Everytime me or EBR or Mrs. EBR went to stand in the beer line, by the time we got close the beer men ran out of cold brews!
Ah, fock it, we drank em hot!
It was a great game despite spending most of the first and third quarters in line for beer and the bathroom (what a vicious cycle). And if'n any of y'alls were in my section, please forgive us, my brother and I were smashed!
Dallas was a big freakin' city!
Dio, there's nothing else like a warm beer to give one a quick buzz. A little something I picked up from living in Oxford for three years.
That, and the saying, "You don't buy beer; you only rent it."
I'm glad you had a good time. From those of us who couldn't make it, thanks for being there!
Where on earth IS Thurston?
My brother, the former FISTRebel, and I were two rows up behind the band. That was great except when they raised their tubas to play!!
I'm too tired to write very much, but those of you who weren't there really missed out on a great game and gameday!
The Cotton bowl planners also didn't expect the tongue-lashing they received from me and others when we realized they had apparently shut down two of the four gates to get in, directing everyone from certain gates to two other particular gates, making it almost impossible to get into the stadium at a reasonable time. Pathetic!! We left for the stadium approximately 40 minutes prior to gametime, and still struggled to get in before kickoff(we were standing up top waiting to go down to our seats watching the kickoff). Absolutely terrible. The line that everyone was forced to stand in was about two hundred feet long. Factor that in with damn security checks and it made for a pretty hefty wait, pissing most everyone off, not to mention the 1840s-style urinals in the bathroom and seats so confined that even Gary Coleman would've been pressed for breathing room.
Enough bitchin' I'm over that crap now..........how bout dem Rebels!!! Hotty Damn Toddy Baby!!!
You should have been in our section. The restrooms were OK in the main part of the stadium, but Fist and I didn''t get into any beer drinking in the stadium. $6.00 for a frigging beer!? We didn't buy any just on the principle of the thing.
Some idiot threw a half full bottle of beer, after a bad call by the officials, down on our own fans. Fist told the guy if he threw anything else he was going to get his arse beat right there. It would have happened too! Anyone who has just put 20 years in the Army can kill most folks with their bare hands!
We got in just before they closed those main gates, but couldn't go back out of them. Luckily there were enough people walking back from them to tell us they were locked. We had to go out another way through a choke hole. What a bunch of crap! :cuss:
Yeah, I hear ya NPR. I paid $6 for a BBQ sandwich, it was the most sorry excuse for BBQ I've ever had. I thought Texas was supposed to have GOOD BBQ. I saved the drinking activities for other places.

$6 a beer? Holy cow, so that's why my wallet was so light after the game?

I don't recall us having to go through much hassle to get in but I agree that the Cotton Bowl planners can work on a few things to make it more pleasureable for visiting fans. My biggest complaint involves the lack of bathroom facilities for the parking lot tailgaters. We had to walk forever to find a few port-a-johns. I was in agony. :frown:
Don't get me wrong, but the Cotton Bowl was a great adventure, especially with our pass-game and run-game clicking for a memorable win. I'm happy I went and they can have my money for the damn hot beers (fock it)!
But I tell you what, if the Cotton Bowl wants to be part of the fledgling BCS then they need to revamp some things.
Of all those years complaining about Shreveport, well at least in their stadium someone brought the beer (cold) to you!

Those beers we drank were hot? I can't say that I noticed.

Texas does have good BBQ but not at the Cotton Bowl, hell man that is the same company who does the airline food for DFW Airport I do believe. Should have went with the hot dog.
6 bucks for a beer, geez no wonder they can pay out 3 million per team. :D
