I hope they don't boo during the national anthem

If they do, it will be because they don't like / don't know Don Henley.

Oye oye

Why come is we even playing WKU at our new stadium? Didn't we build it so we could rotate between hosting Texas, Oklahoma, and LSU?

[Mo Green]

We will need the two video boards to sulute Mexia' s favorite daughter Anna N> Smith.

This is brilliant. There are literally thousands of small towns to salute. I can't wait for Fairfield day or Ponder day.

I think this is a bit that Lifer is doing.

At least, it better be. Otherwise, I want royalties or a consulting fee.

I'd ask for that anyway. It's not everyday you can exploit someone for money. Especially when it involves Mexia.

Edit: And, He took your jorb.

Well if Sam's in Fairfield will provide the food, that's fine with me.

And I would be glad to have a Ponder day, if this restaurant provides the food.

Seconded!

I usually time my trip home on the Sunday after a game so I can have dinner at Sam's. Great BBQ, CFS, and of course, pie!

My late dad met my late mother just ouside Mexia (muh'hay'uh) near its suburbian town of Shilo (out in the boonies--I do mean the boonies); of course, they were both in grade school at the time in the late 1920's.

And if we don't include Limestone County's county seat town of Groesbeck (home of the Goats) there could be yet another Indian uprising much like the one that took place near Mexia's Fort Parker on May 19, 1836, when Plummers almost became extinct. (No comments on that from the peanut gallery, please).

Truly thIs is a joke, right? Mexia and Groesbeck together are not exactly boom towns and also both are about 2 hours from Denton. North Texas alum/actor Joe Don Baker is from the Mexia/Groesbeck area. Maybe his special request for this promo? Uh, I seriously doubt that albeit he was at Hayden Fry's first game as North Texas coach because they had his name on the Texas Stadium jumbotron message board as a famous alum in attendance that evening.

I thought you'd be holding out for Athens Day

I don't know how THIS thread never made it into the Hall of Fame.

Free bowls of black eyed peas from our Athen's "Home of the Black Eyed Pea Festival" friends? ...add some corn bread and slice of one of those TAMU hybrid #?? sweet onions and you have a feast on your hands.

If indeed it's Mexia Day when WKU visits it must be because of HOFer John Love.

I wonder if he is still around and active with the letterman's association. I would love to have his autograph.
