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.

the crowd on 6th for mardi gras is nothing like a gameday crowd.
