Just a heads-up: we're playing a music show at a friendly icehouse-style joint called Jackson's Watering Hole this Friday evening, which is located just 1.7 miles from Rice U. 9pm-11pm. Add'l details here.

If you want any recommendations as to restaurants or must-see places in town, I'm glad to offer up what I know. While it's not much of a tourist destination, Houston can be a great place to visit -- if you know where to go. The weather should be absolutely perfect.

The Rice & West U area, as well as the adjacent Museum District are truly the city's highlights, in my opinion.

(and excuse the shameless self-promo... to my credit, I cleared it with Harry before posting)

I intend to go by it. I'm a bit disappointed there weren't any plans for a Friday evening rally. And if there were, I'm a bit disappointed I never heard about it, since I'm a member of the exes and on every mail list I've been able to find.

So we'll throw our own unofficial party.

We might head out to the tailgate on Saturday. We live in NW Houston and will probably head out to the The Shack in Cypress with the family the night before. Cool outdoor family friendly restaurant with great burgers and a really good selection of beers if you are looking for something to do the night before the game. The Shack

We will be there 10-12 in our group. Sadly the 11am start is a total buzzkill.

I live next to the stadium. If anyone would like some recommendations, I will be happy to help. Though I get the feeling not many of you plan to drive down.

The Alamo is the cradle of Texas liberty and independence. It is a memorial to the 187 men that fought and died there. It's not intended to be fun.

Did the Alamo move from San Antonio to Houston???

      This was my 80th men's basketball game since my freshman year in 2014. Best game I've seen in person, and I was in Ruston for the big comeback against LA Tech. Overcome an 18-point lead against a bitter rival on national TV with a decent crowd. Imagine a full Pit.

      And that will end right when the current media contract with the AAC expires. You know this. National exposure... We are the least watched game when we are aired. I've seen a running average of less than 100K on several of our games. ESPN can't wait to rip this bloated contract out from underneath the AAC and delegate us to ESPN+. And 5 years? We have been .500 or better in 19 of the 25 seasons this century in basketball. That is consistently putting together a competitive product year after year after year. That will never happen in football. Ever. Given football money will soon be dried up, winning and geographic matchups for all of us peasants will soon mean everything.

      You are living in fairytale land if you think playing in another suburb would significantly increase attendance. Can anyone look up our attendance average for the season we played at old Texas Stadium? If we average more than 20k I would be shocked. The anti-UNT athletics culture of Denton, I can vouch for. But students know this program doesn’t compete at the highest level and usually lose to best known good programs that come to Denton. What is our biggest home win within the last 20 years you would expect a college age football fan to know about? When Seth’s best team crap the bed at home against La Tech(Joe Green statue dedication and etc). But by that time they had already given Seth two extensions for leading team that didn’t win conference or bowl games. 🤷🏽‍♂️

      What a finish. The way go get around the ESPN and ESPN2 and all the alphabet soup is to come to the games. There’s nothing like all the fans standing and yelling “DEFENSE” or NORTH, TEXAS, NORTH, TEXAS, in unison.
