VOLS in Dallas, TX

[chuck0303]

I don't know how to get this to the right thread but I just talked to DirecTV and they said the game will be televised on channel 788 tomorrow although it doesn't say that yet. The reason I called is because it was showing Pay-Per-View on channel 786. PPV is ONLY supposed to be for people in TN where it is blacked-out. Widest dissemination please.

I've been getting the season pass of Gameplan the last few years. I usually get a UT game or two, and I can watch some other games of interest throughout the year.

Been out in the Dallas area since January. Figured most bars in the area wont be showing the game (or most Vol games for that matter) so I went an splurged on the ESPN gameplan... if theres a reason to spurge its on my Vols!!!

I live on the East side of Plano, if you guys are gonna get something going later on in the year lemme know Id love to cruise out and watch some games with some Vol fans.

I grew up here in the Big D, but went to UT. So I'm use to having to deal with Texas fans getting all "the other UT" hardy har har...losers!

Anyway, I live in the Uptown area for a few yrs now (moved down from CHI), and there are a lot of bars but honestly it can be a headache and ruin your day trying to find one to put a UT game on it. Last year a buddy and I went to see the 11 am UGA game at Frankies and they had it on one 19" TV (they pre-schedule the TVs and wont change them). They do have sound boxes, that if you get one that works well on your game, it helps. I suggest bringing a pair of small headphones.

TN/FLA is going to be at the same time as the TX/UCLA game so it's gonna be REALLY tough to find a place that is going to give UT much love. Not saying it can't happen, but we do need to get a group of Vols that want to watch games in the Downtown/Uptown area. This will be the only way we can approach a bar to gives us some respect.

With all that said, there is nothing wrong with Third Base up in Frisco. They do a great job of giving the Alumni Assoc a prime spot to watch games. They've got the hit or miss cute waitress theme going on. Problem is its up in FRISCO. Pretty straight shot up the tollway, but its about a 20+ mile hike. They get a good number of UT fans there, and worth trying to go and see if you know anyone from back in the day. But after some drinks you better hope you meet a cougar at the bar to invite you back and work off those drinks...ha!

I'm an '02 grad so if any of yall want to start to get a more Dallas proper group together...let me know.

Go VOLS!!!

Yeah, I was pretty disappointed the first time I went to get a late night gut bomb and they were gone.

Whataburger is legit, tho.

It is, but its no Krystals. I basically lived at the Krystal's off 360 and the time I went and it was shut down I was in depression. How often do you come to Shreveport?

Not much. Only passing through on our way to Destin or Gulf Shores once a year.

[orangeblooded2]

I'm 2 hours south of there.

I will go ahead and say I have sold out and gone to work in the Fracking biz. Which some on this board will find humourous.
