Welcome and everybody to the flagship podcast. I am Chip Brown of Horns247.com joined by my esteemed colleagues at Horns247.com, the one and only Eric Henry, proud Tampa Catholic graduate, and the pride of Scranton, Pennsylvania, the one and only David Eckert.

Gentlemen, full disclosure, it is Tuesday, April 14th. Hope everyone has their taxes ready to, ready to go out.

If you haven't sent them already already and it is the final week of

spring football so this Saturday rain or shine I guess we will have a fan day

fan day and an open football practice at Darrell K. Royal, Texas Memorial Stadium,

where Steve Sarkesian said today there will be about a 75 play scrimmage.

45 to 50 plays of those will be live, either tackling to the ground or thud.

And some ones versus ones, maybe not much, but some ones versus ones, according to Steve Sarkisian.

Eric, how excited are you for Fan Day on Saturday?

And Eck, you're next.

Chip, if I may, this is where I will take an opportunity to our loyal Horns 24-7 viewers,

Horns 24-7 readers and a flagship podcast viewers and listeners. If you would like to meet members of the Horns 24-7 staff will be available because just like y'all

will be sitting in the stands. So I can't promise you we'll all be together. We probably

be scattered out at different spots. Maybe we can all cluster and get into one spot. But hey,

if you want to meet us, we'll be there. That's the first takeaway. I say that jokingly, Chip, because you say,

well, I mean, serious, but you say rain or shine. I just took a look at the phone. There's a 70%

chance as of today, April 14th, Tuesdays, April 14th, a 70% chance of a thunderstorm at 11am in

the greater Austin area. So will we actually get a game in,

a scrimmage in a practice, and we shall see? If in the event we do get that in,

what am I looking forward to? Well, I will look forward to the 70 to 75 plays worth of scrimmage as you mentioned

Steve sarkesian said some of those will be thud tempo for those who don't know thud tempo is just

you rap but you don't tackle you don't bring to the ground um I I said no play no thud no play
