That's all I am saying on that one.
Maybe we could schedule it as a day game??

The playoffs are so watered down. When you have 3-7, 4-6, and 5-5 teams making it that's a joke. However, I'm glad these graduating players can say, "we made the playoffs!" They are playing the mammoth and dominating Eagles. I don't see anyone stopping Allen this year.
The playoffs never start until the third round...ever. But, it just means we get more games to watch them play and the band, etc. perform.

Are you sure about the game time? I think it may be at 7:30. Has anyone ever taken DART to Fair Park?

You would need to transfer downtown to use DART.
I have parking available downtown along the DART line so I may go down that way but I think for the average traveler from Allen, start rummaging through the change drawer for the $10 to park.

Getting to the Cotton Bowl via Dart will be no problem Friday night. Just remember, there are fewer trains in the late evening.

I think the HOV lanes will be open by then. Also there is a good chance of rain Friday so that might complicate things a bit.

I am happy the kids get to play in a storied venue, but I find it hard to believe event organizers thought it was a terrific idea to send 20,000 plus HS football fans down to Fair Park the same day that 50,000 people are going to be downtown for the 50th anniversary commemoration of the Kennedy Assassination complete with lots of street closings and extra security.
Recommend leaving lots of time, choose some alternate southbound route that runs EAST of Central and approach Fair Park from the east (along with all the folks from Mesquite of course.)
Go Eagles!

I may have to sit this one out (a rarity for me). This week has been incredibly difficult and the offering of a telecast may be the final decision point.

It should be real messy as well, the field is natural grass. There won't be much left of it after our game Friday and 2 games on Saturday.

Here's the end of a conversation Matt Wixon had with the Rockwall coach (plays Saturday) about the field:
I asked Rockwall coach Rodney Webb about what shape the field might be in after Allen and Horn play. His joking reply:
“We’re worried how that field is going to be after the Allen band is out there,” he said.
The Allen Escadrille, of course, is enormous.

Uhhg!!! Now the engine literally fell out of my car. Shearing off the brake system and killing power to the wheels. That was fun while driving up I-35 at 65 Mph. Good thing I know a thing or two about emergency driving.
At this point if I go to the game I'll probably be struck by a meteor. And I would not want to ruin the chances for the football team getting to state.

I noticed this morning while driving to work that the HOV lanes will be closed through the 24th so plan accordingly.

It's not showing on my DVR yet either for FIOS but if you go to TXA21 website and view the program grid it does appear there.

Any confirmation of rumors that winner of Allen/Horn and Woodland/RoundRock will face off next Saturday, the 30th, at 2:00 down in Waco (Floyd Casey)??
