On August 26-29 on the Arkansas River in Pine Bluff, AR. another member and myself will be representing Baylor University at the 2nd Annual ESPN College Smashmouth Bass National Championship. You can get the full press release at www.collegebass.com. It will be aired on ESPN2 and ESPNU and covered in the September issue of Bassmaster magazine. We are ranked 10th in the nation and are big favorites going into this tournament. However, my teammate and I might not be able to make it due to the lack of finances that Baylor is giving us, none at all to be exact. We are asking for any help possible. Those who contribute will be recognized on ESPN and given more sponsorship opportunities throughout the season. If you are interested please email me at tim_harrell@baylor.edu. please refrain from posting any negative comments.

Good luck man!!!! I hope you can get somebody to help you out. It sounds like a good cause and opportunity.

Rock Chalk Jayhawk!! I just couldn't resist. ;D

Somebody help Tim out. What an opportunity for him and somebody with an up and comming business.

Tim try contacting some big companies directly. Thay will be more willing to help you out if you do that.

Myself and a fellow Kansas State guy will be there representing our team as well.

Tim, you do know that everything is paid for by the Smash Mouth people right?  Car gas, boat gas, hotel, and food the ENTIRE trip is covered.  There should be hardly any out of pocket expenses.

ha, i sure as heck didnt, casey. No one told me anything like that. wish i woulda known that sooner instead of looking like an idiot on here. Still again though, we still dont have any sponsors at all and could use some patches to wear on tv. thanks for filling me in, casey.

lol

All of the info about what they cover is on the forum they set up for us.  I believe about our only expense for the entire trip will be a hotel for 1 night for prefishing.  They are paying hotel for the tournament nights but not prefishing.
