Just got to “throw them open.”

Actually, run Tank and Cowboy, play defense.

I hope we can win.

Auburn playing historical power Houston will bring in the 'croots.

We will 100% be there. New stadium. Tons of stuff to do. Might go stay at the Elyton or Redmont downtown and chase the wife around?

We did OK packing out Legion for the Memphis game. Imagine it won't be too hard to pack out Protective.

I still haven't been to the stadium and plan to go downtown for a day.

Yeah I was on the front row and my feet were basically in a puddle all game lol.

At least it wasn't terribly cold for that time of year.

1000% better than 1996 in Tampa against Penn State. *THAT* was a miserable game from start to finish in just about every aspect. Was also the day that The Mildly Retarded Bowden decided that he was just like TOTALLY OFFENDED by Dye's cheating regime which didn't have *near* the dignity in his mind as his dear Diddy's cheating regime.

They'll certainly enjoy watching Auburn get aired out. Houston, frankly, deserves a better bowl than this.

Like I said earlier ITT - they're a very unimpressive 11-2.

They haven't beaten anyone nearly as good as Arky, much less Ole Miss. And they lost to a pretty crappy Texas Tech team to start the season, which was their only P5 opponent. They led 21-7 midway through the 3rd quarter before getting outscored 31-0 the rest of the way.

Granted, they will surely be more motivated than we will, as a win over us would make their season given the piss-poor quality of the rest of their schedule.

They just played very respectably against a team in their conference championship that is in the playoffs. And now a chance to beat an SEC team that won a national title not so long ago? You'd better believe they're going to be on afterburners coming into that game.

Sounds like the perfect matchup for AU, then.

Wife is in. Making reservations at the Elyton now. Hope to have dinner reservations at Cafe DuPont one night as it’s across the street.

So did we, in the Iron Bowl.

And let's be fair, their CG opponent is only in the playoffs because Okie State's RB's arms were too short.
