1) Anyone know where Ponies are staying in Lubbock

2) Are SMU section seats on sale?

3) Any pre-game festivities being planned for fans making the trip?

4) Never been to Lubbock, so will hotels be a problem Sunday night?

Assume we may get a nice little turn out there --- My sons want to go and could make it a nice Father-Son(s) road trip.

Bring it.

A number of folks on this board are staying at the Overton Hotel. In years past, the team stayed at the Holiday Inn. Hotels fill up fast, especially those worthwhile. In years past Embassy Suites has filled up quick. There is a Hampton on the same side of town as Embassy (southwest..near Brownfield highway).

Mustang Club has had a tent with a couple of kegs and food of some sort the last couple of times.

SMU seats on sale I believe this coming week. We'll get an email or check smumustangs.com.

There is 3 or 4 of us going, I ask if they had any projections of how many SMU fans are going,but could not get a number. I was told the SMU Band is going.

from everything I've seen and heard, it seems like we'll have a bigger contingent out there than we have before, which is good news.

The game time is less than desirable. East Side at 2:30 p.m. - sitting (or standing like we had to do at the infamous A&M game a few years back) three hours in the direct sun. :roll: I'm taking my dematologist along for treatment on-the-spot. See you there. Pony Up.

Stay at the Overton. I hear it's like Hotel Za Za combined with the Ritz, only without everything nice that those hotels have.
