I'm glad to see you are still thinking about me, and sorry about that typo.
This is going to be another great game.

Maybe this should go in the Texas visiting thread...but anyway, here's the beer breakdown:
Shiner Bock is the standard. If I moved out of state, and needed a beer to take me back, this would be it. Shiner has a couple of other brews as well (Light, Kolsch, Dunkelwiezen, Hefeweizen, etc). Ziegenbock is the attempt by Budweiser to steal part of Shiner's market.
A couple of local brewers to check out (w/ recommendations):
Real Ale Brewing - Full Moon Rye Ale, Fireman's #4
Independence Brewing - Bootlegger Brown Ale
Live Oak - Hefeweizen
And I guess Lone Star should be thrown in somewhere.

I pick up Shiner at the store once a month or so, and I gotta say it just doesn't do it for me. I can't figure out what's so great about it.

My fear is that the Texas fans will take it out on our fans that attend the game (as I read the reports of ours beer-pouring, swearing, etc of the Texas fans) like we did to them. Especially when we 'dethrone' the champs by giving them their first loss in two years. I think I'll watch this one on the tube.

I don't think you have much to worry about unless you happen to be around someone that actually experienced the craziness last year. If i were guessing texas fans would be much more likely to give you a beer rather than waist it by pouring it on you. not that we're all saints, people are just more likely to be friendly after this season |

It doesn't help that they moved the game to night. People seem to act even stupider under the cover of darkness. We have a few jerks down here, just as every fanbase does, (that doesn't make it excusible in any way) but I think the vast majority of Texans are extremely hospitable and we'll go out of their way to welcome OSU fans. Then again, I was at our Mardi Gras party on 6th street last night, and there were so many totally wasted people--it was kinda scary. |
