Since we're talking NO... Will there be any tailgating? I'm working the game (TV), and will get a break a few hours before kick. I'd like to meet some fans. Maybe even bring a camera for bump shots, rollouts etc.

Hold everything- the team is staying at the airport- the party is at Burbon st. Advancement (ie. since they asked if many people would go to the game) will have a get-together down town area ( 30 minutes from the AP). Bourbon ST. is down town soooooo. Get a room in walking distance to to dome & you'll find the tailgate/ fun prior to the game & after wards...

Yep...if you have NO LUGGAGE at all, and if you put nothing in the overhead and if you want nothing to eat OR drink, etc., etc. you are great with Spirit. Otherwise, I would avoid them like the plague. They serve a purpose and can be a low-cost way to get from place to place, and I would not worry about safety. BUT, they are FEE DRIVEN..so get ready for that. Often the fees...which can be high...well off-set the "low" cost one gets for the actual ticket. To me they are the world's best at bait and switch and hiding fees that the airline industry (all pretty good these days at that sort of thing) has ever produced! They put AA to shame with their fee tactics! All disclosed, as they say...but do you really read all that stuff?

You will get there and get back just fine...but the warning to "pack light" is a really really good one. Do not say you were not warned.

To San Diego and Las Vegas belong to $9 fare club. No problem as long as you book online and pay for any bag checked online $20. for one checked bag. No charge for anything that fits under the seat. Has been on time and is cheaper and closer to DFW than SW

Spirit's fees are not hidden at all, they state them explicitly. Most of the angst comes from travellers who don't bother to check it out or think they can get away with something and fail to do so. It's a bad choice for taking a long trip or one requiring lots of luggage. It's a good choice for flights of less than 2 hrs AND traveling (very) light. The one thing that trips up most folks is the overweight luggage charge starts at 40 lbs instead of 50 like other airlines. Again, it's not "hidden" but easy to be caught unaware of how much your checked luggage weighs.

      Keeler to Temple

      🙄 like I have stated before DC under a lame duck coach is not a highly desired job for coaches with options.

      That is very subjective. Boise State or UNLV probably will get the G5 spot in the playoff over a one loss Army team. Louisville, SMU, Houston, Rutgers and Cincinnati left conference for greener pastures. So I don’t know who anointed the AAC as 5th, but the playoff committee isn’t listening to them. Army, a team brand new to the conference that came into the conference and dominated. They were independent juggernauts last year at 6-6 🙄. AAC is viewed as better than the MAC, CUSA and Sun Belt. But we certainly won’t be viewed as better than the reconstructed PAC 12 and right now it doesn’t look like we are viewed better than the current MWC.

      Football at The Dat next wrekend

      Don't if y'all know this or not.....but the last two years we've had Texas high school football games played in Louisiana. Both years the games have been at Turpin Stadium in Natchitoches. As a matter of fact, this year they hosted two games on the same day. (Daingerfield versus Newton, and Texarkana versus Port Neches Grove). Both games were last Friday.

      The exact same thing was probably thought by other fan bases about Eric, Seth, Dan, and any other head coach we’ve hired here.
