TX Wing Fan

but do they glow in the dark?

pac 12 after dark lives on

Grabbed some of the new 100th Anniversary of DKR Yeti cups at the home opener. I don't believe UT advertised the white one prior to the game, so it surprised me when I saw it at the concessions stand. One of the better designs we've gotten over the last few years IMO. Per CDC, it sounds like more of them will be available at the UTSA game.

To me, this is one of the biggest wins for the gameday experience over the last few years. Given inflation, the rising cost of food, and every restaurant jacking up prices to make a quick buck, you'd expect UT to follow suit. They probably never made much money off of concessions following the rollback, but at this point I bet they lose a good amount just to maintain prices. It probably gets balanced out via alcohol sales or they rationalize it as a "gameday experience" expense, but regardless it's still really great to see. On another food related note I love that Pluckers continues to give out the 5-free wing coupons following each win. Those coupons have probably outperformed the value of the US dollar over the last 10 years with how expensive wings have gotten.

Aligned with this move, as long as they don't replace him with or give more air time to the "Texas Fight" 1st down guy. That dude is infinitely worse

Imagine chirping all offseason just to lose the Ramblin' Wreck in game 1

Maybe the one good thing Jumbo did for aggy was getting their uniform situation corrected. The throwback-inspired jerseys with the glossy helmet is a great look for them, and few (only 1 I believe) alternates during his tenure was also cool to see. Seems like he might have been the big driver for that, as immediately after he leaves they're back to the "swag" that the last coach pushed with a boring black uniform 🥱

FSU didn't want to be there

completely inept

When comparing 1 loss teams, I believe that the committee would give priority to those who have won their conference championship game. Only exception to this would be Georgia, as I fear that they'd try to sneak in both Bama and and the 2-time defending national champions (it's not fair, but I could see them doing it). SEC, B10, and PAC are all probably getting at least 1 team in no matter what at this point. We need Georgia to win and FSU to lose to make it in. There's also a chance we could jump another 1 lose conference champion if we obliterate okie lite like 45-0 (see tOSU in 2014), but it's unlikely. It's unfortunate, but in terms of playoff contention we probably picked the worst year in the last 10 to be a 1 loss team.

lil ahh defense fuck you florida

congratulations to iowa steak for eclipsing last week's rushing yard total on the first play of the game

best part about this this outcome is all the extra energy OSU had to expend for this win. While we got to rest starters for a whole quarter (not to mention an extra day of rest), they had to play OT

message board geniuses is about to be LIT

fuck you matt the rat hope that loser cheese tastes good tonight

5th year senior making a mistake that a freaking 5th grader would make 😂

Volume was definitely quieter than the first 3 games, which was awesome. There was a point at the beginning of the second half when it got loud for like a minute, and then immediately went back to the quieter levels. On-field MC guy and the 4th quarter smoke show are still super annoying, but I'll tolerate them if the music stays at the volume that it was at on Saturday.

all part of jimbo's secret strategy no reason to worry ags

cougar high is at it again

Music volume was great in the first half. It was still loud, but not as skull-splitting as it was in the first 2 games. However, it's almost like CDC noticed this and told the DJ to crank that shit back up, because the second half was definitely closer to the level it had been at previously. I will say that the crowd seemed more active in the second half than the first. Not sure if there's a correlation there, but it was something I observed. The on-field mic guy is significantly more annoying than Bob Cole IMO. He's been around for a few years, but it's almost like this season the gameday staff decided to make him the star of the show. PA volume (both him and BC) is still too loud. First down chant is annoying, but I do think that it helped keep the crowd engaged. Seemed like the student section especially would do it every time, and it got louder as the game went on. I know Baylor does this at their games to, so maybe that's where we stole it from? I'm not a fan of it, but it's something I'm willing to go to war over like the volume.

Agree that the sounds from the jumbotron is still too loud. It was so obnoxious that it made 100,000 people cheering for Bevo and the flight of jets that passed over the stadium during the pre-game sound quiet by comparison. Maybe if they keep this up they'll blow out the speakers by the end of the Kansas game, and they'll be forced to turn it down.

I honestly think all the sensory overload from these gameday enhancements finally got to Wyoming. Between the light show, loud music, and the smell from the smoke they set off before the 4th quarter the Cowboys just can’t take it anymore and are collapsing.

man oh man do i love being a Texas Longhorn

Yeah I knew it wasn’t a new logo, but this is the first time I've seen it used on a Yeti. Angry Bevo is definitely the superior logo, but I like that they’ve started to use this one as well to mix things up. It’s started showing up more on gear and apparel, so I guess it shouldn’t really be a surprise they decided to also put it on a cup.

Grabbed a new UT Yeti at the game last weekend. Hadn't seen this design with the Grumpy Bevo before, but after some research on the Twitter it sounds like this is this season's "limited edition". Weird because they usually announce it, but I guess they've made so many of these at this point that the whole concept has kind of lost it's luster. Still a big fan, and I definitely like it more than most of the limited designs they've done the last few years for football.
