Saturday's BRB Madden Tournament: T-Shirts Are In!
For real. I'm looking at a box of 'em right now. With that, I can say with certainty that BRB t-shirts will be available for purchase at the inaugural BRB Madden Tournament at 360 Sports Lounge on Saturday. There are a limited amount of t-shirts available, so get there early--the event starts at 2 p.m. CDT--to increase your odds of purchasing a shirt that makes people look at you and say, "What in the world is a Battle Red Blog?" with envy. For those of you who can't be at 360 (or just get there too late to buy a shirt), I may order more shirts for future events (Texans-Niners watch party on August 27th, perhaps?) if there's enough of a demand.
The current list of attendees for Saturday afternoon's soiree is after the jump. I'd love to see more folks commit to coming; even if you don't want to play Madden, come by to hang out for a bit. It'll be good for a laugh, and you would be doing some good for the kids.
If your name should be added to this list, please let me know in the Comments; I want to get the bracket finalized tomorrow if possible.

Re: Shipping
I’m thinking about it. Need to figure out what it’d cost to do it and set up a PayPal account. I’ll probably look into that in the next week or so.

Don't make my fly to your house and murder you and steal all the shirts
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view--until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.
yea i was going to ask the same thing.
so when do you think you will know something? Also when do we get to see pics of the shirts? Please tell me you got sizes in 2xl and above.
Figure out the weight in the package
With a PayPal account you can print mailing labels with postage online – saves about $.25 per package

Looks like I'll have to take advantage of this
I’m out of town this weekend and will miss out on the good time. I’m not a gameplayer, but I would have joined in if there was a novice bracket. But, I’ll miss the good times and camaraderie. Hope it;s all good!

There's 15 if I added correctly
So if there’s a first round bye it may be best to put me on that if my Internet doesn’t work. Not trying to be unfair just trying to not slow the tournament down.

Tim,
I’m going to withdraw my name from the tournament.

Instead of Madden 11, how about NCAA 12?

Danieal Manning also picked off Matt Shaub.
Wait, interceptions, what is that? I’ve never heard of that happening before on this team….
i feel like
Matt Shaub will take the next step and become clutch this year. He showed it in the first half of the season last year, but lost it in the second half. He has gotten better every year since he became a starter and this shouldn’t be an exception
Hopefully he'll make that jump
He has progressively gotten better, I’ll admit that. Hopefully injuries does not get to him. It’s always nice to have Owen Daniels as his security blanket especially in the start of the season so he should be better this year than last.
Seriously
Is there an official BRB shirt yet? There needs to be, one we can buy online too for those of us who aren’t nearby. Even a polo and/or sweatshirt would be nice.
I wish we could hire coaches without "having grown up in Houston" being a job requirement.

BUT I may have found some leverage.
I won’t be playing in the tourney though as I suck at Madden right now.
