Good Morning Cowboys Fans! Long-time reader, but rare poster. I just moved to Corpus Christi from DC and wanted to see if there were any of you from the area.

I am particularily concerned about Direct TV, what channel I can get the games on and if the games will be blacked out on the Sunday ticket.

Thanks!!!!!


I moved away from Corpus a few years back. djdoug who is a member of this board lives there. If you ever want to go clubbing go downtown to stingers and dead eyed *****, best clubs around IMO. You will get all Cowboys games I never seen one blacked out

Hey Joe, i am still stuck up here in Arlington. Did you move for a job down there? Are you a techie?

I'm an Analyst for a technical Consultant Firm based in Alexandria. I am still employed, just working remotely out of the house. House Prices are much nicer down here!

Hey Joe, Welcome to Texas.

Congrats on getting out of enemy territory alive. Corpus is a great town; laid back and has a lot of stuff going on most of the time. If you can stand the wind (average daily wind speed is higher than Chicago, the Windy City), the heat and the humidity you got it made. I've lived there twice; once for 4 years back in the '70's and for 12 years in the '90's and '00's. It is a stanch Cowboys town so you are in friendly territory and San Antonio (home of future training camps) is only about 120 up the interstate. It is interstate and freeway all the way to the Alamo Dome so you should be able to make it up there (I did when I they were there before).

Corpus Christi is a Cowboys town dude. So don't worry you get all the games on Local channels first of all.

There are couple of posters here from Corpus ( I lived and worked in Corpus for about 2-3 years, but that was 10 years ago). DJDOUG is one guy who lives in Corpus, probably good guy to talk to about local scene etc. And there is also DA'FAN I think who is from Corpus Christi.

Corpus is certainly nice town to live in, just used to hate the summers a bit, due to humidity. I used to have Apartment right in front of the ocean too. It has changed a bit, as I visited that city after 10 years few weeks ago.

Yep, I'm from Corpus. Right now, I wish I lived in Oxnard! :)

:welcome: to Corpus!I've lived in Corpus my whole life and it has its good and bad points.Bad points=threats of hurricanes.Good points=this town is really starting to grow!
As far as the games here,the Cowboys ARE NEVER BLACKED OUT!!!!Our local Fox station will drop the game that is currently airing to show the Cowboys!!If you still want DirecTV,you shouldnt have any problems.

Now if we could only get them to broadcast in HD. :mad:

Thats one reason I will never pay for NFL Sunday Ticket or Superfan again. Blocking Cowboys games is absurd if I am paying for the service I should get every game regardless of location.

Lets hope cause 300 bucks is a lot of money to be restricted in any way shape or form.

Truer words... :worthy2:

I've got to tell you, working from home is pretty strange, but it is growing on me fast!

Have you gone to the Old Dominion Brewery out in Ashburn? The owner gives tours every weekend and gives away two free beers. Plus, there are quite a few beers out there that they don't seel out the stores! If you go, try the bourbon stout!
