The Cotton Bowl game in '08 was in Dallas and it looked about 50/50 until the TT fans cleared out. Then it looked more like 60/40 Ole Miss.

It's a holiday weekend and I have family close to Houston, so I"m going.

Good thing for Ole Miss there is a big alumni base in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas.

I will definitely be in Nashville and Little Rock. If my transfer comes through in October, I'll be in Dallas. So I will drive down to College Station for that game.

I'm thinking I should be able to make at least 8 games. Could be more depending on when my transfer goes through.

I do believe the turn out will be better than the Boise St. game in Atlanta.

Texas Tech will easily have more fans but as someone from Houston I can tell you Texas Tech doesn't have a very big presence and isn't going to bring that big of a crowd either, probably about the same size crowd for the Boise State game

While I agree, some interesting facts.

Oxford to Houston is only a 45 minute longer drive than Lubbock to Houston. Jackson, MS is 2 hours closer than Lubbock to Houston.

I do not expect a large TT section either, but more than Ole Miss of course. TT has games in Fort Worth and Arlington later in the season, so many DFW fans will not make the drive.
