When I lived in Charlotte I did exactly what you said. Found a sports bar that had 4-5 rooms with different games on. Charlotte is a transient city so they had a room dedicated to Pittsburg another to NY etc. One room was empty so I asked if they would put on the Saints game. It was just me at first and it was in 06. Every week more and more Saints fans started showing up. It’s where I saw the reopening of the dome, U2/Green Day and the blocked punt. I had just gotten back from Louisiana helping my family rebuild and it was emotional as hell. Everyone in the bar was a Saints fan that night. As the season went on Saints fans filled the place and by the next season Saints games were on the big screen in the main bar area. Man, good memories.

Assuming you mean Cotulla, you will most likely be driving to San Antone or Corpus Christi.

Texas is great.

You absolutely have to have a pair of cowboy boots!

Sheeeeeit, at roughly 50 miles from the border he should opt for a sombrero, that's closer to North Mexico than South Texas.

Definitely a swing in cuisine.

Heck, I go to the local sports bar and watch for about 20 dollars worth of beer.

I’ve set up zoom meetings with family members during some games where they just point their laptops at their TV screens and I just watch on my computer. It ain’t quite HD but I drink enough during Saints games that I don’t notice anymore ! 😝

In Alabama we're considered to be regional to the Saints and get regional coverage. If for some reason I don't get it, then like Boston, I'm headed to the bar. We are fortunate enough to have a Saints bar right around the corner and it's a fairly classy place. They have drink specials during Saints games. When I am out of town I find the game if possible on a on a 📺 somewhere. I'll be looking for the 1st game of the season while I'm in Europe. Wish me luck.

I haven't seen anybody wearing cowboy boots in years, outside of State Troopers.

The image people have of Texas is quite hilarious.

I dread trips back to Louisiana, especially now that NOLA is collapsing in on itself. It was extremely depressing when we were there for Christmas.

I still wear cowboy boots on occasion. I have two pair. A pair of Tony Lamas from the '70's and a black alligator pair from Cowtown Boots. Then again, where I'm from originally (South Dakota) boots and western hats are extremely common still today. Two branches of my mother's family are still heavy into rodeo. The Dakotas, Wyoming, and Montana have never become as urbanized as Texas.
