It looks like a giant ash tray. And like a Phoenix I hope Texas can rise from the ashes of this season with a win. State Fair is always fun. 🤩 

Like this?

Fair is always great, new cotton bowl renovations were much needed and overall a way better experience. 2:30 Gametime blows fucking ass and is hot as fuck, tickets on the shaded side is a must.

Guy sat behind me was telling his friends it was their 60th red river shootout so shout out to that legend who had been going since he was a kid in the late 60’s. 
 

Fuck ou.

Yesterday was my 25th RRS and my 4th in a row and have taken my son now all 4 years of high school for him being his senior year. 3-1 is his record so I told him he could easily be 4-0 if not for the Gabriel fucking game we blew so he’s going every year now no questions asked.

I was wondering what the tower (shadow above) was.  There used to be a radio tower in roughly that same spot.  

It's an administration building for the State Fair.

Took a post-victory ride on The Crazy Mouse before heading home.  What occurred to me about the ride today? It was 10 tickets.  6 of us rode it.  That’s 60 fucking dollars for The Crazy Mouse.  Worth it for a "don't care Beat OU" victory ride, but how the hell does a family roll to the Fair and blow 30-60 dollars, depending on how many kids they have, on The Crazy Mouse?

Counterpoint:  Peter the Great. 

Grew up in Dallas and started going in late 80s as a teen.  Started pretty strong.  Was actually still ahead coming off the Mack years. Believe I am now something like 18-20-1.

Improved to 6-5. Daughter is 1-0. 

Without looking about the same. 500 ball over 15 games. My currently 17 year old was born the 2nd week in October and that throws shit in the fan over the years attending with birthdays. Sorry not sorry for sexing my wife in January.

I’m going to have to count mine out. Don’t even remember how many I’ve been to.

Was also trying to remember the “secret route” to Fair Park you gave me back in the HF days, but I’ve long since forgotten. Made it and in really well yesterday anyway. Hope you’re well.

I guess… if you’re a good parent.

my kids are 11 and 13 and were born the first and second weekend’s in October, and my SO who I’ve been with for ~9 years has birthday the day before the 13 yo.

I’ve been to 27 in a row.

Did the state fair suck?

I hate the 2:30 kick.

for the 2nd year in a row, people don’t know what to do with the extra couple of hours. And end up just spending them in line for coupons and fletchers.

9-11 is the sweet spot now for getting all of your fair activities out of the way. Arriving after then and it’s just a mob of people and lines. The problem is, that still leaves 3 hours before kickoff.

I love the 2:30 kick. More time for wax cup cold beer.
