Lubbock/Tech?

im down if anyone goes. i hate driving. ill be the passenger

i have a friend who goes to texas tech so i can have a place to stay

 

On the Tech Men's team circa '96 there was the local West Texas guys, several from the San Antonio area and then me from H-Town. The rest of our team were DFW guys. The Euless and Ft. Worth guys were cool but to deal with the Plano and JJ Pierce lots was a pain in the ass.
I know how you feel Orange.

As crap as it sounds, there is the idea of getting all the matches over the internet. Might i suggest calling people over that have an interest, sit down to watch the match and use it as a "pre-party chug fest/rally point" for that Sat. nights bar crawl around town. Start small and in a few months there might be a room full of folks that would never have gotten together and become drinking buddies if it wasn't for you and the Houston Dynamo.

You mean the Texian Army Sharpshooters Brigade GET YOUR GUNS UP!

 

I don't know if Bash Riprocks is still around off of Univeristy Ave and adjacent to 'The U' apartment place, but that is where some of us footy guys would take in World Cup qualifiers in '97. I asked the bar guys at Bash's to put the game on and it was never a problem. I recall watching Zola and Italia beating England in a big matchup. The Tech rugby guys were also in there so that waterign hole was always international sports friendly.
I also had a bunch of friends over for the kick butt WCQ between us and el Tri back in April of that '97 Hex. 2-2 game at old Foxborough and I have rarely fealt as jacked up as when Eddie Pope equalized against Mexico...my whole living room errupted as beer cans went everywhere!
It can be done getting people over that all enjoy soccer and drinking or just a little soccer and lots of drinking. Have at it amigo.

WINNER!

 

btw, the women's soccer team, when I was there, had quite a few hotties that like to drink and ********...so my goal would be to see which one of them I could get to wear Houston Dynamo gear around campus.
It has been my expereince that having little hot mamcitas sporting a team's gear or emblem has staying power in people's minds more than some dude walking past them that hasn't cut his hair in 8 months. No matter how hard you're "attracting" I promise you she will do more promotion in one day then you will all week. Sabes???

 

Bash's is great! I've drank myself stupid after many a rugby game there myself. It was the only place you could get chimay at as well. If Crickets is still around, they used to show soccer games as well.

 

Crickets was the spot where I spent my last days as a college student. Good times and I am glad to see it is still alive and kickin'!

That location was...was...eh..um...crap I can't recall the name right now but it was more of a true college bar rather than Crickets' version of a hundred beers on tap and good food on hand bar that it turned into.
The bar that was there before had penny pitchers one night of the week and it was like being in the Kop end of Anfield in the 80's...absolutely no where to move as everyone was standing packed in there.
