Bowl Tailgating

[untcampbell]

HouCat, appreciate your input and friendly banter. Your crew (literally your tailgate crew) will outnumber NT fans this year because:

We can't afford bowl game pricing.

We, with a long history of bowl losses, feel our 7-5 opponent doesn't merit playing a 6-6 team.

We don't like the AD because he weakly addressed the NIL situation.

We feel overmatched because our rent-a-QB (and WR, etc) cancelled his lease before the game and all remaining players, well, see the part about losing bowl games.

We basketball.

We tailgate, and $MU won't let us. And if they did, we would tailgate the whole game and not be in the stadium because, well, see the part about losing bowl games.

We wanted to play in New Mexico or Shreveport or the Bahamas or Boston, or not Frisco.

We don't want to play in $MU's house because, well, see the part about losing bowl games and because we never beat the team whose house we will be playing in.

We can't afford to give NIL money so we can't overpay players on one year contracts that will require even more money to stay a second year.

We don't like cold weather, or warm weather, or sunny or rainy weather.

We don't like the uniforms that the players that aren't paid much decide they want to wear.

We aren't willing to risk the chance that the $MU A/V system will be loud and will interrupt the band.

 

Prove me wrong, good guys, or otherwise #FlameAway.

 

HouCat, see you in Dallas. I'll be the one wearing green. And I hope to share a dram of a nice peaty, smoky Scotch with you. Inside and/or outside the stadium.

Texas State marched all over your beloved Boulevard at last year's FRB

If it helps any, this is where our group has been tailgating for years whenever we played SMU.  Never had one problem with setting up the BBQ grill, TV, etc.

Can you tailgate behind your vehicle?  This is Burleson Park according to Google Maps.

Yeah we don't allow the Blvd to be used for non SMU events.  Basically there is not any tailgating for the minor bowls and other events.  The Blvd is owned by SMU and reserved for SMU sporting events.  You will just need to go to some of the sports bars and restaurants off Greenville and over by Le Madeline etc if you are wanting to do any pre-game meals etc.  Also most of the lower cost parking is on the other side of 75.  I would expect most UNT people would be taking the public transit that drops off at Mockingbird Station.

Wow, so small time. One of the reasons this venue is such a beating. It's not just because SMU plays there.

Yeah, I don't even park on campus.

Just got refund on my tickets 

The mean green ticket office called and said the tickets I already purchased were not charged correctly and I needed to pay an additional $50 to keep the seats I already paid for. 

I told them to kick rocks and refund the entire amount. 

 

Ended up getting 2 free tickets for the game. 

 Now I'm willing to attend.
