Well fellas, was not the turn out most were hoping for....but I said from the start I didn't care if 5 or 500 showed up. All I wanted to do is let the players know there are fans that support them... I would say about 40 people showed up.
Oh well, off to Dallas to watch the Tigers kick arse....and party my arse off. If any of y'all are going to the block party on mckinly (sp?) Street, get ready to party hard! See y'all there!

Tough crowd. Not what I'd hoped for, but Thanks for your support. Now let's get on to bidness in Cowboy Stadium. You'll have plenty of supporters there. Geaux.

Just got out here and there is a ton of people and they are still flowing in. Should be a good time and I'm hearing they are going to give stuff away here shortly.

Well, with only 40 people showing up did everyone get something?

I was also really glad I went. A lot of the players rolled down their windows and smiled at us.

I think the mission was accomplished despite the lower-than-expected turn-out.

JJ drove up and we were like, "Ummmmm..." it caught us off guard, but we cheered anyway, haha.

Here's a pic of the media:

They tried to spin it into a negative story by interviewing some of us and asking things like, "Do you think this disappointing turnout has any indication of what this season will be like??"
We just laughed. How stupid.

Sorry, made it up to get people to come out. I guess I failed miserably.

You left after like 10 minutes, that's why you didn't see any players.
