We have to buy tickets to tailgate down in Austin?

Same as every year at UT.

:\

The ticket office called and asked if I wanted to buy a raffle ticket this year (since I am sucker and buy them every year). I told them that I think it is rigged and I am not a high dollar Denton lawyer and that means I have no chance, so I am not going to buy one. He said I could come up there on drawing day to see that they draw it out of a hat.. I asked if I could look at every ballot as it goesn't into that hat.

I bought my ticket last month or so when they first called about it. It's a sweet deal I would love to win.

JohnDenver -- trust me, that thing is NOT rigged! Why?? Because I'm not only a client, I'm also a winner. (OK, maybe not the best riff off the Hair Club for Men commercial but I tried my best).

Anyway, before last year and the "high dollar Denton lawyer" winning it, little ol' me won the initial Regal Eagle raffle & I wouldn't classify me as a high-dollar anything. When they called me to annouce I had won I was floored. (Y'know the usual "I've never won anything in my life. This is so COOL" kind of speech). Long story short, it was a BLAST!! Sure, I think UNT was initially apprenhensive about turning over their million-dollar bus to a bunch of fraternity guys in their late 20's & early 30's that loved to drink quite a few cold totties but everything couldn't have gone smoother!! (and we did behave ourselves ). It's a first class bus & I encourage everyone to buy tickets because, win or lose, it goes to a WORTHY cause.

If there's any rigging going on, it would be THIS year, if my name gets pulled out of the hat. They'd probably throw it back because if I won it again people would really start thinking it's rigged & they need to avoid that!!
