Eh, should've mentioned before that it's a double date--the guys are from SA and the girls are from houston, tho, so we'll still be louder when the chips are down!

Yeah. We are leaving here tomorrow afternoon. We got a room a the Marriott though, so we don't have to worry about drinking and shit. Well be back before 1:00 for the t.u game though. Reed should be fun.

Damn, I wish I was going to that one! My gf made me choose--I went with the Spurs game since I got to see us BTHO baylor at Reed already. Plus, all four of us are in the Corps, so we're g2 crash at my buddies' place in Houston over the weekend to get some time off campus lol.

Yeah, I really wanted the season sweep, but Baylor's pretty good, so a split's ok--we'll take 'em down in the tourney. Been to the Toyota Center once before (for a Rockets-Grizzlies game). It's ok, but the AT&T Center is way better (not that I'm biased or anything). This'll be my first Spurs road game, though. I'm pretty pumped (plus, it helps that I don't have class tomorrow lol).

This is awesome! Looks like we'll have a posse of Aggie Spurs fans (are there any better fans?) invading the Toyota Center--should be fun!

Hehe, you know I do? I was the one running the "Rodeo Road Trip" thread on the "Basketball Other" forum lol. My handle is tbirdspur2010.

Texags has been fun this week, what with baylor and t.u. on the docket lol.

There's some decent spots to pregame in the area...McCormick & Schmicks has a pretty cheap happy hour til 7, House of Blues (on Caroline/Polk intersection) is pretty solid...and also walking distance.

Got my Tony Parker finals jersey at the ready for this one...looking forward to the TP - Aaron Brooks track meet

Good to hear! There's quite a few good pregame spots in H-town from what I've been hearing.

And Imma be rockin' my black Ginobili jersey-shirt along with my "4-time Champions" hat--I think I might be the lone black man in College Station who owns a Ginobili jersey lol. Gonna be a good time!

Oh yeah? Ive also heard that the b.u.s or something is right across the street from toyota and might be a good place... i also saw a flying saucer in the area so that caught my attention.

All depends on when you get to downtown. If you park a little further from the stadium, you can pregame and then jump on the lightrail...it'll drop you off a block or two from Toyota Center. Not sure what B.U.S. is, but flying saucer is pretty solid (esp. if you're looking to grub as well).

Will the lightrail take you from the saucer? or where is that located at?

VBM

There should be a stop close to it. The lightrail runs along Main St. (Saucer is on Main). Then you'd take the lightrail to the Bell stop I believe, and then it's a 3-4 block walk to Toyota Center.

Edit: If there isn't a Bell stop, it's the Polk stop...can't remember at the moment.
