The Power of Sports

It has always been such a novel concept, remembering where you were when a particular sporting event happened. The glory days of yesterday when you sit around with friends and swap stories of your favorite moment, whether you were participating or just watching, celebrating or hanging your head. Sports have the power to turn enemies into friends, strangers into neighbors and a nation into ONE.
How often do you just browse over the sports section when a certain sport is the topic? Not that many people pay attention to cycling, swimming, the little league world series... Yet, you know Lance Armstrong’s statistics; you were glued to your television when Michael Phelps won 8 gold medals. And you can’t help but watch and cheer for the kids during the game. It’s that feeling camaraderie that you can’t explain. How many times have you been at a live sporting event and high fived the person next to you when an amazing play has happened? We’ve all done it. It’s the power of sports. What amazing thing athleticism. It can bring so many together for such amazing results. It’s the power of the off season when human nature takes over, to bring many together for a great cause: to find a cure. A cure for Cancer, Child Abuse, Diabetes, AIDS. On a football field, Basketball Court, Golf Course, athletes, politicians and Hollywood come together to bring about change. That’s the power of sports.
Sports have the ability to make you heart fill with pride, your eyes swim with tears and make your soul shine brighter than the sun. To be able to work with two of the greatest hockey players to ever skate the ice, as well as see them dedicate time to The St. Jude Foundation, The Mike Modano Foundation and both of them played the golf tournament in Lake Tahoe to help find a cure for cancer with the Lance Armstrong Foundation. It’s the power of sports. Want to be a part of it. Join us anytime at Hully and Mo, the door is open.

Cheers!

It's that time again...

The end of summer is one of those bittersweet times; when you realize how great the last few months have been, yet it’s time to get back to the grind. Kids back in school, work picking up, weather changing. Yet, it’s the best time of the year…SPORTS SEASON!! College football, NFL, NBA- Dallas Mavericks and better yet…NHL and the DALLAS STARS!! It’s the time to grab your jersey, paint your face and cheer for your favorite team!!! Even if you don’t have tickets to the game, you always have a great seat at Hully and Mo. Have you been here yet? Let’s think this over; Brett Hull, you may have heard of him…Hall of Fame, yeah, that guy. Mike Modano…Greatest scoring American born player? I know you know who he is. Well, you want a part of their action; join us for the games at Hully and Mo. Lounge, restaurant, friends and good times! Here’s an idea, grab your alumni association and have college game watching parties on Saturday afternoon, then, grab the buddies as you watch the Cowboys on Sunday while enjoying our great Brunch. With 16 flat screen TV’s and 2 projection screens you will never miss any of the action. I’m talking Sports Center Top 10 plays kind of set up here. It’s one of those places where you just have to be. But what do I know? I’m just a girl who asks if you want fries with that. Come check us out. The door is open!
Cheers!!
