We drank in Deep Ellum until 2 am. Then drove to Ft Worth and slept at a friend's parents house for about 5 hours before heading back for I believe an 11 am kick off. It was cold. Somebody on our trip played Lil Troy 'Wanna Be a Baller' enough times that if I hear it, I still think about being on Central Expressway after 5 hours on the road from Fayetteville.

I attended Arkansas during the late 1990s. We were already SECSECSEC before I got there. I saw us play Texas in a Cotton Bowl on NYD 2000. That's it. It was cold, and we won. But I don't remember getting jacked up about it. I was at that 1999 Tennessee game. We HATED Tennessee, but back then, Arkansas and Tennessee played every year. Since expansion 2.0, that game never gets played, so those feelings are gone. We always hated LSU (mostly because their fans were so awful back then. Dysfunctional drunk South Louisianans. Even HOME games I hated to encounter Lsu fans. You haven't lived until you've been surrounded and taunted by VISITING fans). Ole Miss is probably my least favorite team, but we seem to have really good karma against them, so its a rewarding hate. I don't think I'll fully understand the old-head hate of Texas. I never cared that much. The excitement around this game and in Fayetteville before and after was a spectacle, so I understand it better now. As for the domination of the series, I'm over 40 , and in my lifetime, the series is equal, or 10-9. Something like that. I was nice to all the Texas fans I encountered. And the three NE Texas bros who couldn't get an Uber to Drake Field around midnight, I was the big bastard who gave you a ride. You're welcome. Thanks for the tip.

Fun chatting with you people earlier. Be safe and get home. I'm finally heading to Dickson Street. Y'all good with 2025? Or next year? Either way, this game needs to happen.

You can take drinks from bars into the streets, in and around Dickson Street and the Square area. There's a particular cup you have to request. It's recyclable, or biodegradable or whatever. It's called the ORA (Outdoor Refreshment Area) and it's pretty much every part of "downtown" Fayetteville, from campus to College Ave.
