The goalposts look like they are not properly centered.

Winning by 35 would frustrate a certain segment of the fan base.

Well yeah I’m sure plenty are taking Texas to cover

Buy the half point in this one.

If our talent and depth is as great as claimed, this is a game where backups and third string should continue to score without much effort. I wouldn’t expect rice to have talent parity with our third string given the koolaid of the last month.

There is always a tailgate for all home games. If attendance is better than last year we will have both home and away tailgates in 24 for the SEC opening season. 

[YGIFS 19449]

So I can invite Iron Mike?  I don't know him, but I know one of his "people."  He's looking to party before the game.  But I have no idea what that entails.  Could be have a sprite and sing the eyes of texas, or hookers 'n blow then beating us all within an inch of our lives.

Back in 2005 MNC season, Texas beat Rice 51-10 and they probably did not cover. That was one of the worst games ever played by a Longhorn team compared to their potential and by far the slopiest and least entertaining game of the season.

Once you are a legit top 5 team, these early season tune ups are essentially meaningless.

They were a cover machine that year.  I think the only game they didn't cover was Okie St.

I never realized that they were filming a scene there. I was wondering why they both looked coked out.

Nah, I’ve been in those suites (humble brag). No lines. That pic is bogus and the a/c and lobster tails are glorious.

whole lotta wussiness going on up in here.  you guys are complaining that its going to be too hot.  you're going to be sitting down, wearing comfortable clothes, holding a cold beverage, expending zero energy.  and your whiny asses want to lodge a formal complaint.  the players will be in full pads, practically running wind sprints for 3 hours, and theyve been doing it all summer.  all you gotta do is sit there and clap (if you can see yourself to it).  do as all a favor and stay home and give your tickets to someone with a little more grit in their character.

Also have to deal with 3 year olds whining and screaming because their family is trying to toughen them up for their next vacation.

lol I do the same thing as wetsuit season winds down. If there’s kids playing in the water you just can’t be a bitch and wear a wetsuit. 
 

I got overruled bringing our 1 year and 3 year old to this game though. Just going to have to bring them to a more expensive game later in the year. 

[runthebone 7932]

So people are wusses because they're going to be sitting in the stands during the heat.  Next week, I bet you're going to say they're shitty fans because they're not standing.

Thread derail:
Are they still going to do that pussy ass Journey shit at the game where everyone gets their phones out and sings, “Don’t stop believing….”?

An article on SI today covered the history of Wisky’s 3rd quarter “Jump Around”, and for real, our “thing” is … (insert your own derogatory explanatory word) compared to that.

It's a paradox that will affect us going forward

Little Rock Saturday forecast:

12:00: 86 degrees, 50% relative humidity, 90 degree heat index.

3:00pm: 91 degrees, 47% relative humidity, 96 degree heat index.

This is like kicking at 9:00am in Houston lol

i miss a decade ago when a kidless @GreenspointTexas would tell everyone within a 6 hour drive they were pussies for not devoting their entire weekend to going to games.

For real though, it is irresponsible for the game to be at 230. Who is held responsible when there are heat strokes that kill someone the media cares about? If it is in the stands it will be CDC, if it is on the field, Fox?

Too much money and logistics involved to move the game, so don't count on it. 

Austin FC moved several games back this season from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. due to the heat.  But that's easy to do because MLS TV contracts and viewership is a fraction of college football. 

And I know this summer has been well above normal.  But it's not like we've never had 100+ degree conditions at home openers before.  We're all just going to have to suck it up and hydrate with plenty of Coors Lite.

They’re actually supportive of VaTech using it. Also, that ACC tweet was shit - it’s infinitely better for night games.

If one were inclined to attend the Surly tailgate for the first time:

(1) Is there a suggested donation?

(2) Will you have air conditioning?

(3) Is the code word still "muledick"?
