  1. wunderground.com: 95 at 3 pm, 96 at 4 and 5, 95 at 6. 

    I remember how Texxas Jam never cancelled because of hot weather. In fact, they intentionally staged the concerts in June, July or August for 10 straight years in the 70's and 80's. Very unpredictable holding a concert in the Cotton Bowl in the summer months in Texas. You never know what the weather will be like.

    Somehow, both fans and bands made it through.

  2. I don't go often, usually when most of my regulars can't make it to the game. Think last game of the season. Some things may have changed since the last time I was there.

    They have all members on a list, so you just give them your name. They will probably put a band on your wrist. I believe one person can get in with you.

    Food usually is an outside caterer (not the school or any department), or has been in the past. BBQ, and I think they had gumbo one time.

    Water and sodas gratis, beer and wine for purchase.

    Usually more than one college game playing on the screens, and sometimes they have live music.

  3. The only things worth saving at Fouts were the in/out, JMGC on-field half time and post-game on field policies.

    It also had a great grassy tailgate area on the band practice field, I believe. Grass you could walk and run on barefooted.

    But I do have many, many fond memories of the place.

  4. Welcome to stop by our tailgate....nothing fancy (unless you like a good peaty Scotch and a pre-game pickle), but the folks at Cal treated us nicely when we were there a few years back. I was surprised at how many aligned with us in political discussion, but don't let that scare you if you align differently. Plenty of waters and other beverages, and we are toying with how to feed 12-15.

    We will be at the south end of the Blue parking lot, under a UNT pop-up shade. Silver GMC Acadia.

    Travel safely.

  5. As a native of the town of the cow, I used to explain the difference between Dallas and Fort Worth as what happens after work. Dallas gets in the BMW and goes straight to happy hour in its suit. Fort Worth goes home, gets its first beer from the fridge, changes into shorts and flips (or jeans and boots) and is off to happy hour.

    Now I will just use Dallas is $MU, Fort Worth is TCU. The difference....TCU earned its place in the hierarchy, $MU bought it.
