  1. Busy, great trip so far. Buffalo Trace and Keeneland yesterday. Amazing meal at Deauville. Claiborne Farm this morning (where Secretariat stood and buried) then Fasig-Tipton. Son-in-law works there. Beautiful grounds. At B&B now. Good place. Mostly Texas fans. Good sign today.
  2. Buffalo Trace was insane today. So crowded but they did a good job. Lots of orange. Texas Fight yell broke out at Keeneland! Who started that?!?
  3. On flight ready for epic weekend. I’m going to cancel the Bear and Butcher. Haven’t heard of anyone going. Met John Baker who is on my flight. Rancher who owns Bevo. Great guy. https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/how-an-austin-area-family-became-the-owners-of-ut-mascot-bevo/269-609600767#
  4. Kind of stunned that Texas/ou was the highest rated game this weekend since it went up against Oregon/Indiana (5.59M). https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/college-football-tv-ratings/
  5. We've gone from 30+ attending to this: 😀
  6. @Longboard Horn Sorry to hear about your grandmother. Anyone confirmed for showing up at Bear and Butcher on Saturday at 12:30? I have a table for 12, but they won't let us sit unless over half the group there. I'm down to four in my group for Saturday afternoon. @RRHorn - do you still need space for 2? I will reduce my table size to 6 or 8 if I don't hear from anyone.
  7. Gates open at 11a. Post time of first race is 1p. Yes, tailgating is pretty big deal at Keeneland. May consider this as an option at least for part of afternoon. It's free to park on the large grass field near track (you don't need ticket to the races). Just found out my daughter has a horse racing Saturday, as well.
  8. @BurntEyes Is Charlie Brown's still an option after Bear and Butcher?
  9. Yes, the Fair would lose a shit ton of money. 250,000 people attend the Fair gameday. No idea why people with no interest in the game, go that day. But they do (and all seem to have baby strollers).
  10. Kentucky tailgate cancelled due to lack of ticket sales. Still plan to meet at Bear and Butcher then will figure what to do pre-game.
  11. If anyone is interested, I may have extra GA tickets for Friday at Keeneland. My daughter has a horse racing which should allow her to get a reserved box for my crew. Not confirmed yet.
  12. Yeah, no shit. Don't go if it's too uncomfortable for you. I still miss it when the Cotton Bowl had metal seats with little leg room. Banging your knees on the chair in front was part of the game experience. The concourses were more jammed this year because the sun was blazing and so many people hung out there to get in the shade. My only real gripe was why do they place those portable concessions for beer/water in the narrow concourse. Really fucked up moving because you had long lines blocking what little space there was. But overall, it's the most beautiful stadium in the world. 90,000+ seats all close to the field, outdoors, and a grass field. I'm in my 60's, but wouldn't .think of missing this game.
  13. For those that haven't seen on Kentucky tailgate thread, Surly is partnering with Tailgreeters for Lexington. https://tailgreeter.com/texas-kentucky-road-tailgate-football-on-the-bourbon-trail
  14. Game week! Looking forward to trip. Gametime set for 7p. I have a reservation for 12 at Bear and Butcher at 12:30. I think just 5 from my group will go there so room for 7 others. Who plans to attend? We'll go to tailgate around 2p. https://tailgreeter.com/texas-kentucky-road-tailgate-football-on-the-bourbon-trail
  15. What's the problem with 3 hours at the fair? Grab a seat at Magnolia Beer Garden or Texas Exes. Drink beer. Watch college football on giant screen. Sounds like a perfect Saturday. People bitched about the 11a kick for over a decade. Now 2:30 sucks, too?
  16. My group will do the tailgate although the "special Kentucky menu" concerns me. 😀 One can only eat so many Hot Browns. We will go to Bear and Butcher first, then start tailgating around 2p. Gametime still TBD. Either 7p or 7:45p. The weather forecast looks perfect:
  17. Here's the link I found with details for everyone: https://tailgreeter.com/texas-kentucky-road-tailgate-football-on-the-bourbon-trail
  18. @immamac Any update on a Kentucky tailgate? Or was the Florida trip too much of a bloodbath? How can we help if you're still thinking about doing one for Lexington?

  20. I'll be at my 47th consecutive Texas/ou game. Will stop by HH.
  21. Yes. Still holding reservations at Bear and Butcher. Waiting for more info on Surly tailgate before finalizing plans. (Either meet at B&B then go to tailgate or tailgate all day.)
  22. Here’s a thread for Kentucky game.
