Mr 409

We are going! Our Holiday Bowl trip last year was cancelled at the last minute. Never been to California, my boys love going to sporting events (especially Huskers). My wife's nephew starts on the O-Line of TCU, will try to attend Rose Bowl also since we are flying into Orange County.

I am heading there, our trip to the Holiday bowl last year was cancelled at the last minute. Will also try to go to the Rose Bowl. Anybody got Rose Bowl tickets?

Kyle Dooley. Papillion now starting LG TCU.

I would also like to know this information.

Well, I guess my experiences were just bad. Like you mentioned, alcohol usually starts a problem. Probably my downfall. DO NOT GO TO TIJUANA! That place is a scum infested hell hole. A lot of America tourists are being assaulted and robbed, some even killed. If you insist on going to Mexico drive straight through TJ and go to Rosarito. Tijuana is not like Cancun or Cabo. I spent a night in jail there once for peeing on a cop car while the cops were still in it (this was definitely whiskey fueled)...my friends and I each paid a bribe of around $300 to get out. Not cool. Tijuana is really not that bad!! Just be careful. There's plenty to do down there: gamble, drink, clubs, strippers, shop, eat, whatever; and all at a much cheaper price. However, you just can't be stupid. Don't flash money or get so drunk you can't remember where you are. If you plan on being stupid though, I wouldn't do it in San Diego either. The cops and criminals here are just as bad. well, maybe it was just my experiences there. Ha ha. I was usually drunk and surrounded by other Marines. So I could see how that could be a problem. I went to MCT (Marine Combat Training) at Pendleton many moons ago. We had a weekend off with clear instructions to not go to Tijuana so of course we went straight there and didn't even look back. I had $800 dollars to my name (early 90's money), took it all with me, and had to have money wired to me to get back! I had an absolute blast. Seriously though, in case it's not obvious, Tijuana is NOT a family friendly place. Great information, thanks.

Where do you get the Holiday Bowl luncheon tickets?

Thanks.

Anybody aware of the teams official schedule during the Holiday Bowl? Would like to see them during our trip besides at the game. Any other information as to tailgate parties would be appreciated.
