Cobrduke,
First of all welcome. I guess after this coming weekend. You will figure out really nobody is in charge. If you want to thank someone, thank every one you meet for coming to the event. It's really the people who make this event special. The fluff is part of the fun and keeps everyone laughing. Since you are an Aggie I can't believe you haven't pee'd on an Electric fence. No offense to the Aggie faithful of course.
You will need to go tothe Houston Yaho site and register with them get connected. I think Dennis Mosley(Another Aggie) helped create that user group. The email is at
Houstoncobraclub@yahoogroups.com If you are going to run with the Houston group you better get a think skin. They are all joksters and you will get to meet them Saturday night as they host the tail gate.
As for me I will be wearing a big smile and something that has a Cobra on it.
Gregg H
