    150K fans, that's amazing for a football game. Some of those people are going to be a long way from the field though, I hope they bring field glasses!

    Are you and Cindy going to make the trip or watch it on the Big Screen?

    I will be in Tennessee on a motorcycle ride but it is my niece's birthday on that date so I will be in Murfreesboro. 3800 mile round trip with my brother joining me in Murfreesboro. We go from there to Milwaukee and back to Murfreesboro. I will head back to Austin when we get back. 1200 miles with Jim and 2600 solo

    Cindy will be home and recording it for me to watch when I return if I am unable to see it on the road.

    Tom, you're my hero. :D You're doing what I dreamed of doing when I was a single young man out of college. Never got around to it.

    You were relying on the availability of "round tuits" and they are extremely rare. Every once in a while, you just have to grab onto a square one and go for it! 8) 8) 8)
