Texas Athletics
« on: March 08, 2013, 09:57:11 pm »
Twitter seems to be blowing up with rumors that something big is going down (like, Dodds on his way out-level big).

Anything substantive out there?

I saw this subject and was trying to figure out why Oakland would move their franchise to San Antonio.

Oakland's been trying to move a few miles away for years.  You think that Selig will allow them to move to the Astros' backya...

fuck.

They are our natural rival.  It would make perfect sense to have them in San Antonio, which is our natural rival city.

The twitterverse frequently is fulleth of shit. Exhibit 1 being the recent rumors of Les Miles resigning over an affair with a female co-ed.

I thought all of the twitter commotion was because the university is going to begin selling alcohol at its sporting events. Dodds assures everyone that this decision is not motivated by money, you understand, but because they want to 'do the right thing.'

So let me get this straight...right now you *can't* buy a beer at a UT football game?

UH is the only college that allows it, at least in Texas.

I think there were more options this year.  If their baseball game is not rained out I can confirm what is sold there.

Karbach, Shiner, and several others too.  Rice also sells beer, but you can only drink it in their beer garden, can't take it back to your seat.

UT does that. Sorta. At least the 2 games I've gone to as a guest of a faculty member, at halftime we were able to go into a large tent-like structure behind the south end zone and drink beers. But you had to drink them there. And I think we had a special pass to get inside. So maybe not the same.

In my section you can drink in the concession area, but not in your seat.

Texas State has a full bar for the suite and club level seats. It's about the only way to watch Fran "coach" without getting violent.
