non-players have had the chance to play and/or go to the dinner. One I went to had Bill Mallory, Pat Culpepper, Jerry ippoliti, and Jerry Pettibone returning to say a few words. Culpepper was always the hit as a result ofhis jokes. I heard Charlie Saddler was coming this year. Hard to believe, we'll see.

I wonder if Chucky will wear his OU work-out gear?

I am very proud to be a part of this event! See you on the 31st!!!

Any idea if they are trying to make this a more exclusive thing? Maybe eventually just open to former players, coaches, administrators and higher up HAF donors?

Exclusive? its a party a fundraiser - You hope you need -2- days for the event or-3- courses.

I go by the thought that if the event sells out every year then they are not charging enough. Charge more and keep it on the smaller side so the higher donors get some exclusivity for their donation to HAF.

Just so it is clear, the Novak-Brigham golf outing is ex football player only/staff. Sorry if anybody was led on. The hope is that it becomes open to any alumni in the future.

Im glad it is back at seven bridges an amazing golf course and across the street from Tilted Kilt :). Should be a great time, looking forward to seeing everybody and of course winning the outing.

40 cases of free beer will be there as well. Stay thirsty my friends.

Go Huskies!

So who the heck cares if there isnt any public announcement about this???

Couldn't tell ya. I hope that the Rod Carey outing sells out and I hope they market the heck out of that.

I would absolutely love to play in the Carey outing but the scheduling isn't great for me. I live in the western burbs and I figure I wouldn't be home until 8-9pm. Obviously you can't drink too much due to the drive and the next day being Monday. Would be great if it was on a Friday or Saturday. Either way I hope it sells out.

LOL and now its announced that the Brigham Novak Gridiron Classic is now open to the public.

Quite honestly I think they were holding off any announcement of this until today as its the last weekday before the Fatty's golf outing.
