    I’m out for this one too Worster. Coming to town for TCU and OU and just can’t do it 3 weeks in a row.

    I've marked my calendar, so I'll try to schedule travel around it.

    But already this week, I've been to Brownwood, Abilene, Eastland, Breckenridge, Throckmorton, Sweetwater, and Lubbock.

    When you gotta go, you gotta go.

    Dammit...WHY a Thursday? Hell, even a Thursday close to home could be problematic...but tack on ~400 miles of driving and that means no alcohol to speak of. And at that point...what's the point?

    We tried it on a Friday, but peeps seemed to have more conflicts to not attend.

    Ok, so in an effort to get you there MB227, I promise our next tailgate will be on a Friday eve in late Nov. or Dec. :beertoast:

    My buddy and I drive up Friday morning. Y’all drink one for me.

    But if any of you hooligans want to join us for a 50s-style malt shop experience, you are welcome to come to Big State Drug in Irving Friday for lunch.

    Thanks! I will pass your good wishes along to Shadowdancer!

    As for a Big State Drug, I guess you could sort of say it was a high school hang out. It actually used to be a real drugstore with a soda fountain, and I ate lunch there at least once a week with my dad when I worked for him as a teen. The drugstore eventually closed and the place was perilously close to extinction, but a couple bought it several years ago and turned it into a popular hang out: burgers and fries, shakes, malts, and so forth.

    Two years ago on the Friday before the OU game, my buddy and I were having our burgers and who walked in but Craig Way and his then-GF/now-wife Linda. That’s when I found out that he used to read my sports stories in the Irving Daily News when he was a student at Northlake College.

    So, I'm still reeling from the loss and HOW the Horns lost.... I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue.

    Anyway, I'm still game for Tolbert's tailgate this Thursday but frankly not real fired up about further cussing & discussing this miserable loss.

    So consider this a temperature reading on those of you that said you will attend.... I'm not of a mind to go if 2 of you show up. That and the ou game would only cause me to drink more adult beverages than I should.... to try and forget that game debacle!

    So, a serious roll call: who will be there Thursday evening?

    I agree Worster. Rehashing Saturday isn't on my bucket list either.
