1,000%. Sums it up very succinctly.

True, but I already mentioned that I experienced the same level of college greatness at a Purdue game. They're hardly top-tier, yet they haven't debased their game experience the way other schools including Texas have, where it's sell, sell, sell.

I recently went to a Duke basketball game. It was a pure college sports experience. There wasn't a cacophony of promos, giveaways, sponsorships, shitty popular songs, etc. It was all about the students, the game, the school, the traditions, etc. So I guess someone should inform them that they need to lower their experience to a cheap, generic, gimmicky shlock of marketing crap to attract the kids.

Okay, but how come other major programs, like OU and Notre Dame haven't turned their game experience into Hannah Montana and somehow, they manage to keep the seats full year after year? Could it be that true fans of all ages don't need to be entertained like they are watching Disney+? I know lots of 20's Longhorn fans through my daughters and my interns, (no pics for you degenerate bastards) and I have yet to hear one of them ask for more mariachi music or more 'find the ball' games on the scoreboard.

This 1,000%. In the fourth quarter of the Clemson game, when the momentum has swung to them, nothing fires up our defense like playing the "Which horse will win the race? game on the Jumbotron. The Portland Trailblazers used to employ an actually very funny use of music. Whenever their team was hit by a questionable call or foul, they would play the theme from "The Twilight Zone," haha. This is genius, hahah.

"How A&M's loss is GOOD news." I won't bother posting the video, which is unwatchable. His premise is that Ohio State's loss last year propelled them to the championship and A&M can do the same. Right. Yeah, cause A&M and Ohio State programs have so much in common.

The loudest game I've ever been to was when Texas visited Purdue in basketball. The deafening volume of noise was generated by the Purdue band and the fans, who did chants in unison throughout the game. They're currently ranked #1, so it works for them. Edit: Apologies for derailing the thread. I'll get it back on track. You have to give A&M a break. They've been playing all season with a QB, who was the backup to Weigman, who was a backup to Max Johnson, who was a backup to Haynes King, who was a backup to Zach Calzada.

Yes, it sucks. There is a cretin level of endless promotional crap being directed at the poor fans. Bits of popular songs are blasted throughout the timeouts. Plus, as mentioned, there is the dreaded mariachi band, giveaways, fun facts, quizzes and hated Bob Cole. It’s painful and they do the same shit during the basketball games. I’ve been to college games at other major schools and no one else I’ve seen piles on the crap the way UT does.

I do actually agree with this comment: The whole game day experience there is very cartoonish and carnival-like. It seemed like a circus with a football game interspersed the commercial breaks. There were multiple cutesy-like events going on at the same time…a mariachi band playing…all very made up. x

At least his father wasn't arrested this time so that's progress: College Football Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia’s brother arrested for public intoxication during game for second time this season

Honestly, I don't even have to create any Aggie content. I can't possibly top what they create: 5342 days since A&M beat tu This appeared on the DKR big screen during the game. Neglects to mention that tu refused to play us from 2012 to and incuding 2023, which accounts for about 4400 of those days. The slime ball AD at tu, DeLoser Dodds, refused to play us and even told the other Big 12 schools not to play us.. They were afraid of JFF. I look at this as typical tu butt hurt chicken **** caused by our failure to ask them for permission to join the SEC.

Hanging with daughters and new son-in-law at Koko's Bavarian and who do we run into but the LEGEND himself @immamac. Day started at Meanwhile Brewery. If you haven't visited, check it out. They make amazing craft beers (available at HEB) and the food trucks are good.
