Tour2ma Posted September 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Check with your accommodations, but generally Houston is good to go... Meanwhile here's a BackerBash announcement... We have just received confirmation that the two Browns alumni who will be at our Saturday night Backer Bash are: Gerald "Ice Cube" McNeil Cody Risien Looks like I will be bigger than one of them...

Got curious as to whether there's an "Indians Backers" parallel to our Browns. There does not seem to be. Best site I could find is http://www.teambarfinder.com/cleveland-indians-bars/ There is a bar in Austin, TX... none listed for Houston. You might try contacting the Space City Brownsbackers to see if they plan an ALCS gathering Friday nite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont do it.....you guys will have a great time.....and maybe, just maybe, will enjoy a win together(yuk yuk).... I kinda feel like you do tho.....got drawn back in a bit, during preseason, only to get a gut punch(and angry, disgusted, etc)... But, as long as your mad - disgusted - angry, it means you still care, which is what matters.....enjoy the game in Houston and just keep telling yourself you are there to hang with BB people and not to see the Browns.....then it will feel worthwhile....

Never been to Houston, (my Texas experience is limited to Dallas' airport) and it will be nice to see Tour. It's my bucket list item. See the Browns lose in every city.... Working hard to not disappoint me.... #6 on the List. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha!...Dallas airport.....my nemesis...a place Ive been stuck at too many times.....though I did do business in Dallas for 20 years, which required at least 3 visits per yr, and it's a wonderful city.....never did Houston myself, but hear its pretty decent for a big city.....(ifn you like big cities).... My brother moved to Dallas just a few months ago, so I suspect I wil restart my annual visits there.....airport be damned.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of a rush creates a corral the QB plan. Salt in a some well-disguised blitzes, and Watson will make mistakes from the pocket. Just can't let the man hurt us on the move running or passing.

Tour2ma Posted October 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 And as for Astros ALCS tix... they're on resale sites now. "Best seats" are in the $300-400 range. Cheapies are running in the $120-150 range. But the potential CLE games in HOU will not fall on the weekend...

miktoxic Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 my brother lives in 'the colony' outside dallas. (sounds like a M. Night" Shyamalan cult village) but is a browns fan who the cuLt villagers are trying their best to turn him into an A&M, yankee and cowboy fan. FIGHT THE POWER!! and for those who think one DE will win you a championship...??......don't think the texans need JJ to promptly bust the browns butt wide open.

Glad you liked it... 9 hours ago, Dutch Oven said: So why is the Astrodome still standing? What is it used for? Was being used for conventions like an annual Oil & Gas industry gathering... displaying large equipment indoors. There's a large covered area adjacent to the old dome. for booths, meetings, etc. The new stadium is a fair walk away from this support facility. Used to be used for the annual Houston Livestock show and rodeo. But I am told by the in-laws no more... The debate about the worth of even minimal update of the dome has been on-going for years.
