As Kansas State University (KSU) was winning the football game against the University of Kansas it became clear KSU would be heading to the Big 12 Championship in Arlington Texas.
Thursday
Tickets purchased, we headed towards Dallas/Fort Worth on a 6:06 am flight out of Bozeman, with a two hour layover in Salt Lake City
We requested an Uber from the airport, and because we’d been traveling since 5 am saw the Uber sign on the dashboard and got into the car. Red flags almost immediately when the driver took off then asked us where we were going. And then charged three times the price on the Uber app. I took photos of the vehicle/license plate, and the man’s business card. It was our fault we were scammed but Uber isn’t interested in pursuing the scammer.
We stayed in the Homewood Suites by Hilton in Arlington, which was ‘interesting’. We slept on the pullout sofa/bed, and the bathroom was through the bedroom where my brother and sister-in-law slept. We had three towels for four people, a shortage of tp and zero remotes for two tvs. But we were not in Dallas to spend time in the hotel room!

Friday Night
My brother-in-law found something he thought we all might enjoy:
But we did not expect-
I thought it was the real “Humpty”, but unfortunately Shock G, aka “Humpty Hump” passed away last year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_G https://www.facebook.com/100082802722515/videos/847822433003562
Tone Loc asked females to join him on the stage, which I opted out of. I was busy filming! Of course, there was more to Friday evening than the music:
Game Day!
We had seen the College Gameday bus on Friday, so were excited to have another Gameday opportunity in one year; make that two months!
The film recorded is pasted to my Facebook page of the same name as this blog:
The next step for my beloved KSU Wildcats is the Sugar Bowl! https://www.kstatecollegian.com/2022/12/04/k-state-and-alabama-sugar-bowl-bound/
Sunday
On Sunday, we slept in a bit, and said goodbye to our fellow travelers. Did a bit more laundry to save time on Monday and worked our way to the airport early afternoon for a 6 pm flight back home.
