  1. Super easy to see right now if you have a west view, pretty cool.
  2. I like the way nothing in that article explained why they are still holding on to coupons. Maybe it is sunk cost fallacy, maybe it is to reduce crime, i think it is just greed. The fair is just getting free money from all the tickets that get lost or go unused every year.
  3. You could easily have a case where at least 3 of these teams did not even play each other and the deciding factor on who got to the game was a fucking coin flip. its a big MAYBE
  4. Maybe? Depends on when the losses were, but losing the last game you play is going to have consequences.
  5. Yeah the fear of a 3 or 4 way tie in a divisionless conference does bring it up. Just saying if you have 3 or 4 teams tied with with a 10-2 record before the game and then you have four teams that were 11-2, 10-2, 10-2, 10-3 I would say that the 10-3 team gets left out in most years. The simple argument of how will they win a playoff when they just lost to a playoff team….
  6. Fixing the entrance gate situation cannot happen fast enough. What a cluster to get into the game. We headed to the stadium at 1:30 and still took 45 minutes to get in
  7. I feel like we need clever means about the Tropicana in Vegas and Tropicana in Florida being destroyed within 24 hours.
  8. I am 99% sure we just walked by showing them the ticket. I don’t think it was scanned until entry to the stadium.
  9. Here is the official schedule from the Texassports: Gameday Timeline 7:00 a.m. - Parking Lots open 7:00 a.m. - State Fair of Texas fairgrounds open 8:00 a.m. – Marty & McGee Show LIVE outside the Hall of State near Big Tex.

  10. I avoid DART at all costs, just because post game can be such a cluster. I fear post game this year being later will be more a cluster than usual. We are staying near a dart station, me and the guys are getting up and getting to the fair sometime between 8-9 and will find parking easily. The wives/children will take dart a little later (call it 10:30) and I am sure they will be fine getting to the fair. But then we can all leave in one car after the game when it’s a madhouse.
  11. Yep, right across from where they have the baby animals, is a place that will let you pay with a card. You can also use a card at the old mill. Of course you can use a card in the stadium.
  12. I also remember in 2017 the gates were open before 9am
  13. To be fair, there is still time for this prediction to come true.
  14. No I meant do they ever do it? Or do we know that they always set the evening games 13 days out? Just for future reference.
  15. Do we know for sure the SEC will hold the flex game for a 7 day window? I don’t think we have seen them do that yet. (At least not between afternoon and evening).
  16. I mean, you need to at least make Oklahoma waste some practice time on Arch.
  17. This week’s is about perfect.
  18. That’s crazy. I can’t recall a storm that moved that far east from the gulf.
  19. Letting the score when they could not have run out the clock (since you had 2 time outs) seems wrong.
  20. Game time will be set before next weekends games. So we should be good
  21. Well well well, i guess a night game is back on.
