Until the game moves to Jerry’s World.

BITE YOUR TONGUE, Sir, or srr. I’d rather it go home and home than leave my beloved Cotton Bowl for Jerry’s whorehouse.

This is the first I’ve heard of this, but on Spencer Park Soap box they have an article about the DART system and in it is this little nugget….

“Next year, it’s an evening game, with all 95,000 or so football fans letting out just about the time the final crowds from the State Fair will be seeking to leave.”

Anybody know anything about that?

Story was that ABC approached both schools the summer before the ‘07 game with exactly that suggestion/request and were rebuffed with a resounding “NO!”

Got up at 8, in a post UT night game haze. Started drinking at about 9 when the my sisters husband picked me up. Get to the tailgate (blue lot is nuts) and start walking around carrying plenty of drinking rations. They were going down way to smooth for being hungover, probably had something to do with the weather. At about 10:30 we ran into the free beer and jager booth. By free, I mean all you have to do is tip them. By game time, I’m guessing I’m 8-9 beers and 3 shots in. Of course you buy a beer once you get in the gates, because it’s a long walk. Smash a few more in the game and it’s starting to add up. We bailed in the middle of the third quarter to go to The Red Lion (best bar in Houston). On the walk to the car I got a cops number. I don’t remember what she looks like, but my boy said she’s hot as hell. She has the name of my ex-fiance, so she probably won’t be getting a call. Oh yeah, and because she’s a fucking cop. Get to The Lion and it’s vodka time! Bad idea. My friends call and they’re all out in Katy watching the late games. I head out there because I have to meet family for dinner later anyway. Oh shit, I gotta meet family for dinner. I meet my sisters new boyfriend and I’m later told that I was overheard saying, “I think he’s a gay.” Bad first impression. I couldn’t pick him out of a line-up unless he was the only caucasian in it.

Of course now that I think about it, Sunday morning was just really an extension of the late UT game. Maybe early is better…..

I think this is the sole reason a night game has never come to fruition, and likely won’t.

Late night walking back to your car in Fair Park though… not so much.

Any place that doesn’t embrace those three things is a place that’s not worth going.

Other than the decision to go to Fieldturf so they can whore the stadium out for high school games

That really is inexcusable. There can’t be ten better places to have a grass field than texas and it still doesn’t seem or look right whenever I see the field now.
