Weekly Update (11/10/00)
College football season is winding down, which means a busy month for Executive Vice President/General Manager Charley Casserly and the Texans' scouting staff. Casserly visited Texas A&M and the University of Miami this week before returning to Houston Friday for facility and scouting meetings. He plans to attend tomorrow's game between top-ranked Oklahoma and the 24th-ranked Aggies in College Station. Next week, Casserly will continue his Big 12 tour with a venture to Nebraska. Leonard Shapiro of The Washington Post featured Casserly and the Texans in his weekly NFL notes.

"We're looking to extend our fan base all over southeast Texas and Austin is a vital part of our push," Casserly says. "Football is a very important part of the Austin community. We can offer their fans the best stadium in this country, a new beginning and a team that they can grow with." McNair is coming off a successful weekend at the Breeders' Cup in Louisville. His filly Tout Charmant took second in the Filly & Mare Race last Saturday. Tout Charmant can now boast six wins and nine second-place finishes in 21 career starts. Next year's Breeders' Cup Championships will be at Belmont Park. More than 400 women attended the Houston Texans' first Football 101 Workshop for Women this past Saturday at Foley's in downtown Houston. The event was hosted by KTRK/ABC-13's Debra Duncan and KIKK 95.7 FM's Lisa Dent. In a workshop setting, the group learned about life in the NFL, the history of football, strategy, equipment and officials' signals. Texans Executive Vice President/General Manager Charley Casserly was the featured speaker, joined by Hall of Fame safety Ken Houston, former Oilers wide receiver Haywood Jeffires, Texans Director of Pro Scouting Chuck Banker, Associate Director of Pro Scouting Bobby Grier, Associate Director of Pro Scouting Miller McCalmon and former NFL referee Red Cashion. KTRK taped the event and will air a half-hour Debra Duncan Show devoted to Football 101 Saturday, Dec. 23, at 6:30 p.m. --- You are currently subscribed to texansnews as: GWHALLE@ENRON.COM To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-texansnews-179392T@newsletter.houstontexans.com
