We made our plans to go to the Rice game on Oct 30th last night. Will do the LTAC tailgate before the game. I badly want to make the bus trip to Moo St on Oct 17th but have a conflict I can't get out of.
Who else is planning their Bulldog Football Road Trips?
We (3 of us) made our plans earlier in the spring. We will travel to the Mississippi State game on Oct. 17th and the Rice game on Halloween eve. (All Hallows Eve - eve)
My wife and I had planned to attend the Western Kentucky game until it moved to Thursday. Too far a drive for a work night and not enough vacation to attend.
Hoping for a CCG rematch, preferably in Ruston, but Huntington is only 3 hours away. Very tempted to try to make the Middle Tennessee game though.
Hoping to go to San Antonio.
Should be able to make the short trip from Jackson to Starkville. Went to the USM/MS state game in Starkville last year, hopefully we give them a better game than USM did.
Miss State: could be four HAUGHTON BUCS on the field that Saturday. Annual fall vacation around a road game, going on through Tennessee and South Carolina but getting back to Ruston for the following Saturday vs MTSU. Then hopefully to Dallas or an "access bowl" for some post season action.
Either Moo State or Rice. Probably Moo State.
None :(
Sportdawg Jr started football this year! Friday in Houston not good with two kiddos & the UTSA game is during Cub Scout campout weekend.
Wife and I will make the Rice game.
I'll be at thw WKU game, and I'm even bringing some (real) UL fans, maybe even a UK fan or two. I spoke to the Alumni center and they are not doing any tailgate or anything since it's a Thursday night game.
Probably Moo State since Kyle said that's what he wants for his birthday and maybe UTSA...
If we take our cow bells to the Moo State game, we shouldn't have any problem getting them into the stadium.
Moo State for us.
The wife and I already have reservations for KanST, MissST, and UTSA but may switch from UTSA to Rice.
Moo State
Gonna be hearing cow bells like many of you.
I am hoping for San Antonito- waiting for my kids soccer schedules to see if that will happen or not.
Going to Miss. St and any bowl game except Bahamas and Miami. Would love to go to San antonio game . Great place to visit.
Rice for sure. Maybe UTSA as well.
I'm planning to go to Rice, Mississippi State, and San Antonio at a minimum plus a bowl game.
UTEP, Western Kentucky, and Kansas State are maybes at the moment.
I am one of the three mentioned. We are looking forward to supporting our Dawgs and having a good time.:) GO DAWGS!!Quote:

Lots of changes since y'all were in Starkville last. Hope you have a great visit!
Looks like cow bells ARE allowed at the stadium for the Mississippi State Game! I'm taking mine!!! Here are the rules for prohibited items for Davis Wade Stadium:
Prohibited Items:
Alcohol, bags/backpacks (larger than 14 in. x 14 in. x 8 in.), balls, banners, beverages, bottles, cameras with detachable lenses, containers, drugs, fireworks, flags, food, frisbees, handheld radios and televisions (permitted with headsets), ice chests, irritants, firearms, knives, noisemakers (except cowbells), picnic baskets, signs, thermoses, video cameras or weapons are prohibited in the stadium. Gate personnel are instructed to enforce this rule. Stadium security has the right to inspect any item at any time for the purpose of spectator safety. Prohibited items must be returned to cars or disposed of before entering the stadium.
All our Ruston games are road games for us! However, also flying to K-State game and will have to see if can sneak another in somewhere.
And Rice is a "home" game for me. San Antonio is only 200 miles, and it's all interstate, so about three hours.Quote:

Ever thought about making a 200 mile trip in 2 hours? It can be done in Texas.
Rice, UTSA and bowl game, maybe UTEP on Southwest.
Not any more. Like you said 10 miles over the speed limit. That would be 85 after you get out two counties away from Harris County (That Austin County going west -- Brookshire and Sealy not Austin, Tx. For those of you who don't know Austin is in Travis County and Houston is in Harris County - Houston County is somewhere up east where Crockett is)Quote:

Anything more goes to the state, so the small towns don't want to go to the trouble if they can't keep the money. Some towns have gotten into trouble for not sending the overage to the state and have lost their police department certification. Kendleton on US 59 south near me is one example.Quote:

Taking cowbells to Miss St games as a Tech fan is about the same as wearing red to a Tech game at Cajun field...
Smart fans just don't do it

I make as much noise as I can when the "OTHER TEAM" has the ball on 3rd and 4th down. My two cowbells help out. I use them in the JOE and will use them at the Miss ST game! I don't see a problem with that!Quote:

Hope to make all the games in Ruston, and host as many Tech fans as I can at the Rice game. Also never been to San Antonio so I am looking forward to visiting there as well.Quote:

Tell him it's a family emergency.Quote:

I'm making the trip to WKU. Is it worth it to sit in the "Tech section" for the same price as MUCH better seats in the "WKU sections?" I feel like my money is better spent watching the game from the 40 yard line than it is in the corner of the endzone. I also want to be amongst my people, though. Thoughts?
Stadium will be empty when we are up by 20. You can move get the Tech fans down with you in the second half.Quote:

Bought a group of 10 tickets from StubHub for the Mississippi State game. Bringing a group of 8 Tech fans and 2 MSU fans. Hopefully this time we won't throw an INT from FG range at the end of the 4th :((
Planning to be at Rice game.
have business in Houston Wed-Thurs of that week. Just have to stay over thru Friday.
