Right on.
I don't have anything against you personally. I just don't like Texas athletics.

Surprisingly accurate post.

DKR is more of an NFL feel than a CFB feel mixed in with a lot of cartoonish graphics and piped in noise. It's more of a production. Interesting to see but certainly not a traditional SEC type venue. Part of that is Austin is a large city with lots of money and no NFL team so companies buy up a lot of the seats. Carries over to the tailgating as well, lots of corporate sponsored tailgates. The stadium food is very good though, best I've had and great variety.

Anyone arguing the BBQ just thinks the only real BBQ is Pork and can't admit that Brisket is king. Beef always beats pork if done properly. There is shite BBQ in Austin but there is also some truly exceptional BBQ. Also a LOT of great Tex Mex.

Agree as well that the liberal losers don't really go to the games though you will definitely see some weird looking folks for sure.

So, I'll give some credit to you, I actually went to a longhorns game last year when I was doing a work trip in San Antonio.

Tailgating is all over the place, from the great Mexican crews and planned setups, to parking deck tailgates, to like an EDM dj'd setup, to that damned awful Revelxp (Tailgate guys) luxury sanitized bullshite tailgate--which I have come to completely despise after seeing Auburn's Amphitheatre ruined by it this year.

They have their radio show and TVs of games going on right outside as well as team shops and kid games for everyone to get in on--not bad.

Parking is relatively close, but expect to walk 5-10 blocks still after paying for a parking deck spot. The campus is pretty nice, with the cityscape nearby while also open with the giant belltower in the middle. It's quite a natural campus with plenty of little natural nooks to relax in.

Traffic was not too bad and easily manageable, but traffic is confusing af--a lot of road construction was going on.

The stadium was easy to get into, upper deck had a decent roundabout climb, but there were plenty of beer vendors close by. Most views seemed like a good seat even in the upper deck I didn't feel too far from the field. Generally the crowd was nice, but I was in "fit-in" mode so I don't know how I'd be treated as an opponent--this game was the Rice game that year--which I think is like a cupcake rival free win for them.

The traditions seemed to run pretty deep there, but it also appeared to be on a somber note due to their lackluster performance lately.

I would say it would have been too much of a big deal for Bama to be in the upper deck with that climb up and down to the field for halftime. If they would be allowed to field enough members, would be a logistical nightmare, not to mention the process of leaving in time to get there.

For these reasons alone it is unfortunate Texas won't allow for a proper allotment for the MDB, it would only add to the environment, and make for a better introduction to the SEC if they would do this proper. I feel like sure they are an opponent, but the opposition should only be on the field or spoken word, not how the team/fanbase is treated unless proven hostile or otherwise.

Instead of waving towels or pompoms is it true the male Texas fans wave their boyfriends' dildos during the game?

OP where would you go right after the game to party and watch other games? Preferably walking distance from stadium. Thanks

Scholz beer garden is the go to answer but it will be nut to butt crowded. There arent a lot of options around the stadium because its in the middle of campus and is bordered by I 35 on the east side.

The cool part about it being an 11 am game is they are going to keep all the food trucks and beer vendors around the stadium after and there will be big projectors everywhere showing the other games. Will be some live music too. The idea is to kind of recreate the state fair atmosphere after the RRS.

Now this thread has potential!

4, 6, 7, 8 (and 10 somewhat) are true. The rest is bullcrap.

You wont see or park on the campus; it's in the middle of a city which has become a liberal shithole full of street people. I hope all you SEC brethren that were so excited to welcome them have a nice time in Austin, Texas.
