I wish I was going to be up there. Someone ask him if we need to send money in for a certain coaches buyout.

"REST" already !!
He (BB) will work things out as needed.

Windmill you need to learn to relax.

Don't worry chocolatelabs I'll ask him for you. Hell I'll be giving him my portion for the buyout too.

Do we need to RSVP to anyone or just show up???? I don't want to get there and find out the opposite. Things should be real interesting now.

Dammit, I'll be in Houston that week. Maybe we can meet each other in passing and I can have my own question and answer.

Double Talkin' Jive...

Yes. RSVP if you can just to help out with planning. Call Scooter at number listed above.

The question will be asked and the question will not be answered.

I'm curious...this is still happening right????? It is most likely going to be very interesting.

Was wondering the same thing

Well, did it happen or did Byrne have to miss it?

Yes he showed. Unfortunately media showed up too so his comments were extreamly censored. No big announcements but I do have a newfound respect for Bill Byrne.

Never having met the man before, I don't think that we could have been more personable. I really enjoyed his presentation. His demeanor is very relaxed, seemed to be very honest adn forthcoming about his expectations for various athletic programs. He answered every question that was asked of him. Altough he is a pro a steering the conversation to the topics that we wanted to talk about (namely anything except football).

He seems to have a VERY good grasp on what it takes to bring success to College Station in all sports. He talked about the effort being made to host more high school events on the campus. Sounds just as put out about the whole VIP thing as the rest of us, but also indicated that all of the NCAA "infractions" were secondary and nothing to worry about.
