[NU Sports] ALAMO - BLEH! RANT AHEAD

[mlinhardt at netzero.com]

We just got back from crossing Mexico -- Mexico City to Cancun via bus asking for salsa picante at every restaurant.  We know hot!  Habaneros aren't just for dinner they persist for days in and out of the colon.

In San Antonio we searched it out asking the hispanic locals for good mexican and the stuff we found was below Chicagoland levels and the salsa was mild and boring.  For recommendations for spicy food we got buffalo wild wings.  Absurd.  Maybe the hispanics living in SA are from a bad food region in Mexico.  Similar to southern food in the US which can be an example of unappealing cuisine to many foreigners.

That being said we booked plane tickets today, although we are minimizing the SA part.  We are flying into Houston and staying in Galveston.  We will drive over on the 29th for the game and stay in a SA hotel that night and drive back to Houston the next morning.  

Flights into SA seemed to be crazy priced and poorly scheduled compared to flying into Houston and a 3hr drive.

We will buy our tickets from the ticket office, but may attempt to scalp better ones if we get placed low and in a corner like last time.  We just couldn't see anything, which maybe was good vs. UNL.

You HAVE to be kidding! San Antonio is -- by far -- the most diverse major city in America and the choices of restaurants reflects that. Plenty of authentic Tex-Mex and salsa specialties. Really, you're kidding with the salsa, right?
