Horn Sports Annual Convention during Orange and White Game?

[Randolph Duke]

If there is any interest in having a loosely coordinated Horn Sports weekend in Austin for the weekend of the Orange and White game I will make some phone calls and see what we can put together. I was thinking trying to get some sort of a group rate for hotel rooms and bugging Steve Patterson's office to see if we can get a group tour of the stadium so those who haven't seen some of the behind the scenes stuff can see DKR from a different perspective. It would be interesting to knock back a few cold ones and share some stories among the group.

I don't think the date of the game has been set yet, but last week Coach Strong said spring practice would begin after spring break which ends March 14. Spring practice runs for 15 practices, including the spring game, so we are probably either looking at the last weekend in March or the first weekend in April.

Let me me know if anyone has any interest.

I'm definitely in. I don't need a room though. I have a brother and sister in Austin.

 

[bbdude]

Definitely in! FANTASTIC IDEA.

 

[Topstarr]

Yes I am in also. I could help a lot....My company (retired now) did all the walls, ceilings on all EAST, WEST and North buidouts of all the Suites and all Hallways and all other rooms and STUFF for about 23 years at the Stadium.

 

[Chitownhorn]

I'm in. Live in Austin so I don't need a room.

 

[UTPhil2006]

Live here so I'm good there. A Happy Hour Friday night/Saturday depending on how you want this to work wouldn't be a bad idea either.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

I'm in. But I'll be staying with McPhaul and his sis. jk

At by other little board, we've had a spring game tailgate. We could do something similar here, Big Mike has a good spot for one as do I. Both a block from the stadium.

 

[SFlonghorngirl]

I'm in if I'm in town! Would love to meet you folks!

 

[drgilbert]

[Capn Hook]

Damn, you guys suck - I can't attend. I live just outside Sacramento and am planning a trip to Austin sometime in May.

The very least you can do for me is drink several beers in my honor.

 

[HornSolo]

Sounds like a winner, I'm in

Working on something big, Huge, GARGANTUAN for the Spring Game that will tie in nice with such a tailgate. Stay tuned.

Well, except for those that are camera shy. Wait, I didn't say that, forget I said that. Can't let the cat outta the bag yet.
