The Indy Bowl's real heyday was from 1998-2009, when every matchup was SEC vs. Big XII

I had two clients that were aTm players in the snow bowl. After a while, I was comfortable enough to give them shite about losing to Miss St.

I also made it on the broadcast at the end of the game and beginning of Sportscenter for having a "Sportscenter is next" sign at the Bama-Colorado game in Saban's first year. It said "Ohio State Tiger Bait" at the bottom of the sign.

This is probably the date for Texas-OU. Maybe swap the Ms St and Texas dates?

LSU brought a smaller version of their band but they never left the stands. And the in-game producer fricked up and played audio over two-thirds of the one song they played. The only song I heard them play, anyway. Pretty lame

---

Yeah, I could barely hear them just one section over. It didn't even seem like the regular size of the travel band and they did blast the piped in music just about any time they played except for after the touchdown.

As I told everyone after the game, good luck in the playoffs! Pulling for yall over everyone else :cheers:

Checking back in after the game... I wanna start off by saying I'm genuinely looking forward to going back the next time LSU plays at Oklahoma!

You guys had great suggestions, and Oklahoma fans are great to hang out with. We watched the Texas-aTm game at Happy Monk Friday night, and had a lot of fun with the staff and other people there. I was twerking upside down in a handstand against the wall at one point. Don't ask for more details. We stayed up there playing pool most of the night.

We caught an uber to the stadium Saturday around noon. We took a redneck tailgate with us, passed out jello shots to random fans of both teams, and found a good spot in the sun to hang out before the game. We caught the band coming down the street on their way into the stadium. I gave what was left to a group next to us when we were ready to head in.

The line to get into the stadium moved pretty quick, and we got to our seats in time for all the pregame stuff. We sat in the upper side of section 14. I introduced us to the folks around us as "this is my wife, she's an OU fan. This is my best friend, he's a Texas fan. And I'm about to be the most annoying part of your life for the next 4 hours" :lol: We had a good time during the game talking ball, talking shite, and making fun of each other. One of the guys a couple rows in front of us passed up a bottle of crown he'd snuck in. He told me to keep it as he pulled out a second bottle from his coat.

After the game, we ran into a guy that asked me if anything had happened with Lane Kiffin yet. We were walking in the same general direction, heading to the uber we'd called. He took us to a tailgate and we ended up canceling the uber and staying all the until we were helping them break down the tailgate and load up. Players parents were there, and my wife and I were chatting with Derek Simmons' mom, dad, and sister for quite a while. It was pretty cool hearing the family/player side of the portal and NIL, dealing with transfers and new coaches, and his mom despises Tennessee fans more than Texas fans :lol: I genuinely hope the best for the kid as he moves on in his career.

All in all, 10/10 can't wait to go back in a few years. Hopefully it won't be 40 degrees next time!

I didn’t have Christmas growing up. No gifts. No tree. Just a normal day.

My parents would tell you that Christmas was a secular holiday and had nothing to do with Christ and that we could celebrate Christ everyday.

---

I grew up in a cult that forbids celebrating all holidays, birthdays, etc. I didn't wake up and get out until my mid-30s. I didn't start doing any holiday stuff until I met my wife. The first times I wrapped and opened presents, it was very awkward and I still felt like I was doing something wrong.

I'd never even had a birthday party until she planned a surprise at my fire station for my 40th.

We have a 3 year old daughter that loves the lights, and I find myself doing more around the house and ranch just to see her enjoy it. For the "it's commercialized and you're only doing it for the kids" crowd, so what. I've missed out on enough. My wife and kids don't have to miss out because I was raised in a brainwashing cult.

Hi Hunter.

Where are you staying at? Did you happen to get a room at the Noun?

No, I booked a cheap hotel room because of the uncertainty with the pregnancy. We haven't had the best of luck previously, and I'll leave it at that. If the trip wasn't gonna happen, I didn't want to spend a lot or be worrying about refunds. We're still only a couple of miles from campus corner.
