Going to be in the College Station area for about a week in early November. Looking for weather to be expected and must see night life spots.

Don't know about too many must see night life spots. Some college places. May want to try Houston for more excitement. Weather should be in the 60's in the day. Be glad you are not going in the Summer. Very humid.

My husband and son were in College Station this past weekend for the NU-Texas Tech game. It's not in the nightlife category but they enjoyed seeing and touring the Bush Presidential library. As for weather, it was in the high 60's, low 70's but rain rain rain!

Oops,
Make that Texas A&M--sorry, Aggies.

Weather should be pleasant in November. Not much to do in College Station itself. The inhabitants seem primarily interested in close formation drilling and animal husbandry. I know, Dan, but don't even go there...

Yikes! *Texas Tech* played NU in College Station?? I hope it was the Aggies playing, not Red Raiders. Despite the fact that they almost always play well in College Station--it's a long way from Jones Stadium and Lubbock.

The weather's been covered pretty well. Nightlife, hate to say it, but they're right about that too, unless you're into college bars. If you are, the Northgate area (north of campus) has a bunch to choose from. Other than that, you may get lucky and find some live music in Bryan, but don't count on it.

It may seem odd, but Colege Station is the home of a good little winery called Messina Hof. Messina Hof has a very good restaurant, as well.

As for nightlife, most people I know go to Austin, Waco or Houston. One place I hear of is Dudley's Draw in Northgate. Must be a booming metropolis if the best bar is in a shopping center. Also, the Dixie Chicken is legendary throughout the state.

Ah yes, mighty College Station (aka Sing Sing on the Brazos) where the men are men, the women are men and the sheep are nervous, has many amazing sights to see.

First, might I suggest watching the parade of Hitler Youth as they march throughout the campus promoting comfority. Be careful though as you are expected to run across the lawn but please don't step on the bricks, as the Hitler Youth still observe the "step on a crack, break your mother's back" philosophy.

Next, you must see the Stadium of the Dead, which serves as a tribute to those fallen aggies the world around. Careful, as you are not allow on the hallowed grass, only cleat wearing thugs are allowed on this memorial. While there, see 80,000 people reveal their own ignorance in unision by refusing to acknowledge the purpose of a stadium seat, instead insisting it is used as a means of obstructing the view of the person behind you by standing on it.

Of course, if it is nightlife you seek, make your way to Stadium of the Dead to watch 50,000 college students PRACTICE the cheers that they will use during the football game. Please make note that this practice session is lead by escapees from the local insane aslyum, as is evidenced by their tighty-whitey straight jacket uniforms.

Of course you can engage in intellectual debate by asking what is an aggie? And why do you have a dog representing it? Be careful, remember Big Brother is watching.

Enjoy your time here, and maybe you can become one of us!

Funny that you mention NOT stepping foot on the stadium turf. After Nebraska beat A&M Saturday night, some of the Husker fans dared step on the field to congratulate the players. My husband and son said the stadium announcer just went ballistic and was yelling at people to get off the field! They thought it was a scream--guess we're not as protective of our turf and just didn't know any better. Who knew? Getting back on topic, they did mention Dixie Chicken--sounds like a fun place.
