TX vs OU Weekend Guide by Longhorn Fashions

We are soo excited for the Texas/OU game this weekend! Nothing tops the tradition of the Red River Rivalry and the great divide between burnt orange and crimson.

GAMEDAY TIPS

Kickoff is at 11 am. It is always difficult to wake up for the morning games, so here are some tips to prepare for that early wake up call.

·         Don’t forget to set your alarm! You don’t want to miss the game by accidentally sleeping in!
·         Have your outfit laid out for the game. That way you don’t risk running late because you were debating which shoes or accessories to wear.
·         Purchase tickets and coupons ahead of time and have them mailed to you. Avoid the long lines with this easy step. (https://your-ticket-order.com/statefairoftexas/)
·         Print your tickets the night before.
·         Carpool. Each parking space is $15 so gather some friends and carpool to the game. Then you’ll have more money to spend on food!
·         Hydrate. Between late night partying and walking around the fair grounds, you’ll need to drink plenty of water.

WEATHER

This crazy Texas weather is hard to plan for! Luckily, it will warm up by the time we get to Dallas on Saturday. The forecast is partly sunny, breezy, and humid with a high of 85º and a low of 65º.

WHAT TO WEAR

It may be chilly in the morning when you arrive at the Cotton Bowl, so layer a classic jean jacket over the Burnt Orange Skater Dress. This dress is comfortable and figure flattering no matter how much fried food you consume! Complete your outfit with statement earrings, enamel bangles, and a pair of fabulous cowboy boots.

WHAT TO EAT

No one will deny it.... (fried) fair food is the best part about TX/OU weekend! The Texas State Fair is defined by the fried food that is served up every year. This year, keep an eye out for the 2012 favorites: Deep Fried Jambalaya and Fried Bacon Cinnamon Roll.

Other notable fair foods this year are:

·         Deep-Fried Divine Chocolate Tres Leches Cake
·         Chicken Fried Cactus Bites
·         Deep fried Mac-N-Cheese Slider
·         Fried Mexican Fire Crackers (a tasty mix of chicken, cheese, and jalapeno wrapped in crispy dough)
·         Fried Pork Wing
·         Picnic on a Stick (fried chicken, tater tots, and pickle complete with your choice of sauce) Oh my goodness, we can’t wait to try all of the heart-stopping goodness!
