Returning To The Homeland

CMJ · November 7, 2007

I'm sure many of you know already, but i will be flying in from the City of Angels on Friday thru next Thursday. Since moving here late 2001, I've mostly been an internet fan. Despite rolling thru the DFW area on acouple of occassions since - this will be my first time watching the Football team since Homecming of 2002 and my first NT basketball games since Trilli's last season.

I'm looking forward to meeting lots of you from the board, and reconnecting with those I know already. I'll be with Emmitt on Saturday if you want to say hello.

Oh, and thanks goes out to stebo for the Navy tickets and SUMG for offering to entertain me for a day or two while I'm in town.

I would like to try and arrange for you to also get to fire Boomer during the walk over for old times sake. This should be a tradition for our Talon alumni to take part in for the future.

You mean I get to scream out "Fire in the hole" again? Awesome! :lol:

Rick, I'd been meaning to ask....what's with the all female cannon crew? Was it intentional or did it just happen to work out that way? I normally don't think of women and heavy artillery at the same time.

The 'all female' cannon crew was an intentional Recruiting tool by FFR!

By the way...Boomer is L-O-U-D!

Who can resist the wonderful combination of women and guns?

Kind of scary isn't it? However, my wife would love to fire off the cannon sometime......only she'd prefer that it have a projectile in it. :blink:

OT: I can think of a couple days where I would avoid a woman with a gun.

Is it normal to wake up in the middle of the night and your wife be standing over you holding a gun?

Based on experience, I would say yes.

You picked the perfect weekend to come back for sure with the biggest home game in years and the banner raising....add the fact FFR is going to let you run the cannon and you get to spend all day with SMUG, that's trip well worth the money.

It killed me last year to miss all the hoopla with the Tournament appearance. I couldn't miss our 1st banner in 20 years! With the Oklahoma State game so soon afterwards I knew I had to stay for it too(hence why I leave Thursday).

The Navy game was honestly icing on the cake.

But this time you won't be screaming it in the doctors office.

No delays in LAX or DFW right now. You flight is currently showing "on-time" and currently scheduled to depart from Terminal 4, gate 42B.

Expect some choppiness on climbout and some moderate turbulence out over Eastern Cali....the ride should be good after that.

Have a good flight and a great time in Denton!

Wow...talk about service! I have turbulence - scares the crap out of me. But at least I'll know where to expect it! Thanks Justin.

Nothing to worry about man. Another look shows the turbulence reports coming from smaller private jets and commuter turboprops. Shouldn't be anything for a bigger birdie like the Boeing 757.
