My next company conference will be in Austin. I'm willing to scout locations.Originally posted by nikuman View PostLadies and gents, if we're all going to meet up for this, I suggest we do it right. Those interested get tix together, those brave enough wear the vagina shirts, etc. TheBYUGuy and I probably live the closest, but I'll defer my knowledge of Austin to TBG and JeffL, as I've only been to Austin once. Still, with a few of us down here and/or knowledgable, we can probably find a great place for a pre/post game lunch/dinner, etc. We can also see if the Texas fans are as cool as the Sooner fans were (my guess: no, TBG and JL notwithstanding).

Well at least you know the joy of gathering with board friends at a great football venue. New Orleans must have been a lot of fun.Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostPersonally, I'd rather the Utes had a SUG championship than great times in some fun college town with Cuffers. Sorry. Just being honest!
BTW, thinking about your mockery of BYU's currently scheduled one-and-done with the 'Horns (to which you're warmly invited--unlike the Utes, BYU has actually won a game in Austin), I vaguely recall that Utah had a one-and-done scheduled at Texas for the '08 season but the Utes cancelled the game because Urban Meyer thought the game would be too hard. Imagine if they'd stuck with their original commitment and won the game. Then the Utes would have been playing for a national championship, not second place. But those who are faint of heart never know, in the end, the triumph of highest achievement, and, at the worst, if they fail, at least fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat, and are willing to settle for second place.
BTW, Texas and Notre Dame have visited SLC multiple times, each time on their way to Provo.

This is great news. Like all good Texans who attended BYU, I will be wearing the burnt orange and white but hoping that the margin of victory isn't too large.
Austin is one of my favorite places and should be a good time for all, regardless of the game's outcome.

I honestly have no idea what Lost is about but I know it's on TV.Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostI thought you were off spending more time picking your nose and watching Lost instead of coming here.
I have dry skin and I learned as a child that picking my nose led to far too many bloody noses. Ths board, my bad habit/guilty pleasure, is the equivalent of nose pickery for some. Can't seem to resist.
