June 17, 20214 yr Anybody going to the Sunday pre-game at Old Mattress Factory (no scales, so I'm boycotting)?
June 17, 20214 yr Longhorn Foundation. The Omaha chapter will probably do something as well, but there's are usually cash bars (with proceeds going to scholarship funds, which is why I drink so many beers at them). I'm guessing this one is hosted bar/food. Happy to transfer my invite to you if you want to take your daughter. I cannot speak to the venue, arrangement, or any of that---I've never been to a LHF event in Omaha. In fact, I don't even know if they've ever done anything like this before (certainly not in the four times I've been to the CWS).
June 17, 20214 yr Thanks, but my mom is going with us and I'm not sure how much pregame activities she'll be up for.

If you are staying right across the street from the park, you can go to OMF and come back and pick your mom up before the game without needing a vehicle. The hotels across the street, OMF, and the stadium are all really close together.
June 18, 20214 yr Made reservations June 27-June 30 right across the street from the park. Driving up from Atlanta with my 9-year old on her first long road trip. So we, um, need to make the finals.
June 18, 20214 yr I am arriving tonight at 10. Will probably head to Slowdown after checking into hotel.Unless anybody has a good Friday night recommendation.

June 18, 20214 yr We will be flying in tomorrow, goes without saying this has been the longest Friday I’ve had in some time!
June 19, 20214 yr Author Popular Post Woke up at 5am to find out my southwest flight at 11:50am (Austin to Houston to Omaha) originally arriving at 4:50 was moved to depart at 3:15 (Austin to Long. Beach to Vegas to Omaha) arriving at 11:50pm. I’ve been flying all week and the cancellations have been abnormally high…including one I was on Wednesday in Charlotte. Said f this and loaded up the truck. Two hours out from Omaha now. Clear head…smooth drive…nice Texas DPS trooper warning for going a little speedy when he found out we were headed direct to Omaha. Let’s do this boys! \m/

I don’t know what kind of recs you’re looking for. I’ve never been there, but there is a Spearmint Rhino about halfway between the airport and the stadium(so, very close to both). I’m guessing it will be busy the next week or so.
June 19, 20214 yr I'll be at the game on Sunday if any of you lunatics want a free drink- just name the pregame spot.@Lobo
June 19, 20214 yr What are you dragging me into this shit for? I ain't even going. I've done my 4 trips to Texas at the CWS. Maybe someday, I can take my girls...but y'all have fun. It's a freakin' blast. Just help bring us home some hardware.

June 19, 20214 yr I’ll send you my invite code for the old mattress factory party. Sounds like it’s hosted bar and right by stadium with a/c. Gonna be a hot one Sunday.

June 19, 20214 yr My son (rising sophomore at UT) and I sitting in bar in Austin airport. Connect through Dallas arrive around 430. Staying at embassy suites. That looks easily walkable to stadium?
June 19, 20214 yr Can you PM me your email address. I have an old work one for you. I'll email you the details. You both have a great time, can't believe he's a sophomore already...last time I saw him he was like 2.

June 19, 20214 yr Only downside to the Delta club is if you're flying United, that's a decent sized trek to the gate unless you can sneak out a roadie for the long haul to the mid 20's. In my old age, I've also come to realize that about 20% of the people taking last sips of their "bottled water" while waiting in line for TSA pre-check. Yeah, they're sipping free vodka from home before tossing into the trash bine with all the other sipable bomb juice. Saves money and you get a head start on airport bar/lounge drinks. /hannibal

June 19, 20214 yr So it turns out I'm staying at the same hotel as Stanford. Two of the players on the elevator just now were complaining about not being hydrated enough.
June 20, 20214 yr Very happy? To be staying next to you? I doubt it. I've seen your table manners dude. In addition to that other thing, I'm gonna need you to go over to the Harrah's in Council Bluff's tonight and play some blackjack under my name so I can keep my reward status current. Whatever you do, always hit double 8's. Otherwise they'll know you're not me. Edited June 20, 20214 yr by Lobo

June 20, 20214 yr Dude, you nitpick weirder shit of anyone, even me...and that's saying something. It's Iowa...there's no fucking rules up there, even for sky commas. It's 7:30p, I've been doing yard work and watching football and baseball all day...Imma about 9 drinks in already, ain't nobody got time for sky comma lectures.
