First-Ever Aztex Game Saturday
If you're following the Austin Aztex at all, you probably know their season officially starts Saturday. The first-ever game of the Austin Aztex is an away game, against the El Paso Patriots.
As noted in this fine write-up in the Chronicle, El Paso finished in 2nd place in the Mid South Division last year, so they may be a tough opening opponent.
Although I would have loved to make the 16-hour round-trip drive to El Paso, I'm afraid I'm going to have to miss seeing this auspicious moment in person. However, there is a possibility that some loyal Aztex supporters will manage to get an Internet video stream of the game hooked up to a TV at Mother Egan's on Saturday night.
Having that hook-up is not a certainty. In fact, having a video stream of the game at all is not a certainty. However, Mother Egan's having plenty of ice-cold Harp lager is a certainty. Hope to see you there!

Afraid I have a prior engagement this time, but I look forward to hearing how it goes.

Rachel!
First home game is the 10th.
From what I've picked up listening to sports talk radio, the lAstros are living up to your nickname for them, and the Rangers are crapping out as well. In fact, the disease seems to have hit the Express and the Longhorns as well!

And to follow up for the stranger wandering through that's not following along on BigSoccer, El Paso is definitely webcasting the video, and Nick Barbaro has volunteered to bring a laptop.
So, as long as we can successfully work out the technology, we're good to go!

But more laptops (just in case) and the knowledge about how to hook it up to a TV would be a big plus.
Maybe I wasn't clear -- what I meant that I can't go to El Paso to see the game in person. But I will absolutely be at Mother Egan's. For the first pitcher at least!! ;-)
Rachel, hope to see you there. As Eric said, the first home game is next weekend, against the also-brand-new Houston Leones. Full schedule is here.
