Idiots Guide For Texas Fans Traveling To Pac-10 Country

With news that Texas, Texas A&M, and Texas Tech could be joining Colorado in moving to the Pac-10, I thought I would provide an idiots guide to Texas fans traveling to Pac-10 country. You see traveling to Washington, California, Oregon, and Arizona could be like traveling to a foreign country for people living in Texas. It's just a different culture on the West Coast.

We're very laid back people. It's just in our personality. That's why you don't hear a lot of stories about fans getting tazed on the field of play or people puking on little kids. We root for our teams, but we don't have that burning intensity for our teams like everyone else has East of the Rockies. We also live in vastly different climates and cultures. So this is a guide for Texas fans and the necessities they will need when traveling to the West Coast.

Washington- There are two important necessities when traveling to the state of Washington. First, bring the umbrella. It rains a lot in Seattle. I know it's joked about constantly about the rain in Washington, but everything that is said is true. Bring the umbrella. Also you should pack flannel shirts for the trip. They keep you warm in the cool environment while also making you look like a member of Nirvana.




Oregon- You'll need the same necessities as Washington, flannel shirts/umbrella, but you will also need something else. A bong. They smoke weed in Oregon and lots of it. In fact I would say there is more weed smoked than there is beers drank. Bring a bong and fit right in with the people of Oregon.


Bay Area- A bong is important when attending a game a Cal. Bears fans can smoke weed with the best of them. Also since your in hippie territory, a bar of soap is a need. With all the hippies around it becomes quite dirty in Berkley and you might want to wash up after watching a Cal game.


When attending Stanford, bring you Halloween costume and act like an asshole. The Stanford band usually wears some type of stupid costume at games and they always act like assholes.


Los Angeles- Act fake, have plastic surgery done to your body, and drive around in a Corvette with a vanity plate. That's really it.




Arizona- I know it's hot in Texas, but nothing can compare to the heat in Arizona. Bring your sunscreen. There is nothing worse than looking like a wrestler who has spent too much time in the tanning booth. Also because it is so hot in Arizona, beer is a must. You need to stay hydrated so might as well stay hydrated while getting a buzz.




Enjoy the idiots guide Texas fans. You'll need it.

  2. I've had the unfortunate pleasure of visiting Pullman. I just pretend it doesn't exist now.
