BAYLOR GAME in WACO on Saturday DEC. 3RD @ 2:30 PM CST

[Dallas Dan]

Any Muskies going to the game in Waco? I'm now in Broken Arrow, OK., so its a seven hour drive through DFW for me.

[XMuskieFTW]

Flying in Saturday morning. Flight gets into DAL at 11:15 so hoping to get to Waco around 1-1:30. I'm in section 106 row 9.

[THRILLHOUSE]

I'll be making the drive from Austin. Section 122 Row 7 (technically the first row of that section)

[Dallas Dan]

Great. I will see what sections are available. 'Have not been to the arena, so not sure about ability to change levels/section.

[GoMuskies]

I eyed that as a potential (long) road trip, but I have to go north to KC for a gymnastics meet instead. I'm jealous of you guys for sure. Bring home a winner!

[Tardy Turtle]

I heard your rhythmic gymnastics routine with the ribbon is killer.

You've heard?!? You're in the front row for every one of the meets. You know.

I half jokingly proposed a trip to Waco to my fiancé a few months back. Since she's not a basketball fan and we're budgeting for a wedding/honeymoon in 2017, I assumed she'd immediately shut it down. However, to my surprise, she loved (and I mean LOVED) the idea and immediately began scouring the internet for hotel rooms.

Sensing something was up, I remained non-committal by giving her the ol "let me check my calendar at work tomorrow" bit...

In total confusion, I called her best friend and asked her why on earth she would be so excited to go to Waco Texas... which up to that point, I knew merely for Baylor sports and David Koresh.

Turns out, the HGTV show she's obsessed with called 'Fixer Upper' is filmed in Waco, and they have a home goods store there. Apparently, women from all over the country are flocking to Waco... like monarch butterflies migrating to Mexico... all for the opportunity to go to this store, stand in line for hours, pay $200 for damn laundry basket and then pay to ship it home.

This same thing could be accomplished in 10-minutes with trip to Wal-Mart for about $15... counting gas.

Women are crazy

All my female coworkers mentioned this show and that store when I mentioned I was going to Waco.

We had an interior designer here about an hour ago to help us with some stuff. When my wife initially met her her first words were "my style is Joanna Gaines" (from the show) .

Best not tell her about the Dr. Pepper Museum.

Your wife has good taste. Joanna Gaines is totally my style too.

I don't know that I would admit to that.

How about Mr. Pibb?

My wife actually looked into it - they remodel then stage the house, but then they take back all the furnishings. You can mess with someone with that tidbit if you're feeling in the mood.

HA! My wife loves that show! Crap I should have used that to get a roadtrip myself for the game there!

[XUOHTX]

I ('04) will be there with my father ('80) and my son ('34). Buying tickets today.

[XMuskieFTW]

Looks like Baylor still has about 800-1000 tickets available for this game just on ticketmaster and they're selling most of those for 5 dollars each. Pretty surprised they haven't sold this out. Their arena holds about the same as Cintas.

[X-band '01]

A number of their fans may be watching their football finale at West Virginia instead. That game kicks off at 3:30 PM ET/2:30 PM CT.

[pimpinthebox]

The pimpinthebox will be there. Meeting up with Texas X. (Does that guy even post anymore?)

[pimpinthebox]

Oh yeah, and GO, we need to talk gymnastics off-line. Might land at the same meet someday.

[GoMuskies]

Great, and TT will be there cheering us both on!

I'll send you a PM.

Enjoy the game and your new laundry basket.

The $5 are for fans 17 and under - other tickets are $10 for upper-deck and $30 for lower-deck seating.

I guess I'll be the 5th one checking in - will be flying into Austin and driving up to Waco from there.

Is anyone going to this? https://alumni.xavier.edu/ccon/events_activities.do?action=viewEventFromCalendar&frompage=calendar&event_id=BAYBB

Will be driving up from Austin. Section 116 row 9.

Didn't know this was going on. Doubtful that I'll be attending, but I'll think about it.

[X-band '01]

If you do attend, bring rain gear for Saturday.

LOL, more Chip and Joanna. Look at the meeting location.

[xu82]

It's a better draw than the Koresh Compound.

I may actually have been able to get my wife to go for this if I'd been on the ball and acted sooner.

[THRILLHOUSE]

Well in that case I shall pass. Now if it were at the Dr Pepper Museum, I'd totally be in.
