Texas vs The Nation Football Game to be Played in North Texas

Blog· Entertainment· Freebies· Reviews· Suburbs

Texas vs The Nation FootballTexas vs. The Nations will be in North Texas for the first time ever. The all-star game will feature future NFL players in the form of college seniors from across the country playing their best to impress the scouts and coaches who are there to find next year’s pro football talent.

“I can guarantee that people will be watching the future of the NFL at this game,” said Kenny Hansmire, chairman of Texas vs. the Nation. “At least 97 percent of these players will sign NFL contracts after this game.” More than 250 NFL scouts will descend upon Allen the week of the game, ready to be the first to sign the next big pro talent.

What is Texas vs The Nation?

Texas vs. the Nation serves as a stage for professional scouts to evaluate prospects for the NFL and other pro football leagues and began as an idea to bring a sense of rivalry and teamwork back to the all-star arena.  Since 2006, more than 500 college players who participated in Texas vs. the Nation have been signed to NFL contracts.  Over the last five years, more than 100 players from this all-star game have been selected in the NFL draft. Current NFL stars who are alumni of Texas vs. the Nation include: Pierre Garcon, Washington Redskins; Lardarius Webb, Baltimore Ravens; and Johnny Knox, Chicago Bears. One of every ten players in the NFL have played in Texas vs. the Nation while college seniors. The game attracts 225 NFL general managers, scouts and coaches.

What teams are playing?

The opposing teams are “Texas,” composed of players who went to high school or college here in the Lone Star State, and the “Nation,” players from across the U.S. Beloved former Dallas Cowboy Bill Bates will coach the Texas team while Howard Schnellenberger will coach the Nation team.

Where is the game played at?

The game will be played in Allen, Texas. The NFL suggested Allen because of its fantastic new Eagle Stadium and the world-class amenities this community offers to players, coaches and fans who will travel from across the country, descending upon Allen the week of the game.

Extra fun before the game

The morning of the game, Saturday, Feb. 2, Age Pure youth football will play exposition games, introducing a new generation of football players to the sport in a league where teams are determined explicitly on age in an effort to provide a safe and encouraging platform for kids to learn.

Giving back to the community

Texas vs. the Nation is excited to be part of the Allen community and has already found a way to give back.  Working with the FBI’s National Child ID Program, Texas vs. the Nation is partnering with the American Football Coaches Association and AllPlayers.com to supply identification kits to students in Allen ISD. Each year, more than 800,000 children in the U.S. are reported missing.  When these tragedies happen, many parents are ill prepared and are not immediately able to provide law enforcement with vital information including fingerprints, and D.N.A. samples that could help in a situation when every second counts.

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
