Hey Easy Street Tailgaters:
The Chaps (7-0) and Hyline took care of business vs. Hayes on Friday night. LT is next; also unbeaten, after putting 70 points on the board against Austin High. It has been seven years since Westlake beat Lake Travis on a rainy night in Austin. Nick Foles was a senior quarterback, Justin Tucker a junior wide-receiver / kicker, and Ryan Swope a sophomore defensive back! If we go down again this year, it is not going to be the fault of the Hyline and Easy Street Tailgaters.
Plans are in full force for a ‘Beat Lake Travis Stadium March' beginning on Easy Street and culminating outside of the Westlake locker room, where we will greet the team coming off of the field after warm ups. We are going full-on William Wallace Braveheart March complete with bagpiper and the first ever assembled Easy Street Tailgate Pep Band. Get your face paint ready, make your signs, bring your flags and your musical instruments (kazoos, cowbells, what-ever-you-got) . . . BRING IT AND BE READY TO MAKE SOME NOISE!
For this week only, we are moving our tailgate start time up to 4:30PM, so all can be nourished and ready for the march. Please contribute a heavy appetizer or sub sandwich type item, plus what you would like to drink.
At 6:00PM, we will move to the Easy Street cul-de-sac to practice cheers and begin our spirited and loud march to the stadium. We plan to stop by the football parents tailgate (next to People’s Pharmacy) and then proceed to the stadium parking lot (across from the locker room), where we will greet the Westlake team when they come off the field from warmups. Then into the stadium in time for the traditional Patton March as the team breaks the banner and takes the field. I’m telling you, you do not want to miss this one!

Game tickets can be purchased here, beginning at 8AM on Monday morning. In past weeks, the stadium seating chart has been misleading. Seat numbers are reversed on the map. In other words, the seats that appear closer to the 50 yard line, are actually on the opposite end of the row. We typically sit in Section C.
