Thank you.

Those that didn't make it out today missed out on good food and a good time. Keep an eye out for more events like this in the future.

What was the turnout like?

What was the turnout like?

I'd say around 50 people. Pretty intimate, but it filled the room we were in.

Any news to share? Perhaps a summary for those of us who could not make it?

Let's not use "intimate" and "helmet" in the same conversation anymore, mmkay?

No uniform talk.

I didn't take notes, do take it easy if I'm a bit off on anything. He said he'd talk slowly for the Texas alums in the room. Said he expects baseball in the 2016-17 season. Said we are the 3rd largest university in the state and around 25th in the country. Said we are graduating 80% of our athletes. Talked about our OSU and TT wins in the Pit. Showed pics of much if the athletic facilities. Big donation coming soon for baseball. Said he has a pet project to get an indoor facility in the middle of the tennis complex. Said that if people in Plano think Denton is far away, they must not go to Dallas much.

That's about all I can remember. Sorry for the scatter shooting.

Thanks for the info! Good to hear baseball is still actively being pursued.
