Why bring up the cotton?

Why have a black out game in the middle of the day?

Cotton is a big industry in West Texas. We had a "Celebrate Cotton" game last year as well, though that one was a white out (with the team wearing white uniforms at home), because, you know, cotton is white.

That was my thought. A black out game in mid-day in central fucking Texas? That's just stupid.

Lubbockonians are not known for their intelligence. Read: forcing the Pirate out for personality differences after he built your program from the ground up and made it a perennial contender... Lol

Bristol Motor Speedway (TN) is already counting down to the Virginia Tech/Tennessee game in 2016.

Seating arrangement is kinda strange... Stadium is too big for football if I'm being honest.

This reminded me of the photos people came up with, including one where I put a bunch of stadiums and national monuments inside the center of Talladega Motorspeedway.

What it's supposed to look like:


What we think of it as:

Even if it looks like the former, the fans are still so far away from the game they won't be able to see anything. The UCF and Penn State game in Ireland had the fans far enough away. Having them be behind the track is going to be ridiculous. Anybody that goes to this is just going for the novelty of it, it's going to be horrible to watch in person.

Just flipped on Finebaum on SEC, and they were playing a video from a Georgia fan. The video was framed in wood paneling, which couldn't have been more perfect.


Now I miss Shutdown Fullback even more.

Apparently we're going to have an SEC officiating crew in Lubbock this weekend. Kind of curious why we had a C-USA officiating crew when we played a C-USA team on the road but now we don't get a Big XII crew for a home game.
