Cool I'm scheduled to work during most of the Bowls. I agree that outdoor stadiums are alot better. We attended a UT vs Rice game a few years ago and it was at Reliant Stadium- instead of Rice Stadium-I'm guessing for beer sales- I dunno- It was a night game and I think the roof was closed cant really remember. I felt kinda sorry for the Owls, because they were out numbered bad, kinda hard to draw a crowd when the team goes 1-11. I always liked Hatfeilds option running attack reminded me of the old UT offense.
We were all impressed with Todd Grahamn & Major Applewhite coached team and to go from 1-11 to 7-6 was a heck of an accomplishment. Now Chase Clement & Jarred Dillard are under their third head coach and going to appear in their second bowl. I sure hope they win the game, because both of these guys have had terrific CFB careers would be great for them to go out on top.
I'm going to get some Shiner 99 and a can of picaso's peanuts.I'll be looking at the 42 vizio.

The MOB gigs the Ags even when they are not playing that day.

Anyway, it doesn't look they will play again for a long time. A little bit of bad blood there.

I don't like any closed in stadium like the Alamo Dome. Domes are for the the NFL, the fantasy and corporate box guys. Real football, college football needs to be outside. The good thing about Reliant stadium is that the roof opens. We'll probably go the the Texas Bowl. The tickets will be cheap. For the Rutgers K-State game a couple of years ago, I paid $10 at the last minute.
Houston wants to put fannies in the seats to prove that they can host a BCS plus 1 or plus 3 game.

I've never been to Goodes- looked up on the web- they do use mesquite
I'll have to try it next time in H town-I have to admit that I'm really spoiled when it comes to great BBQ- We are cooking a brisket right now on pecan & Mequite, put it on round 11:30 and gonna pull it off around 18 ;00
BTW The places around here serve the brisket on butcher paper- no plates

Good point. I used to live in West U and spent some time hanging out on the campus, taking graduate classes, attending football, baseball, and basketball games. My only complaint was they didn't have a big crop of pretty coeds, but there were always plenty of nurses working across the street at the med center.

I remember the story, but the only detail I recall is the MOB having to get police protection to leave the stadium. As you and I both know, Aggies aren't known for having a great sense of humor about all-things-Aggie.

I was remotely involved in a tragedy involving members of the MOB. There's an odd looking building in Houston at the corner of Kirby and Richmond near Rice U. Many years ago, MOB members were clowning around on the roof of this building and one of them fell to his death on the top level of the parking deck attached to the 4th floor of the building. Every year on the anniversary of his death, MOB alumni return to the spot where he fell and paint a memorial on the spot where it happened. When I worked at Digicon Geophysical (a company that no longer exists), my office was right next to the spot and I watched the alums paint the memorial from my office window a couple of times.

Ramblin Do you remember when the MOB played were o were has my little dog gone and formed a big fire hydrant after the A&M mascot passed away? The A&M corps was waiting outside the Rice locker room going to whup it up a little. Thats when the Aggies carried real swords.

Wow Yall have fun- sounds like it ought to be a good one, I hope the Horns bring their A game because tOSU always plays tough against the Horns. The Horns can beat any team in the country including Bama,USC, Fla etc etc
Yes we already know 45-35 that game was awesome.
If you beat #1 that makes you #3

Wouldn't miss it.
OSU and Texas travel well so the place will be packed. This will be the third time in four years that they square off and each team has a win. I expect a great game.
Horns, 45-35....

If you're in Houston during college baseball season, check out the Owls at Reckling Park, especially when the Horns and Ags come to town. They're as good as any team in the nation and you can still get great barbeque after the game.

Na man- Went to a total of three CFB games this year- Lucky my brothers sister-in-law works for BU and got us in one game in Waco.
Attended two UT games- both in Austin one was 52-10 the other was 49-9. We usually dont travel too far- I'm scheduled to work the night of the Texas Bowl- might try to swing it somehow-highly unlikely, but would love to attend. We could go to Alamo bowl, but really dont care for either team. We went to one there UT vs Iowa thats a good place to see a game, not too far from home and they had draft Shiner.
You going?

I have a Sports Illustrated VHS from back in the day that they used to give out with new subscriptions, and Tim McCarver actually uses that highlight, and then talks to both of them...

They went on the Ed Sullivan show together afterwards...Sullivan asks him what was going through his mind...The Alabama player says, "Well...Ed...I was just SO FULL OF ALABAMA...."

The crowd breaks up...

Ya Those teams have been at the bottom for a long time, both doing alot better with new HC's and total comittment in Athletics. The small high acedamic schools and private insitutions are at a disadvantage over real large state funded Universities.
TCU is the only one that has consistantly feilded a winning program in recent years.
BTW I listened to the BU @ Tech game on the Radio- man what a great game.
The Bears are definetly back and their quarterback is a superstar. We got to attend the A&M @ BU game- bout time for a little payback, that was alot of fun.
