GAME #4: FIRST THURSDAY

TEXAS TECH @ TCU

10.11.18

TEXAS TECH - 17 TCU - 14

SO, WE DECIDED EARLY THAT WE CAN ADD ON ANY GAMES WE PLEASE, AS LONG AS THEY ARE ATTACHED TO A 'DART GAME' (I'LL EXPLAIN THAT LATER). 2018 WAS DEDICATED TO OUR SCHOOLS - AUBURN & OREGON - WHERE WE WOULD FIND AND PURCHASE OUR 'UNIFORMS' THAT WILL BE WORN TO EVERY GAME GOING FORWARD. YES, ALL OF THEM. SIXTY-FOUR GAMES. SAME SHIRT & HAT WITH JEANS. YES, WE'RE INSANE.

AS WE WERE BOOKING THE OREGON TRIP, WE SAW THAT TCU WAS PLAYING AT HOME ON THE THURSDAY BEFORE. THAT TRIGGERED A RULE THAT WE HAVE TO SPEND THE NIGHT IN THE SAME TOWN AS THE GAME, SO NO FRIDAY-SATURDAY GAMES (UNLESS IT'S VERY CLOSE TO THE DART GAME). UNFORTUNATELY, WE FLEW IN THE SAME DAY AS THE GAME AND MADE IT TO THE STADIUM BASICALLY AT KICKOFF, SO WE MISSED THE TAILGATING SCENE.

THAT SAID, TCU IS MY FAVORITE GAME THUS FAR. THE RANDOMNESS OF GOING THROUGH FORT WORTH, TEXAS, ON THE WAY TO EUGENE, OREGON, ELEVATED OUR ENERGY FOR THIS TOUR TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL. WE ARE BOTH NOW MORE ENGAGED IN BOTH TCU & TEXAS TECH GAMES WHENEVER THEY'RE ON. AND MY WORD WITH THE WOMEN OF BOTH OF THOSE SCHOOLS! GIDDYUP, TEXAS!

GAME TIP: WALK AROUND THE STADIUM AT HALFTIME. THEY HAVE SOME DAMN GOOD FOOD IN THAT STADIUM AND IT'S A REALLY NICE FACILITY. REALLY ENJOYED TAKING IT ALL IN.

TRAVEL TIP - FORT WORTH CLOSES PRETTY EARLY ON THURSDAY NIGHT, SO BARS AFTER A 7PM GAME ARE BASICALLY CLOSED. I'D RECOMMEND GOING TO A WEEKEND GAME.
