UNT vs. FIU Football Watching Party

UNT 90 Grad · July 30, 2011

We've been working with Rudy's for a while to get things in order to do this. The Collin County Chapter of the UNT Alumni Association is sponsoring a football game watching party on Thursday, September 1st at the new Rudy's "Country Store" and Bar-B-Q in Allen next to the new Cabela,s at the Villages of Allen. We'll be watching the Mean Green take on the SBC Champion Golden Panthers of Florida International live.

If you live in the North Dallas or Collin County area and don't want to drive to Denton to watch the game on the video board, this is the event for you. If you want to watch the game in an air conditioned environment while enjoying a cold beer and great barbeque with fellow Mean Green fans, this is the event for you.

The folks at Rudy's are great! They had a new wireless access point installed in their event room at the Allen location just so we could broadcast Internet fed UNT games on their big HD TV. It helps that Rudy's has multiple UNT grads on their management staff and is already a proud sponsor of UNT athletics.

A special thanks to Grant.UNT for helping to pull this off! More to come!

Sept 1 is a Thursday. I am hoping that was just a typing error...

Fixed. Just a typing error. Thanks for the quick catch. The game and event are on Thursday, not Saturday.

Cool, I live in Allen. May have to try and swing by if I can off work earlier enough to make it home before the start of the game.

I live really close to that Rudy's, I will either be there or watching with friends in Denton.

Anyone have any thoughts for a Fort Worth location? Not sure how difficult it is for a sports bar to show an internet-fed game. 90 Grad, if you have any advice, shoot me a PM.
