My Texans Ravens online time capsule

I'm not a scrapbooker, but consider this my online scrapbook of things seen and heard going to Baltimore.

  1. Pregame. 

  2. This game was my first road Texans game. I knew a bunch of fans that were going, and I offered my blog/twitter stuff to help spread the word. Road games across country where a lot of fans can go are a novel thing so we were breaking new ground. My favorite part about the trip were all the cool people I met in such a very short period of time.
  3. I was wrong about Texans fans. 17.6% of tickets sold on NFL Ticket Exchange for Ravens game this week were sold to Texas residents = big #.
  4. /I cartwheel through your timeline.... #Sweet @StayWade MT @AdamSchefter Wade Phillips told Tampa Bay that he was pulling out of process
  5. @JeffSechelski @AdamSchefter Don't know. Truly, Wade Phillips job w/ #Texans is almost like perfect central casting.
  6. All smiling? Needs GRRRR face! RT @bwlrbrown805 these shirts being sold around various Kroger's in Hou #BullsOnParade lockerz.com/s/173886919
  7. Clockradio alarm went off. Set to sports talk. So tired I forgot I was going to Baltimore and then startled myself remembering. HOLY BLEEP!
  8. #Texans fans hate Dallas too. Good enough for me. RT @StephStradley Heard #Ravens recruiting #Redskins fans. I invite em to root #Texans.
  9. @StephStradley have fun tomorrow!! Be loud for all o us not there!! Go #Texans!!
  10. It's begun. RT @CrapSandviche: Can you tell Texan Fans what NightClubs @raylewis52com will be at, so we can avoid being stabby?
  11. Flyin in that big boy today! Bout to go handle business.....See y'all in Baltimore yfrog.com/gzimzhxj
  12. Shout-out to all of the Texans fans here in Baltimore who were waiting for us at the hotel. We appreciate you! #BullsOnParade
  13. RT @StephStradley: The TSA supervisor advised I don't go thru security w/ this purse anymore. HA! #GoesWithOutfit #Texans http://lockerz.com/s/174558850
  14. Saturday Night at Luckie's Tavern.

  15. Alas, my flight didn't leave until 7:45 pm Saturday. However, there were a bunch of Texans fans that went to Luckie's Tavern that night and told me all about it. Originally, a group of fans got a reservation for 50. Then they bumped the reservation to 75.  Turned out that the entire place was full of Texans fans by the end of the night--some Ravens fans showed up and turned right around.

    This is one of those bars when some womens dance on the bar. Apparently somebody gave them Texans signs to hold up. The Slim Thug/Paul Wall song was played too. I do not have pictures or videos of that but I'm guessing someone does. 
  16. Gameday.

  17. Here's the group of fans I walked with from one of the Inner Harbor hotels to Mother's, a bar not too far from the stadium. It was nice to walk in a group because though the majority of Ravens fans wanted us to have a good time in their city, some didn't feel that way.

    Apologies for the quality of the pictures. It's hard to grab some random person and say, take our pic. I'm wearing the infamous pants. They are red with sequins over every inch of the fabric. I found them in a resale shop in the Montrose.  No picture can really capture how hideously wonderful they are.
  18. @HoustonTexans Party pic! Our group fixing to walk to Mother's Federal Hill Grill. Hope to see you! lockerz.com/s/174738271
  19. It was great meeting so many Texans fans at Mother's. HUGE bar/restaurant not too far from the stadium. Some kind Ravens fans suggested the place. I didn't hear who it was, but some Texans fan did a substantial bribe to the DJ who played "Bulls on Parade" and "Football Time in Houston." I understand there is video. Texans fans enjoyed the songs. Ravens fans made very sour faces. When there's a link, I'll add it to the story.

    The walk from Mother's to the stadium was a little sketchy in points, but not too bad. I visited a number of tailgates before going to the stadium. 
  20. Also for vodka RT "@StephStradley: @HoustonTexans chicas drinking them #BattleRedBloodyMarys. For good luck of course. lockerz.com/s/174751227"
