Question for those that will be at the tailgate Saturday...

[RGV Pony]

Specifically, where is "Raider Alley?" N, S, E, W side of their stadium? Near their stadium? Is it as obvious and easy to find as the Blvd would be to someone visiting SMU?

I roamed around College Station, dodging the aggie band seemingly at every turn, for about 45min last year trying to find where the M-club was having the damn bbq. I'm hoping to be more prepared this time around.

Raider Alley is not really a "tailgate" area per se. It's a bunch of food and merchandise tents, plus a band with a lot of people milling around. This is not a parking area for tailgating. There is not an area to park and tailgate like the boulevard except right next to the stadium, which I think is a reserved lot. People used to tailgate across the street in the grocery store lots, but they have built the Marsha Sharp highway there, and I haven't seen how that affects the situation. Best bet is just to park and ride the bus and wander around by foot.

Raider Alley is out from the Southwest corner of the stadium. Not sure exactly where the SMU tailgate is within the Raider Alley area.

The SMU Tailgate will be at Tent #3 in Raider Village.

From the map I got, it looks like Raider Village is on campus, a little south of the stadium (not right next to the stadium). It looks like it is across from the Mechanical Engineering Building and close to SWC Circle.

I'm glad this year we have a map to go by! Looks like we'll be two tents down from the Lubbock paper....which raises another question, to which I'm sure I know the answer:

Does the DMN have a tent on the Blvd?

A Tech guys goes to the psychiatrist and tells the shrink, "Doc, I've got a recurring nightmare in which I am tee-pee one day and a wig-wam the next. And it keeps repeating night after night after night. It's making me crazy. What's wrong with me?"

To which the doc replies, "Well, besides the fact that you go to Tech, I wouldn't worry too much. You're just two tents."

Like the piece of string that went into a bar and ordered a drink. The bartender told him to get out that he did not serve his type there. The piece of string went outside, shook his end violently until ruffled, and twisted himself around in a loop. The string then went back inside and sat down at the bar. The bartender said "Aren't you the piece of string I just threw out of here?" To which the string replied "No, I'm a frayed knot."

very good, mrydel, just make it a Tech graduate string and we're on the same page.

Example: A mushroom from the Tech horsesh!t labs goes into a bar and orders a drink. Bartender says, "We don't serve your kind here."
"What, Tech grads?"
"No, mushrooms."
"Why not, I'm a fungi."
