Ole Miss to Open 2018 Against Texas Tech in Houston

Congratulations!

Should be a good game.

I like it. Texas footprint and should be a win. I would think we have a good alumni base in Houston and it will be easy travel for lots of folks.

I like it, a true neutral site game and can give us a good footprint in Texas.

Well I am not actually doing anything except going. But we will beat them handily. And it's a message board, where all we do is talk

I wish it were somewhere outside the state of Texas. Houston isn't exactly a weekend drive away, so there's no way in hell I'd make it unless I could snag cheap airfare. This game would've been awesome at the Super Dome.

I was talking about this with some people earlier, do you think these neutral site games give significantly more exposure than a traditional home and home arrangement with a P5 school? Considering how every game is available in some form or fashion, I can kinda see the argument that it doesn't, but I feel like the neutral site games by default get promoted as bigger games.

I think these kickoff games started off being huge and hyping everything up.

Now there are so many of them it's kind of dulled them a little bit. I would now prefer home/home so I can go to some new colleges and experience it there.

That being said. I'm pumped about the Orlando kickoff cause we hitting up Islands/Universal on Sat/Sun before our game. Have zero desire for the one in Houston.

I've got business partners in HOU. There's pro baseball. Cool zoo and an awesome children's museum. If you can't find something to do in HOU, you're an idiot.

I lived in Houston most of my childhood (and my residence is still technically located in Houston) and personally I think Houston sucks, I guess I'm an idiot.

In comparison to the other Big 12 schools Texas Tech does not have a very big following in Houston, we should both get about the same allotment.

Really? I figured Lubbock was definitely closer. Still a long drive considering you wouldn't leave the state, but still closer than Oxford. Texas students are coming to Ole Miss in droves these days though, so hopefully it's a 50/50 allotment at worst.
