I read in the DMN the other day, that the 2006 East-West Shrine Game will be played in the Alamo Dome.

(as long as I can remember...it was played in the SF Bay Area--usually in Palo Alto).

That's good news if we have a player in that game. Maybe some of our fans could see the game in person.

First of all, we've had players in the game before. ("Booger" was the most recent one). And that was when it was on the West Coast.

So why now that the game is gonna be in Texas....are you so sure we wouldn't have a chance in Hell of having a player in that game?

Dennis Franchione and Houston Nutt will be coaching next years game so I think they are close enough to Denton to hear their fair share about players from NT.

I'd say Cobbs has a chance to play as well as Covington.

SUMG, isn't that the all star game that Gil Brandt helps pick the players?

I think you're right about those two, Eagle 96.

Also, usually these "all-star" games, tend to try and have a lot of kids from the host state's colleges, just to help draw in the locals. Therefore, I think the fact that it's gonna be in Texas, would help our kids' chances.

Also, Plumm....Gil Brandt has helped picked the rosters before. Don't know if he still does it or not.

H-town....you may be thinking of that Army sponsored all star game, for the greatest senior high school players. That is played in the Alamo Dome.....and features players like Adrian Peterson (when he was a senior). I'll agree with you there.....the chances of us ever having a player in that game....are very, very slim.
