I read this in Hunziker’s voice and got overly hyped at 10:30 am.

Same.
With Christmas being so close i havent been as excited for the lead up into this bowl game as previous years, but woke up this morning ready to go!!

I’m about to head down to H-town with Jackson to cover the game. Excited about it and also genuinely curious about how it’s going to go.

I hope it’s not like the 2015 Sugar Bowl…

Probably the main reason I chose not to go, and I live here. The two bowl games I’ve attended were both against Ole Miss, so both were losses. Don’t think I can stand to hear SEC, SEC again.

100% - the only sounds I’d prefer not to hear even more than the SEC chant is a certain tune that our friends from Norman play after just about every play during football games :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Bar recommendations for Houston? Our hotel is right by the stadium so nothing is close

If any of you have time to explore, on Rice’s campus, they have a bar called Valhalla or something like that. Really, really cheap beers that are good. It’s very dive-bar esque.

Tell me about it. I hate that we’ve lost to them every time we’ve played in a bowl game.

I hope Chuba obliterates them and shoves it in everyone’s face.

Edit: Oh, oops, I mean “Helping-Hand”… :grimacing:

We’re even going white facemask which is something we rarely do anymore

I’m so apathetic about this game but I’ll enjoy that it’s on tonight by kickoff.

Are we wearing the Texans pants like the photo that’s floating around? :smile: Saw the same photo for A&M and the NFL logo is visible…

Y’all need to go check this page out. The first paragraph gives me life

“THE 2011 SEASON DAMAGED ME IN A BIG WAY. WHATEVER TRUST OR HOPE I HAD FOR AGGIE FOOTBALL LEFT ME. I BECAME A SHELL OF A FAN WHICH IS ODD GIVEN HOW EVERY YEAR OF MY LIFE FOLLOWING AGGIE FOOTBALL HAD GONE BEFORE THAT.
ALL OF THAT TRUST. ALL OF THAT DAMAGE STARTED BECAUSE OF OKLAHOMA STATE. IT STARTED WITH THE FIRST DOUBLE DIGIT BLOWN LEAD. THAT WAS THE FIRST ONE. I LEFT THAT GAME AT KYLE BEFUDDLED AND WONDERING WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED. THEN I SAW GUNDY DANCING IN THE LOCKER ROOM.”

And yes, the entire post is in ALL CAPS
