Last chance DIS Dad's. Tomorrow evening is the event. I have 10 confirmed
commitments listed below. If we can get six more surprise attendees I make my
self appointed goal to have all 16 teams playing tomorrow evening taken.
Again, if you are on the fence and want to bring a friend/relative/neighbor
that also might like a night out with hoops, bring them along. We have room.
I plan to post at McFadden's in Addison (4050 Belt Line Road- between Midway
and Marsh) at about 6 for the first game. My mobile is 214-929-6283. Feel
free to call (actually text might me better since it could be noisy) if you
have questions or to announce your arrival time.
Come find me when you arrive and pick out your team name. If you don't like
your team and their game has not started, you may pay $1 to throw it back in
for a new team. As in all made up games of this sort, rules may vary and are
subject to change after I finish my second beer = ).
Looking forward to it.

Let the madness begin! Another reminder note of the upcoming gathering at
McFadden's in Addison (4050 Belt Line Road- between Midway and Marsh) this
Thursday. Games that will be a part of the "win a beer" event are as follows:
1 Louisville vs TBD 5:50pm
4 Michigan vs 13 South Dakota State 6:15pm
6 Arizona vs 11 Belmont 6:20pm
5 UNLV vs 12 California 6:27pm
8 Colorado State vs Missouri 8:20pm
5 Virginia Commonwealth vs 12 Akron 8:45pm
3 New Mexico vs 14 Harvard 8:50pm
4 Syracuse vs 13 Montana 8:57pm
You don't have to be there at the start of the early games but you will have to
be there before they end if you draw one of those teams from the hat. For
example, you could show at a little after 7pm pull a name from the hat and if
it is Louisville and that game ends 10 minutes later, you will have won your
free beer.
First come first serve on drawing a name so the better you chances of getting a
high seed if you get there early. We have 10 commitments so I hope some of you
are still kicking around the idea as we have room. Let me know if we have any
late joiners by emailing me at mbeech82@xxxxxxxxxxx. Looking forward to it.

With one week to go before the event we are half way (8) to the goal of getting
16 people to the event. Here is a new and improved offer for those you you
still on the fence. Since this is just for fun and no real DIS business is
being conducted, bring a friend. A co-worker, a neighbor, a best buddy-
doesn't matter. If that gets you to the event, all the better.
We will reserve the 16 teams for DIS Dad's but if we run short of dad's, we can
let in a few friends and still have some fun. If this gets you there, just
remember to email me directly at mbeech82@xxxxxxxxxxx letting me know and if
you are dragging someone with you. Let's focus Gentlemen! Game day is just a
week away!

Gentlemen,
Early returns have us six strong commitments for the March Madness "pick a
team, win a beer" gathering. Still need to get to that magical 16 or more so
that all teams are taken. Short of that, I will keep all the remaining teams
in the hat and win a lot of free beer and that does not look like it would end
well = ).
So I am back to pimping the event. If I get to 16 I come close to matching
pub crawl numbers and I think I win some sort of award for that! Go home
tonight and get permission from the Mrs and let's build this roster! Again you
can reply back to me directly at mbeech82@xxxxxxxxxxx with questions or
commitments.

DIS Dad's,
I believe I have found a suitable location for the March Madness watching
gathering on Thursday, March 21st. Let's try McFadden's in Addison (4050 Belt
Line Road- between Midway and Marsh). They seem to have the requisite number
of TV's and seems large enough to handle our group as well as others that will
be out for some hoop watching that night.
Thought it might be interesting once we find out what games will be played
between 6pm and 10pm to put all of the teams playing in that slot in a drawing.
When you arrive, your will be given an opportunity to draw a team out of a
hat. If that team wins their game, you win a beer of your choice.
Think of it. You could show up and pull out a #1 Seed who plays the #16
seed and you are all but guaranteed a free beer. Not bad for just showing up!
It appears they will be a total of 8 games played in that time frame
meaning a total of 16 teams. If we don't get 16 DIS dad's to attend, then you
will be allowed to throw your team back in the hat and choose another team for
$1.
Game times for the first set of games is likely to start 6-630 and the
second set of games 8-830. Games usually last 90 minutes so we could be all
wrapped up by 10pm.
So, now the time has come to see who took the advice and got their kitchen
pass stamped to watch some hoops on Thursday, March 21st for some comradery
with fellow DIS dads, watch some March Madness and as many as 8 of you enjoying
a free beer.
My goal is to convince at least 16 of you to post. We can still start
around 7pm since the first games won't end until 730. So, let's take our
first role call. Who is with me? You can just reply back to me directly and
let me know. and I'll send out an update here in about a week.

Hello DIS Dad's
The esteemed Ernie Cote asked that I organize a little something for the
Dad's club in March. And what better way to do that than watch the first night
of the NCAA College Basketball Tournament known as March Madness.
The first real day of games takes place on Thursday, March 21st. I figure
we can all saddle up on a bar stool somewhere pull out our office pool brackets
and watch some college hoops over a cold beer, cocktail or drink of choice.
Maybe even take it a step further and offer up a free drink of your choice for
anyone that gets all the games we watch that night correct on your office pool.
Anything that creates a little extra drama for us.
I still have to work out the details on a location but the way the games
usually flow we can target a 7pm start on March 21st. For now, if you are
interested, be sure to get the evening set aside on your family social calendar
and secure your kitchen pass from you bride for the night and I'll fill in the
details as we get closer. It should be a good time.
Mike Beecham- DIS Dad
