re: How was the crowd?

Disappointing. Sat along right field line in 104. Did not feel like a typical super regional. ...
[quote]but they do not serve alcohol inside the stadium[/quote] They do serve alcohol inside DKR. Beer stands all over the lower level and I sat in Section 2 on UT side near goal line on Saturday and had the beer guy stopping by frequently. Pretty damn convenient. Not sure when they went live ...
Now it's coming back to me -- you are right, the "Chief" and the Mike encounter did appear to be staged. But it did get the crowd pumped up when Mike pseudo-stabbed Chief and then broke the spear over his knee....
Was also in student section, don't remember Chief getting pelted (could have happened, I had depleted the Jack Daniels supply by then) but do remember the oranges raining down as the blowout progressed. Didn't Chief come out on the field in the pregame with his flaming spear and Mike ran over and b...
Wickersham. Um, I don't think so....
Saw the Tigers 14u at a USSSA Super NIT in Shreveport in March. Pretty stout bunch. One kid was rumored to have already been "offered" by Turtle Thomas at FIU as an 8th grader. Don't know if that is true or not but the kid could play (a shortstop/pitcher I believe)....

[quote]ESPN said if Miles was offered, he would go. Just because he is staying, doesn't mean he was offered. [/quote] Give me a frickin break. Go on believing that. It's all semantics. If people want to get cute to say that Brandon's visit didn't result in an "offer", they are delusional. The ...

re: How was the crowd% LSU vs Aggies

70 / 30. Deafening up through the 10-0 lead. Their noise backed off once we scored. They thought they were going to rout us. I had three 18 yr old aggie bimbos behind me who were shrieking "wrecking crew" in a high pitched squeal. By the third quarter, their noise was not a factor in the least. By Q...
Good post. Was in sec 227. I think, however, the Aggie fans had us outnumbered 3:1. When they got up 10-0 it was unbelievably loud in their favor. Glad we got it turned around -- we took their crowd out of the game. By early 3rd quarter, they knew they were looking at a L. Loved seeing them leave e...

Went to Cowboys-Eagles last Sun. night -- pat down under the armpits and back behind the belt. The prices are indeed sobering. My advice to you: drink heavily before the game....

I believe the demise of the SWC helped LSU, but it's one of probably several factors. Don't know the exact number of top recruits we get out of TX now, versus the 80's, but it seems to be on the rise. To the extent the breakup of the SWC hurt A&M and increased LSU's ability to recruit better in A&M...

Think I heard the team was staying at the Anatole. It's a good hotel. Without traffic, 25-30 min. to Arlingon (about 20 mi). Leave at 4pm or so on Fri to beat I-30 rush hour traffic. You could stay in Arlington but staying in Dallas or FW would be more fun. Anatole is a good option....
Texas looked so pathetic at times, it really looks like they gave up. Some injuries and a rookie QB but the leadership was awful. If the recruiting rankings are anywhere close to being correct, then Mack and his minions really bungled this year. Which explains why heads are rolling in Austin....
