  1. Cotton Bowl ticket prices plummeting. 😀 Lower level on aggy/miami side was over $1000 during game. Now can get a ticket in the $300's. Will continue to drop. An added insult for aggies. Bought high now trying to unload for a loss.
  2. My man!
  3. A new place opened in my neighborhood (Mary and S 5th 78704). They have a frozen marg made with Big Red! What the hell? I just wanted a frozen marg. Couldn't try it.
  4. So the hotel has been revealed. Now just slip up on the restaurants recs!
  5. The Marriott hotels downtown were all showing as sold out for all fall weekends before the schedule reveal. I don't think they have opened up yet.
  6. Biff Poggi as interim coach for Citrus Bowl. Awesome!
  7. Yes, they can walk if they choose to.
  8. Week 14 numbers
  9. When a lawyer says it's not about the money, it's definitely about the money.
  10. Family moved from LA to Lubbock? Ouch. The SWC was always a shit show. Growing up in Dallas in the 60's/70's (dad was Texas Ex) the SWC was the epicenter of college football for me. But it was always constant in-fighting and teams either cheating their asses off or turning in other schools. The original Big 12 was good, but would never work now because of TV contracts. It's fun to reminisce about the old days, but no way any team would want to leave the SEC or B1G because of the money they generate. Probably make sense for other schools to reorganize more geographically and build rivalries. Stanford, Cal in ACC? Ok. W Virginia in same conference as BYU? Makes no sense.
  11. Reviving this thread. Saw that Texas/Ark won week 13 ratings which surprised me. Beating Oregon/USC head-to-head. Cupcake week in SEC and 5.6M is a low number to win the week, but thought Oregon/USC would do better. Haven't seen the Texas/aggy ratings yet. SEC on ABC has been dominating ratings this year winning 12 straight weeks against FOX, CBS, NBC. https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/college-football-tv-ratings/
  12. At the disastrous game at BYU when Mack was still coach, the stadium only sold caffeine free drinks. But this was pre-2012. So maybe caffeinated cokes now? PARTY!!!
  13. And Athens, too. Loudest non-stop blasting by video board I've heard. Did not hear their band play once during game. (So that's pretty much our trifecta of our losses this year. 😠)
  14. The only positive in this is that Lane will troll the aggies every season since they're permanent rivals. After the way he departed Tennessee, none if this is surprising.
  15. Saw this leaving the stadium. When did they change? For decades it was always all orange after beating a and m.
  16. Oregon's only loss is to #2 Indiana. But yeah, their final two games against USC and Washington will say a lot.
  17. I'm guessing it's a twitter link. Since twitter is borked today, may be why not showing?
  18. Yes, was in Section 105. Lower level around 30 in Georgia section. Part of the bowl built into the ground. Loud as shit. I can understand that the third deck would not have the noise.
  19. Besides the game, great trip. Definitely should be a bucket list to attend in the future. The people were surprising nice. Besides the barking and a few jackasses, very fun. It's great having downtown across the street from campus. Dozens of bars to hit before game, then walk across campus to stadium. Some talented young ladies, and lots of obese dudes. As far as the game atmosphere, I've been to 40+ other stadiums and this was probably the loudest I have been to (2005 Ohio St second). The stadium is built into the ground and the stands hold all the noise. Everyone was standing and yelling the entire game. And my god, they thought they invented 'horns down. The video board was extremely obnoxious though. If you thought Memorial Stadium is loud, 2x for Georgia. The entire game blasting music. I seriously don't think the Georgia band played once during the game.
  20. Fun trip so far. The barking is weird though! Perfect weather.
