europe does 1000-year-old structures with large crowds just fine
we can't even manage with a venue that's not yet 100
if line in the sand is not drawn now, just wait until the ASSWATER starts leaking in to those fancy new suites.....
at that point all of you "just bend over and take it" crowd will have no fight left to fight
the cigars will just take it home and home and fuck the fair and whatever years are left on their contract
the cotton bowl opened in 1930
you have 4 years to stop the tide of enshittification before the corporates take away your opportunity to swim in ASSWATER
the current deal runs through 2035 but it can be walked from at anytime
there won't be any shitshow after 2030 if the big money gets tired of the charm
no one is asking for five-star amenities
the state fair corporation makes a lot of money that pays a lot of people a shit load of salary for working one month a year
it's time they are held accountable
everyone whining about the complainers and expecting everyone to just roll over and accept enshittification can eat a bag of dicks
starting in and returning to lexington, this itinerary has 9 potential events based on your personal criteria, with just under 7 hours total drive time
the opening segment of 136 miles consumes almost 3 hours of the drive time
this friday 17 november lexington solar times are:
0748 sunrise
1856 sunset
the final event closes at 5pm so with 2 hours of lost daylight, to spend adequate time at each stop requires a pre-dawn departure from lexington

as for all of the other issues, the $150m renovation did very little to nothing to help with the problems the fair refuses to solve - it's a 501(c)3 that refuses to spend the money needed to make the product acceptable, safe, and equitable
the deathstar is not the solution
threatening to go home and home is the only thing that will get results
sorry, hate to say it, but paying hundreds of $ to stand in urine, with no access to water, and an un-managed crowd situation is no longer acceptable this deep in to the 21st century
cdc can fix this real fast
the tower will issue an edict as follows:
any student, faculty or employee of The University, visually documented in a _SECTION_ of the cotton bowl for which they do not have tickets, will be suspended from entry in to or purchase of tickets to ut athletic sporting events for 10 years (or something draconian)
then, all you have to do is take pics with your phone and email them to belmont
the offenders can appeal - maybe they were in the wrong row - but 2 incidents in the same section draws the punishment
the zoomers have become conditioned to publishing their own version of reality and the people that run the fair give zero fucks what cdc says
it's come to this - wage war on our own students to preserve this tradition in this stadium
speculation: pedder logo sales have flatlined or not grown in line with expectations
they have 800k living alumni and are the largest dues-paying alumni association
it may not be about "sell more" but just stopping the bleeding
the godpa cult left a stain in the bfe center of pennsylvania, and there are plenty of big jobs out there now
pedder are a cross between tech (bfe) and aggy (cult)
i'll say it again - taking 3 points at the end of our best/first long drive of the season *could* *might* end up being an inflection point in not only this season but sark's entire Texas career
recall 3 years ago we were botching short kicks every other game, and to start last year we began coaching the returner to just back off and let everyone know where the ball is coming down
sure it costs yards.... on some punts
we also seem to have backed off trying to block kicks - the resulting roughing flags on every 3rd attempt just weren't worth it..
i'm good with banks
root cause analysis: the offensive line went from radio to black & white tv to color tv in the course of 20 plays
arch and wisner began to play with fire in their eyes
"angry people win football games"
- the immortal one
what feels FUCKING FANTASTIC like a threesome with 2 tridelts was the offensive line.... sniff.... snuffle.... those guys..... tearing up.... those guys were communicating.... talking to each other.... sniff..... snuffle.... pointing at the guys on the other side of the trench..... i.... just can't..... give me a kleenex
man i can't rep this enough - the rig12 fucked us so hard in this game for 2 decades
there were 2 'callable' blocks in the back on niblett's return
were they legit flags?
herbie thought so
but they were not called
advantage: Texas
