SAN MARCOS, TEXAS (April 15, 2009) The laughs will be on Vernon McDonald when the Texas State Athletics Department roasts the longtime Bobcat and former men’s basketball coach on May 9 at the Embassy Suites.
The celebration will be part of a fun-filled evening in which coach McDonald will unveil and then autograph copies of his recently written book about the life of Milton Jowers and several decades of Texas State basketball history. Jowers is a former Bobcat basketball and football player, who later served as Texas State’s head basketball and football coach, and later was the school’s athletic director.
The book signing begins at 6:00 p.m., and will be followed by a dinner at 7:00 p.m. that includes a group of all-star roasters.
Costs for the dinner and roast are $50 with proceeds benefiting the “T” Association. Seating is limited so the Athletics Department is asking those planning to attend to please RSVP by May 4 by calling 512-245-2210.
In addition, books will be on sale for $25 and sales benefit the Vernon McDonald men’s basketball endowed scholarship at Texas State.
