Weekly Austin Watch Party!

If we get a big enough party going ya never know how they will treat us. This is just the beginning.
 
I am a new user to this board. I usually use houstonprofootball.com, but I've been in search of watch party here in Austin. a guy by the name of HuttoKarl on the texans website boards told me to come here and find out what's up from BigWig or rickyb. I want to check it out, he was saying about needing to be put down on a list so that 3rd base knows how people are coming or something? Just wanting to get the details on how it works or do I just show up?

I used to go t Ringers whenever KEYE would punk us, but now they don't even play the Texans on a big screen which = no sound!

Let me know........thnx

Basically Bigwig as an email list and he sends out an email saing please respond if you going to be there. So if you send him a message (Which can be done by clicking his name and sending private message) with you email addy so this way you can be added to the list. One of the main reasons we chose Third base was because of the parking it has on location versus having to find it and or pay for it.

Hope to see you there.

Really? I didn't realize that. I didn't know there were pay parking sites on Sundays out there.

Welcome to the board, H-Town. Looking forward to seeing you on game days at Third Base! BRING YOUR TEXAN FRIENDS!
 
I would LOVE one of those K-Eye T-shirts. (Official home of the Houston Texans?) Someone ought to see about getting some made up!:shades:

Never been downtown on a sunday, ok well leaving on a sunday never arriving, but since they have there own parking it is a moot point.
 
We used to meet at the Saxon Pub for several years, where parking was not in issue at all, we never really did the downtown thing. Too bad they dont have the Ticket, that is why we are moving to 3rd base, The Saxon was one heckuva place to be for a Texans watching party.
Heck I even brought paraphanelia like a 7' Texan Blocker Blowup dude!
 
just emailed the prgramming director of KEYE......

"Clearly, our wish to support Texas sports franchises is out of line with our desire to please the largest number of local sports fans we can. Our response to this will be as it was last year – that is, to fairly cover both teams as best as we can. We will make our game choices as we go through the season and will publish our choices in the available programming guides.

Again, thanks for writing to KEYE, please feel free to contact us at any time."


-From your standard "screw you" email to Texans fans.......Doesn't look like you are fairly covering both teams now huh? You won't even give the hometeam a chance. Mad b/c Colt McCoy and the longhorns looked like crap against Arkansas state? Now we all fawn over VY again?!?!?!?!?!?"



hope he enjoys.........
 
Hello I am new to the board. I love that I am living in austin but I do not underside why i have time warner with 300 channels and the only thing I want to see will not be showing. I know everyone here is looking to go to third base. Also just want to let you know that there is another place here in austin that is really nice that also plays all the games with dirctv. They are located close to north austin at the intersection of burnet and 183. The place is called bagpipes and It hink they open at 11am. It is a hooters type and nice inside. Just though I would throw that out. I will probably try it out on sunday. :wherewill

It's pretty much been decided that our gatherings will be at Third Base. Only if you were here last month or so to help throw in suggestions. It's just a little too late to make a change, I'd think. Let's give Third Base a shot before we hang it up. Some of the guys have been in contact with their staff and have been making arrangements. Let's not let that work go to waste for those guys. Why don't you come hang at Third Base? Let's try and make this a large gathering of Texan fans! Make our presence known in Austin. This is how it starts.

Welcome to the board.
 
Yeah I live in Buda and ThirdBase is far enough for me to travel, I do not want to travel any further.
 
Cool sounds good. You will probably see me there too if they are going out of the way for Texan fans.Do you think there will be a big group of fans there, and if so do you think we will make the news on keye. I can see the headline now "real texas football fans go crazy downtown after opening season win and stand by for more news on your hometown hero Vince Young and what might be a season ending
:ouch:"

Keye VY #1 fan:bat:
 
I am also new to this board and will be there at Third Base on Sunday.

Does anyone know about teenagers being allowed? my son and daughter would also like to be there.

It is a family establishment. Family oriented, so bring the kids and the wife.

:fans:
 
I'll be there, and I'm bringing my wife and a friend.
Is there some kind of 'official' way we need to let whoever the TexansTalk/Third base liason know that we're coming? Or can we just show up Sunday?

Its been posted many times but here is the gist:
I have an email list of say 50 or so that have joined up in the past. I send out an email for a head count on wed. night. Then I post the head count in a thread entitled " XXXX vs Texans Austin Watch party", etc.
Rickb calls the bar and says we should have X amount coming.
We meet, cheer on the Texans, and enjoy the game! Send me a pm if you have not already.

You can just show up if you want but BigWig is putting a list togehter so we know how many people will be there so we can have tables set-up and together and such.

Soi send him a message and give him your email.

OR what he said!
 
This is it , the first game of our new and promising season. This is what we have been Jacoby Jonesing for all preseason.
We have a new home for our fan base and a nice little website and message for KEYE. In case you dont know our own "rockablilly" has put up a new website in defense of our continued woes to view games locally from our CBS affiliate KEYE 42, at www.keye42sucks.com
Make sure you visit it, and on to the roster. This email is posted at www.texanstalk.com and there you can post whether you will be there or not. I know alot of my list will be at the game but the group is growing and looking real good. This will be done every week around wed. night and then Rickyb will get the roll call and let the club know how many.
click here for info on the new home www.thirdbaseaustin.com
Looking forward to seeing you all and looking forward to going 1-0 after we remove the feathers from those Chiefs!
Oh and dont forget its Liberty White day so wear white!

I will be there. My first watch party without a bunch of cowgirl fans around me.
Lets give the chiefs a woopin :whip:
 
first of all let me say:

Nice work Orlando! The website is great!

I want you all to know that I used to work at KEYE for several years and I'm glad to see that you're all working so hard to try and get them to see it our way! I intend to send a personal message to Gary asking him to consider our side, but I want you all to understand that local television is not run by wizards or even rational people. It is a business run almost solely on "numbers". Flawed as it may be, the Nielson ratings are the sole source for television markets to judge their bill scale for advertising as well as programming. Rockabilly is right, it is indeed a flawed system. (i had no idea about the "locking out" of Hispanics... do tell) You must understand that much like the NCAA football rankings, flawed as it is, it is still THE SYSTEM that they use. KEYE has absolutely no loyalty what-so-ever to Vince Young or to the Houston Texans. They are loyal to their ratings, their bottom line their news "image" and their profit margin. I can promise you that as soon as the Texans start winning consistently and the ever indifferent Austinites start watching them instead of some team from tennesee with really ugly uniforms (including those non-hispanics with the Nielson boxes) KEYE will cover them, becasue that's what the ratings tell them to do.


There is a half full bright side to all of this. In the end wouldn't you all agree that the comradery of converging at a sports bar with a bunch of people who are just as passionate about our TEXANS as we, (you know the type, the ones that know who Chris White is) might in the end not be such a bad thing?

I cannot wait for the first road game, I will be in attendance. You can go ahead and mark me down on the roll call for that one! Furthermore, I'd hope that even when, yes WHEN keye finally does start showing the Texans that ya'll will continue to show up in force at the sports bar to root for our favorite team just the same.

we are, after all the diehards! we are the ones that have been following the team through the offseason, we were all there through the good and bad, lets stick together regardless of what "K-cheeze" (as we called it when I worked there) does.

I digress.

I will be in attendance at Reliant on Sunday so I will miss the tiny wooden stools at 3rd base. Someone please break one for me!

Go Texans!

Come on I know its only thursday, but with all the chatter y'all made on these boards I would think more of you would be there. I only have 3 so far that are going to the game, lets get this thing going y'all!
 
Thanks for putting all this together. I'm new to posting on the board, but have been lurking for a while. I'll be at the game (119N), but will make it to 3rd base next week. Do any of you Austin folks get together and tailgate at Reliant?

Dude thanks. I never lost faith, just lost my job, and had to go throught some tough times at home.
I am back and always will be a Texan fan, till I die, especially when I live in ATX and have to deal with the crackwagon and the flaming meatballs on tv.
I look forward to seeing all my old Blue Crew friends again soon!

Now lets bump this roll call up y'all!

Wig, you can either email me tomorrow at 12 noon, or I'll just get the count at that time.

Any and all are welcome at any time. I just use the count at 12pm Friday and communicate that to Third Base so they can prepare.

Rick
 
Mods, I would like this thread retired soon or renamed so we dont have too many people confusing it with " The Official game thread" if possible. Let me know what y'all think.
Rickyb I will look for your email, but not always doable at work, so thats why I setup the "game thread" for you to pull head count from there.
