Anyone going to the Rice Game?

[meanJewGreen]

Will be in houston with the fiancee and trying to wrangle both mavs and UNT tickets for the weekend. Anyone else planning on going to the game?

[texmusic]

My oldest son and I will be at the Mavs game and the family will all be at the Rice game the next day.  

[NTEX91]

Making plans to be there as well.

[UNTexas]

Planning on being there. Anything going on prior to the game? A few years ago NT had a get together at a bar near the stadium.

A maybe for me. All depends on the week. 

[Stix]

I most certainly will be there.

I don't think there's ever been an official get-together.  We certainly can do something, but since the game is at 2pm, there's not much time beforehand.  How about after?  As for where, I was going to suggest Buffalo Wild Wings, but apparently it's been closed.  Any other suggestions?

Free. The Mavs tickets were given to me by one of my vendors at the office.

I have a schedule conflict, but I hope to be there anyway if the timing can work out.

I'm reffing a college game 3 hours away so I'll have to miss this game for the first time in a good number of years.  Bummed.

[Hunter Green]

I'll be there with the Houston fam.

[kj86]

I will be there.  The Ginger Man at Rice Village after.

[meanJewGreen]

Also.... if any Houston folks have someone willing to sell me Mavs/Rockets tickets for the Friday before... please let me know. 

[HoustonEagle]

I will be there.  Ginger Man after sounds like a good idea.

[Eagle71]

My wife and I will be there and we're meeting a high school classmate who I haven't seen since our graduation in May of 1967, along with her husband.  Their son played football at Rice so I"m guessing they won't be wearing green, but we will.  GMG! Fly Like An Eagle!

Ginger Man it is, then.

A warning for those coming from out-of-town:  It seems like whenever NT has a game in Houston, the 610 West Loop gets shut down - here we go again...

If for some reason you're heading to the game up SW Freeway (US59 / I-69), you might take 90-A instead, which becomes S. Main, and will take you directly to the Rice U. / Medical Center area.
