The Angelina County Texas A&M Club is hosting this year's annual Aggie-Longhorn Shindig dinner and golf tournament on Tuesday, Nov. 20 at Crown Colony Country Club in Lufkin. Jackie Sherrill is playing in the tournament and will be the guest speaker for dinner. Each year, the Aggies and Longhorns get together for a friendly dinner before the A&M/ t.u. game to show good sportsmanship. The sponsorship rotates each year between the two rivals, and this year it is our turn again to host! The money collected for the dinner, raffles, and silent auctions goes toward the scholarship fund. We will also be selling tickets from now until then for our popular “gun raffle”. You can buy tickets at the dinner the evening of the event. Raffle tickets are $1 each.

Just got back from the shindig, had a great time. Wife and both boys had picture made with Coach Sherrill. The guy really took time to talk with my oldest son and signed 5 caps and the picture frame for our photo. Lots of people turned out and had a ton of fun. Congratulations to the Angelina County A&M club for putting on a terrific shindig!

Did Jackie share any thoughts about our football program? who he would like to see coach? etc?

It was a great time had by all. The thing I enjoyed most was that the ratio of Ags to Horns was somewhere along the lines of 3 to 1.

I asked him what he thought about the possibility of a new couch and he said it had to be someone that understood A&M. He really wanted to say more but deferred. From the quotes after Coach Sherman was hired I think he approved!
I also sent the photo of my family with Coach Sherrill as our Christmas card this year, got lots of calls and Whoops!
