Dear readers,
It's another big weekend Bryan College Station, Texas. The entire Texas A&M University community is on watch for the announcement that Heisman Trophy candidate Johnny Manziel won the prize. There are Heisman watch parties scheduled around the area. The Association of Former Students is hosting a two-hour Heisman watch at the Clayton Williams Jr. Alumni Center. The free event begins at 6 p.m. featuring Texas A&M President R. Bowen Loftin, Aggie Yell Leaders and Reveille VIII.
In addition, 3,000+ runners are converging on the Brazos Valley to attend the BCS Marathon and Half Marathon, which begins early Sunday morning. The race course will snake through the streets of Bryan, College Station and Texas A&M, causing several detours and road closures. Area residents should plan their church of shopping routes carefully.
There are several maps and lists of BCS road closures. The BCS Marathon website has two helpful links. First, the Spectator's Guide has an route map of the course as well as a road closure document with a few more details.
Please be respectful of the runners (and the money they are bringing to our area) by planning ahead and taking your time. Many of these folks have trained for months and invested considerable funds in this race and we want everyone to have a pleasant experience.
This year the BCS Marathon benefits three local charities:
Down Syndrome Association of the Brazos Valley
Many thanks to the organizers, participants and residents for making tomorrow a great success.
Blue skies,
