February 2022 HF Tailgate - Tolbert's Chili Parlor - Grapevine TX

Book it Dano! Ok, I may of aged myself right there! Looking forward to it as always!

Can’t miss a Bowl of Red with a Tito’s chaser!

 

Yup, Dinner of Texas - A bowl of Red and a Lone Star.

 

I see a fair amount of 'public parking' on the map of the area...how much of it is safe?

Yes, it makes a difference on which vehicle I drive...I don't feel like walking from a hotel since it looks like the closest one is on the south side of the tracks (Hotel Vin).

 

mb,

There is a surface lot across the side street. While it appeared safe (we had no problems), one or more of us can always walk you to your car. HIC's muscles will scare anyone away, but if that fails, my caustic personality will quickly send them scrambling.

 

Walk? Sounds more like stumbling will be the mode of exit for many...after all, worsterman is buying

 

mb227, SabreHorn is correct. There's a public lot immediately south of Tolbert's. I've parked there before and had no issues at all. We'll see that you get back to your car safely.

 

mb,

I tried the stumbling act when I got to the blonde but Worster "saved" me. Fortunately her friend behind her "caught" me and "forced" me to sit down.

 

MB227:

Downtown Grapevine is a restored area, upscale, very safe. Been to Tolbert's many times.

Parking lot others described is accurate, is fairly large and well lit. I am a car guy and sensitive about where I park my sled. I have no concerns about parking there.

So, drive your Rolls Royce or the King Ranch Ford F-150 if you prefer! Either will be safe at Tolbert's and so will you!

One of us HF "Gentlemen" will walk you to your vehicle when you choose to exit. Promise.

So join us and let's party at Tolberts!

 

I like to encourage attackers, so stick with me.

 

OK brother, what are you driving? We need a pic.

Fixed that for you.

 

Found it!

A rare photo of WorsterMan and his precious “sled.”

 

Nope, that's Sabre!

 

HornFans and Gentlemen in the same sentence! What had this world come to?

 

Dang it! I get these rascals mixed up.

 

Yeah, especially if you include rapscallions like @WorsterMan, @horninchicago, @Horn2RunAgain, @SabreHorn, @LHABSOB, @theiioftx, @EDT, @HoffHorn, @NRHorn, @utahorn,
@HornHuskerDad, @ViperHorn, @Horn6721, , @Dionysus @Garmel
@CreakyHorn ....

Probably leaving some very deserving HF rascals off this list....

Get to Tolbert's on the 25th and fire up with fellow HF posters re: UT sports, Sark's recent recruiting sucesses, and good stuff in your life !!

 

EDT,

I only wish I had that much hair, plus you will NEVER see me in snake or lizard boots.

 

IF, if I ever had a sled like that, I would be dealing with a serious but good LATE life crisis!!!

 

My life is like the Rabbi in Caddysahck after getting struck by lightning.

 

Bill Murray- Grounds Keeper: Carl Spackler to Priest Golfer: "I would play through your Excellency, I dont think think the heavy stuff will come down for a while"!

 

I have said that to FOs while flying through heavy rain. The guys with blank stares, I can't trust.

 

Little early, but who among you brave rascals are willing to commit to attending?

 

Commit is such a loaded term...

 

In the words of Charlie Harper, "Commit only lasts until the next morning."

 

I think a bunch of us need to be committed.

Man, I remember when the days when HF would have already said that.

 

...depending on how last night went

 

I'm in. Really enjoyed the last one and looking forward to the 25th.

 

I might be close to a verbal commit, but am not ready to sign an LOI. BTW, what are the NIL opportunities for this gathering? I might be old, but I'm no uglier than I was in my youth. I think I might have some potential...

 

Creakys should starts.

 

Unless you weigh 280 lbs plus with less than 10% body fat or 200 pounds and run a sub 4.4 forty, your NIL chances are nil.

 

Academics official steps into the room and clears throat:

What was your HS GPA?
What was your SAT / ACT score?
