstanding partnership with Time Warner Cable,” said Syracuse University senior associate athletics director Peter Sala. “The title sponsorship for the 2010 NBA preseason game is another example of their continued support of the Carrier Dome and Syracuse University.”
