I went to the bowl game thread (not official, other bowl games mentionable)

[Super PurpleCat]

So I drove down to Houston with my girlfriend last Wednesday on a mission to attend two bowl games in one week, the other being the Citrus Bowl in Orlando on Saturday.

She being an LSU fan she offers to meet me halfway and we both wear purple at both games.   Me being someone who desires having a girlfriend I agree to this plan.

The KSU tailgating in Houston was kinda weak, many millennials around who did not care to speak with some strange bearded guy in his late 30s who talks too much about the 1990s LHC Bill Snyder.  NRG stadium has shitty parking and is in a sketchy area.   

Stadium is nice, our seats are near the top surrounded by many boring Aggie fans.  Most were families with their kids and all were glued to their smartphones the entire time, only stopping to whoop or something randomly.  Very strange people.

The KSU fans on the other hand that were there were all very attractive, fun and basically college football stud-fans.  Every shot on the jumbotron proved this, as all the A&M fans that were on there just stared forward in silence as if Jesus was staring at them knowingly about the masturbation session that almost took place in the hotel that morning.

LSU girlfriend agreed with all of these things, and even added that KSU band outclassed the A&M military weirdo band on all phases of halftime things.  I just drank my beer and smiled.  I like her.

Saturday in Orlando was very interesting as well.  I wore a blank purple shirt with a K-State hat and an LSU sticker on my face because that's what guys with LSU girlfriends do.  I'm not sure if the Citrus Bowl could advertise Buffalo Wild Wings any more than they did but I'm sure they're still trying.  I'll probably never eat at BWW again without getting into a cold sweat.   

LSU had a pretty good defense, they're fast.  Louisville on the other hand look like rough ridin' turds.  How they were ever ranked or won a Heisman I do not know.  I had to mention to LSU girlfriend that if they were in the Big 12 they would never have been mentioned on ESPN at all.  She looked at me with a "please don't let this be another SEC vs Big 12 rant again", so I just drank my beer and smiled.

We ended the trip with the LSU family in Baton Rouge and I got to see their campus and eat at Pastime, got their original Po Boy and it was pretty badass.

Thanks for listening.

Thanks for sharing S PC!

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.

Did KSU fans chant SEC to mock aTm after the game?

[Super PurpleCat]

The KSU fans did that but the best was walking down the ramps at NRG after the game and everyone was chanting "WE OWN TEXAS".  Was glorious and almost made up for 98.   

[DOD Take 2]

Personally didn't think NRG was in too sketchy of an area - Rice Village isn't very far away. Agree completely with strange Aggie fans, they are a weird bunch.

My biggest issue was the game ended really late, and around 12:40am some dick in a golf cart came by and told we had to leave the parking lot as "there are no after parties". He was a real douche canoe about the whole thing. We really hadn't been out there very long to that point, just trying to drink some cold brews and relish in the W a bit...

[Super PurpleCat]

Well I thought it was a bit sketchy as we purchased parking for a spot on some street and the parking wasn't there, so had to shell out cash for that Holiday Inn up the street.  I guess I just expected more.

I held the gf's phone and stuff while she went on the Houston Texans slide with the other small kids.  I got some "wtf" looks from the A&M men, I winked at them.  This is America, fools, we do what we want.

The golf cart crew was indeed weird.  And how about all those concentration camp type gates at NRG?  Bizarre.

[Emo EMAW]

SPC have you ever been to Bayou Manchac?  How bout the Alligator Bar?  Would you mind submitting a DNA sample?

[Super PurpleCat]

The name Bayou Manchac sounds like all the other weird words I heard out of people's mouths in Baton Rouge.  Don't remember going there but we did also go to George's under I-10.   Place was tiny but reminded me of Aggieville with pretty badass food.

Are you wearing blue suede shoes?

Yeah I ubered so I didn't have to deal with parking, but they made it insanely difficult to do. The guy on the golf cart tried to tell me uber pickup/dropoff area was 1.2 miles away from the stadium. I laughed in his face. But those weird gates there mumped me. They literally have the entire parking area fenced off by like 8 foot high chain-link so you had to go back through those gates. Of course there wasn't signage so we walked way out of route too.

[Super PurpleCat]

Gray canvas Vans.  You know, the ones Elvis used to skate with back in the day.

[Super PurpleCat]

Oh crap, forgot to mention, as I was walking up our section with a new beer sometime in the 2nd quarter or so, some rando LSU fan dude yelled "HEY K-STATE GUY" at me.  I turned around and he was over in his seat and yelled "Great job kicking A&M's ass the other day, I really like Coach Snyder and hope you guys keep him forever".  I walked over there and talked to him a bit, at the end said "Go Tigers" and he clapped me on the shoulder hard enough to spill half my beer, said the next one was on him.  LSU fans were pretty rad.

That's a really long winded statement to yell at someone

[Super PurpleCat]

LSU fans like to talk.

[SkinnyBenny]

HEY SUPER PURPLECAT IF YOU HAD TOLD ME YOU WERE COMING TO BATON ROUGE I WOULD'VE MADE THE HOUR AND TWENTY MINUTE DRIVE TO COME GIVE YOU A PURPLE HUG IN PERSON

[Super PurpleCat]

WELP

I GUESS I SHOULD BE DEMOTED FROM PURPLE HUG GIVER

[WonderMeal]

I've eaten at George's before. Good choice, SPC.

I can confirm that LSU fans are nice and like to talk.

I feel like in the south, you don't draw as much of a distinction.
