EAA Tailgating!
It’s that time of year again and time for yet another team of Engineering Alumni to cheer on another team of football players. We really need to thank them for giving us an excuse to get back together with old friends. Yup, it’s tailgating time!!!

Mike Lacy is in charge of the operation this year and we have our block of season tickets. With home games nearly every weekend in September it is going to be one cookout after another. Stop by the pavilion outside of the stadium and check it out. Tailgating starts about two hours before kickoff. We will be teaming up with the Houston Alumni Association for the Rice game, so stop by and look for the HAO tent in the parking lot.
