My buddy and I try and see a game somewhere each year.  We missed last year, but were chatting when I was in Cincy over some good wine and came out with Texas.

He says he's never been to Austin and I have a kid living just south of there.

We are looking for a game in October perhaps against a decent but lesser opponent, maybe ISU.
Coolio, let me know if you're coming down and hopefully we can hang out.  Also, I'll try to do a better job of directing you to the good food than your previous hosts did. :)

Just checked our schedule, ISU is actually in Ames this year and it's in November.

Because Texas is the "home" team in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl for TX-OU, we actually only have one October home game in Austin this year, and it's against Kansas on October 19th.  Should be pretty easy to come by relatively inexpensive tickets for that game, and the weather will likely be great.

Flagg-Utica was a local textile plant. Somehow, I never could figure how failing to read three chapters in my geography book about the various sorts of vegetation to be found in a tropical rain forest had anything to do with facing a life as a mill hand. But with enough guilt and fear as catalysts, you can read anything, even geography books and Deuteronomy.

How do you keep a Baptist from drinking all of your beer on a fishing trip?

Invite another Baptist.

The wife is becoming very Southern, except for the accent, which I suppose will remain intact.  She loves grits, fried chicken, greens, sweet tea, and hot weather.

She's not a Baptist though.

I think a little sugar in cornbread is just fine.

And, no, I don't put beans in my chili.

Grits.  Who, acting out of what sense of desperation, invented that as food for people?  Probably the same guy who first fried okra.

Grits is a means to provide corn in a storable way without refrigeration.  It can be superb if properly prepared.  IMHO.

Fried okra is probably my favorite veg.

Grits are just cornbread or tortilla molecules with no bonds.  With butter and bacon crumbles, that's all you need.

Well, there you are.

I like a lot of southern food.  Fried chicken and beans w/ cornbread top the list.

But I draw the line at fried okra.  When I was growing up, everyone in my family liked 'em except for me.  Every family get-together, there they'd be, stinking up the kitchen and the dining room.

I don't like collared greens either.  Whatever you season 'em with, however much bacon you add, you still taste the bitterness.

Grits are actually OK, I suppose.  Inoffensive nothingness, however prepared.  They taste like whatever you put on 'em.  How they are still considered a regional delicacy is beyond me, though.

None of these foods got started because they were good.  They got started because better food either wasn't available or wasn't affordable.
