Here's some classic shit on 247. Tom Loy, who is a longtime recruiting guy nationally and for ND, starts a thread with this post below:

Absolutely fired up to make the trip for Mike Elko's first game as a head coach at Texas A&M.
Wife and I are making the trip from Nashville.
Would love to link up with some A&M fans if there are any recommended tailgates to it.
Staying in Austin then making the drive over early Saturday morning.
Anything I should know, places to hit, please let me know here or shoot me a PM.
Thanks!

That gets followed by a number of posts where various posters tell him that Austin is a shithole and full of hoboes and scary gay people. Then this post happens:

North Gate will have all the go to bars, it’s the bar area next to campus.
If you’re looking for the college food experience, Gumby’s pizza (pizza rolls), fuegos, and Laynes.
Dixie Chicken is cool, but not some Mecca of bars some make it out to be. Be sure to go to midnight yell, but don’t take any videos of yell leaders and post it on social media. It’s ptsd for us.
Tailgate wise I can’t personally help you out there yet, however you’ll have a great shot of walking through them telling them who you with and that you’re looking to report on the game day experience and 9 times out of 10 you’ll get in to whatever tailgate you want.
Happy you’ll be there it’s a great environment for fans of CFB as well as families (north gate is not family friendly)

So the big recs on the thread are a shitty pizza place, a shitty texmex joint and a national chicken tender chain. Then he recommends Midnight Yell, but please don't tell anyone else about it. And that's the best post on the thread.
