Short end of the stick 100%
Crappy games. What more can you want. Got lucky last year pretty much.Quote:

Pass. Will watch from home
Pat O's is overrated. 11am game in the super dome is alright. 2:30 would be better to me, but 11 isn't awful. The other times 17ing suck. I'm guessing our attendance is going to take a hit this year.Quote:

The game starts shortly after Pat Os closes for the night. I probably won’t sleep much that weekend.Quote:

Until the game ends and you walk outside. Then it's 3PM, in New Orleans, in August, and then you die.Quote:

Usm game.... games were played for decades at 1:30. 230 is fine. Rivalry game. No excuses.
11am KSU game the week immediately following the usm game? We will be lucky to get 40k actual attendance.
K State will have a minimum of 8K at the game.Quote:

There are only so many chances to watch your team play at home, and wins at home are damn fun regardless of the opponent.Quote:

I agree. However going by years of being a State fan and the BYU game a few years ago..... the KSU game will be pitiful.Quote:

Nice thing is, the businesses do better when we have 11 oclock games.Quote:

He'ssssssssssss back!!!
Man don't even drink anything in any of those tourist traps on Bourbon. All those places are serving mostly moonshine in their drinks and have been doing it for years. Balloons their profits. You will feel like you got run over by a Mack truck the next morning. You can just walk up and down poydras street and there are plenty of little dives on it to party in. Go to the maringy after the game and get down if you want a party . Its a couple blocks past french market.Quote:

Is USM going to be on CBS?
I got a hotel on Canal for 112 per night through a priceline deal. That was a month ago though. Prices may have gone up by now. I will have fun in Nola regardless of who is there. I do with the game time was a few hours later, but I will power through it.Quote:

Then the ongoing festivities in the area must not carry as much weight as it used to. I remember it being a madhouse. I stand corrected.Quote:

Zuber against his old team. Maybe he goes off for a monster game like we haven't seen since Fred Ross.Quote:

That's about 1/3 the cost in Starkville/Columbus for game weekends.Quote:
