Thanks, looks like a great event, but I have to ask.. whatever happened to Bill H? A somewhat controversial guy who ran this thing "forever?"

I’m glad you brought this up and am happy to clarify! That is not our group. A few years ago, the Alumni Association and TAF began efforts to consolidate the two groups, so to speak, by creating a joint membership type program as they recognized the confusion people had between the two groups. However, there are still a few TAF chapters and I believe their group is one of them. My understanding is that Bill Hulsey is no longer their president. I have reached out to their new president and hopefully we can meet to clear some things up.

Also, to clarify...you do not have to be an alumnus or member of the group to join and/or attend our events. We of course encourage everyone to take part in the joint membership and join as your $50 annual fee ($35 to the national association and $15 to our local group) comes with a lot of benefits and incentives...but all are welcome. We recognize there has been some confusion between the two groups in Jackson, and I hope this solves it. Happy to answer any other questions people may have regarding our group and its efforts!

We will be hosting view-ins at our usual venue, Capitol Grill, for the Miami, Auburn, Florida and Arkansas games and hope to soon have more events planned for the fall.
