Planning watch parties outside of Texas?

[JesseMartin]

As we gear up for another round of "which games will actually be televised or streaming," I'd like to check in with everybody else and see if we can help each other out before things get rolling.

Who will be out and about for games and considering announcing it or something so that other people in the area can meet up?  I ask mostly because I know alumni that have moved pretty much everywhere, and if you're doing something, I may have someone to meet you.  Also, there's a new lady that was hired in the Alumni Association whose job will be mostly to help alumni like us who are so far away we're practically in foreign territory.

So...was it @beancountergrad03 who was set up in a tackle shop in CO or something like that, or am I thinking of somebody else?  And @UNTFan23, do you go back for games, or are you going to watch them (you're still in AR, right?)?  That's a good place to start...I have some alums I know in both states that may or may not come hang out with you if you set something up, but if I can get everybody in touch early enough, there's a better chance to increase your group.

Whoever knows people in AZ, send them my way.  I'm probably going to (finally) get something going down in Tucson to see what sort of response we get, so whether they're there or closer to me in Phoenix, I'll be glad to coordinate and meet up with everybody.  We have 2 locations in the Phoenix Valley that we alternate between, so if we grow enough, we might just start having a watch party at both so more people are involved with minimal driving.

Other thoughts?

Why can't I tag them?  Is that feature gone already?

you have to type the '@' and the start of their names and wait for the system to suggest them and then select the one member you want.

I haven't lived in AR since November 2009.

Well, there goes that one!  Haha.  Anybody else?

Sorry for the late response...been busy with a job change and a move.  Still in Colorado, but definitely not at a bait (or weed) shop. I'd love to meet up with some CO Mean Green fans for a watching party a few times this fall, but not sure how many of us there are up here.  Went to an alumni event up here several years back and seemed to be pretty well attended, but not sure how many of them were passionate about football. 

Even if there is only a handful of us, I'd be happy to organize informal watching parties at local establishments. FYI - I'm in north Westminster.
