Report
From Newsletter #6:
Our football team faced Oregon Ducks (#10, 2nd Pac 12) in the Alamo Bowl on December 31 HKT. The game was the last one where our team was coached by Mack Brown. Last year, we went to the same bowl game with the same regular season record (8-4) and faced an opponent which was also ranked higher than us and was from the same state (Oregon State in 2012). So we were hoping that our team would also come on top to be the winner of the Alamo Bowl this season.
We originally planned to host a live watching party for ourselves, but the venue manager had difficulty to staff a morning shift of a holiday eve, so we did something even better. We joined the party of University of Oregon Alumni Association in Hong Kong to have the party at Trafalgar on
Lockhart Road. Despite the two groups of alumni supported different teams, the atmosphere was friendly and all participants enjoyed being there. Perhaps the Ducks enjoyed it more because their team came on top, but for true Longhorn football lovers like those who were there treasured the time supporting the team together in any case.
Invitation
The football team of UT (8-4, 2nd Big 12) is going to face Oregon (#10, 10-2, 2nd Pac-12 – North Division) in the Alamo Bowl on December 30 at 6:30pm EST. The game will be the last game that Texas is coached by Mack Brown. Last year Texas went to the same Bowl Game and beat the more highly ranked Oregon State. This year we have the same regular season record (8-4) to enter the same bowl game to play a team which is also more highly ranked and is also from the same state (Oregon). Certainly we want the winner to be the same!
It will be New Year’s Eve HKT, so you will have the opportunity of having 2 New Year’s Eve party on that day: one in the morning with your fellow alumni and another at night with your other friends or family. What’s more? We will actually be joining our opponent’s alumni to watch the game together! So it is really going to be fun!
