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.
· 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:
· 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!
