It's official, I'll be there too.  But I'll be honest, I'm more excited about getting some pizza and beer at pint house  or abgb afterwords.

I started going in 1957. Dad had season tickets, "the good seats" and I sat in the knot hole section, the north end zone. Later in life I got my own season tix in "the good seats". I saw lots of good times and lots of bad times, but I still got tears in my eyes when the band marched in before games. I would tell my wife, "This is what I do." Then, after 60 years, in Charlies second year, I couldn't justify spending $5,000+ per year for shit football.

Truth be told, as much as the shit football, the "atmosphere", mostly the deafening jumbotron, ran me off. I came to watch football but more and more got bread and circuses. I love football, but now it's all some variation of jet pack man. 

I'm happy for those of you who can ignore the bread and circuses and still see the football...I simply lost my ability to do that. 

I'm a noob, starting in 1981.  But there's just so much bullshit that the team has attracted that amazes me, and not in a good way.  Granted, I'm a nobody in the eyes of the athletic dept. as I've live outside the state for 30 years and attended just a few games recently.  But rather than be a kind of homesickness magnet to draw me back, I can't imaging the trouble and expense of coming to see a football game, particularly of one that is almost predictably mediocre.

 Maybe I have you confused with somebody else but are you going to the games and then sitting there and posting on the Internet the whole time?

Or they’ll just get a grad transfer that wants to walk into a perfect situation. Sam?

100 miles one way on game day was getting old. Hook ‘em! 

Im 212 miles away and have been a season ticket holder for around 6 months and it’s already getting old.  We’ll probably keep them through the Alabama, Michigan and OSU home games, but it’s going to be a beating until then unless DKR comes walking through that door.

Um, me too?

I didn't read your long ass post, but I figure the jist is that you'll be at the game. Me too. Off season is too damn long to not maximize the few Texas games we get.

Reading three paragraphs is a real challenge for some folks.

Isn’t OP the guy who counts how many beers the people sitting around him have had?

What’s the LSU qb pipeline look like? I’d imagine you can find some guys from Texas used to the system and be ok longer term.

Yeah we got guys but there will be a drop-off until they get some experience. Hard to replace this guy obviously.

How's the game experience? I haven't seen a crowd shot because I'm embarrassed to look. 

50%?
