September 20, 20187 yr What is the ideal time to get there for the game? Best places to park? It's 1:33pm and OU still sucksDon't drive, uber/lyft or dart. Way easier and cheaper. Time depends on your taste. Some get there real early. We usually get there around 930 for an 11am kick, pound some beers before, then do the fair afterwards. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

September 20, 20187 yr Not really and even if it was the Fair seems to have no problem staying open until well past dark. Everybody says this all the time. Yet living in DFW most of my life I’m pretty sure the local media isn’t regularly reporting carnage and bloodshed befalling night time fair goers for 24 days each year. Hell some SoCal hippie got his ass beat last weekend by a dad on the West side of DKR. Yea I never understand the statements about how dangerous the fair is. Nothing ever really happens. I go to the state fair classic as well and it's just a bunch of fun. I've never had issues unless it was just idiots inside the fair

Tear down/begin renovations on the Cotton Bowl the day after Texas beats OU in 2021 and build hard and fast to complete 3 years in 2024. From then on we hold it in the Cotton Bowl until the 200th anniversary where we'll do renovations again. Why the living fuck would you want to tear down one of the few truly great football stadiums we have left in this country?

September 20, 20187 yr This thread better be full of skillful trolls, because if any of you fucks are serious I am gonna have to meet y'all in Temecula.
September 20, 20187 yr I don't think an OU/Texas game has ever kicked off at 2:00p. Or at least none in the last 50+ years, no 2:00p starts...ever. But yes, most of us wanted a 2:30p/ kickoff.
September 20, 20187 yr I’m good with anything from 12:30-3:00, but the networks seem to be locked into 11:00 and 2:30 for day games. 1:30 would be ideal.

The most recent round of renovations that took the capacity up to ~92K, bowled the endzone upper decks, widened the concourses, and added new entrance/egress points, has been very good. There are still a few problems, but the situation now is totally workable, and about a million times better than it was before that last reno. Edited September 20, 20187 yr by utee94

September 20, 20187 yr Author Actually the Dallas politicians are the ones putting the band aids on this thing after everything went to JerryWorld. They've put a decent amount of money into that stadium for essentially one big game, 1 lower tier game, 1 no one gives a shit about game, and an afterthought late December bowl game. And before someone hits back about JerryWorld, the last thing in this world I would've wanted is a shrine to how college football used to be torn down for that shitfest cavern in Arlington going in at Fair Park. Texas OU should never set foot in a stadium like JerryWorld unless it's a rematch in the ridiculous Big 12 CCG.
September 20, 20187 yr I've always liked you but now I like you a little more. The game should never move

There should be a clause in the B12 rules that says CCG is at the cotton bowl if it's Texas-OU. No fair, no problem.Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
September 20, 20187 yr Some of the people on this thread probably want the Cotton Bowl renovated because it doesn't have enough in-stadium shopping experiences, luxury boxes, party decks, and Sodexo-staffed outlets of their favorite shitbag chain fast food restaurants.

September 20, 20187 yr I grabbed a hotel to sleep in. Was hoping for 2:30. At least it will be over early.

Six Flags is right next door with better rides.

If you haven't gotten used to 11am or noon kickoffs by now, that's on you. I'll be up at 6am and I'll have a bloody mary in my hand before 7am. It's Texas/OU. They could play at 4am in a parking lot and I'd be ready. Step your game up. Exactly. I’m 39. Not even a man yet...still I’ll be up the entire night and raging at the Cotton Bowl too. Let’s not get into what fuels me...

September 20, 20187 yr All you folks wanting home and home vs OU, you really want that many gooners in Austin...even if it is every other year?

Do not underestimate the stupidity of Dallas City Council / County Commissioners. They will burn you every time.
September 20, 20187 yr Is the online ordering for the coupons the same this year as last? There is only a pick-up option now vs the Fedex/UPS option that has been there in the past. Anyone buy their tickets online and pick them up game day in past years? I assume it's the same long lines for those buying the coupons at the Fair.

If the Dallas City Council tells Del Conte they won't allow him to move the 2022 and 2023 games away from the Cotton Bowl to a home-and-home, coming back in 2024 (assuming he wants to), bet money the Cotton Bowl will never host another UT/OU game after 2025. With the GOR expiring in 2023, showcasing both UT and OU football at that time will mean incredible money to both schools, and probably to a number of other schools. 11am kickoff at the Cotton Bowl isn't showcasing UT or OU football. It is the same old same old. Celebrating the history of the rivalry needs to happen somehow.

September 21, 20187 yr Yes, many marquee games start at 11:00a/12:00p-ET. The reason OU/TX is different is because 80% of the fanbase is coming from out of town instead of 20%.
September 21, 20187 yr Some of you people are now getting to see why for all his aggy baiting Randy Duke is actually a massive pain in the ass blow hard

September 21, 20187 yr Yeah there is something great about being parked and cracking your first beer before the sun comes up. This year I will be leaving home at 6am to make it to parking lot at 7am when it opens. Drink beer until 10. Head into stadium (with flask). After game heading straight to Love Field to catch a flight to Vegas for the McGregor fight, then out to a party afterwards. Good chance I'll be dead by Sunday. Or should I say your liver....
