    It cost 15.00 for me because they charge 10 dollars for a 5 dollar purse for shipping and handling, but i just seen the amazon one and it looks really good thanks again babhorn.
    Thanks im going to a game next year this is very helpful so i can find a nice longhorn themed purse.

    maybe because of the following?
    Large bags are prohibited, though.

    I thought it was kinda of strange as well but, at this point, I am not curious enough to do more than check the VB fan guide.
