If you don’t enjoy drunkenly slursinging (almost to a palsy’ed degree) like Brian Johnson while watching the Horns go in dry, I don’t know what to tell you. That is freedom. That is the reason George Washington crossed the Rubicon with Napoleon to secure American independence from the rebel Peruvian forces. 

That checks out.

Mariachi was great.

Hinchcliffe and ron white was funny.

Smoke sucked.

Dont like the digital down marker.

Let's get a petition to have the Mariachi every game, those guys fucked. 

 

Also, the digital down marker is an SEC thing.

Tennessee OU replay is on SEC network right now and they’ve got the normal old analog down markers.

Goddammit why can’t i quote reply anymore without that happening? Sorry. I’ll remember and won’t do it again. Hopefully.

I know they keep Bob Cole around to introduce the band at halftime, but I’m also pretty sure it was him doing Bevo’s entrance during pregame, saying “BEVO FOURTEEN!!”.

Meanwhile “BEVO XV” is in giant letters on the screen. Smh

First, fuck Bob Cole.  Him not doing play-by-play is a Godsend.

I'm not so sure his stupid-ass schtick-laden growling pregame intro (didn't realize he did the band a halftime, as I always bolt for the bathroom right at the gun) very well may be pre-recorded.

Just got 2 fly-bys over our house in SW Austin. 3 or 4 fighter jets. Couldn't make out the type through the trees. Checked my app and they flew right over DKR, so ... practice run.

So all y'all going to the game tomorrow, you got that goin' for ya. Keep your eyes peeled. Good luck with that mid-afternoon heat though. I'll be watching from my pool. /csb

F-15s.  Watched them from my office.

I'm really enjoying the new "fly-bys need some practice" thing we've got going on.  Last week, the Apaches practiced on both Thursday and Friday.

Looked like Bergstrom commercial traffic was taking off toward DKR today, maybe that had something to do with it?

I did see a Southwest 737 fly over the stadium sometime during the game. So we did get at least one flyover.

The new "tradition" of playing "I Like Texas" which used to be the Rangers win song after the game and before the Eyes has to stop. 

I get that they are trying to vamp to give Sark/Players who are getting TV interviewed time to complete the TV piece before they run over to sing with the team, but listening to 3 minutes of Pat Green singing while the whole team stands in the corner staring at the band is awful. 

If you have to play a song, which I don't think you need to do to vamp, we never used to do this, then play something that will at least keep the post win energy going. 

It's crazy to watch our team and student section just stand around staring at the band.

Hell, go back to letting the band play "All I do is win" for a few rounds if we are really trying to kill time to let them do post game on field interviews.

It was so hot at beginning of the game, crowd came out flat. On way home heard Craig Way say it was 142 degrees on field at start of game. Insane. 

It felt hotter yesterday than CSU. At CSU, we at least got a cloud every 10-2 minutes. I don’t remember any break in sun for all 4 hours

At some point we need to flex our Texas- ness and just tell the networks we don’t start games until 6:00 pm or later in August and September in the name of fan and player heat safety. 

Hah, what exactly do you think our “Texas-ness” means in terms of ability to do fuck-all when it comes to billions of TV money? This ain’t 1967….

Three hour lightning delay from our local weather team a few times should send a message

This.  I can't stand that.  Also, let the cheerleaders start the Texas Fight cheer, not the idiot running around with the microphone. 

The crowd and cheerleaders are the only ones that should be starting Texas Fight. A spontaneous Texas Fight is the best Texas Fight. Fucking PA guy fucking it up is the worst.

I've given up hope on the band being featured in-game/during timeouts, but at least they aren't doing a billion ad reads like the old days or have an annoying "in-game host". 

I'm a little surprised they haven't just started having the band march into the stadium for halftime and back out afterward.  That would give them a bunch more seats to sell.

Yep.  Had a conversation with CDC about this years ago when Big Noon Kickoff was first announced and we were locked into the Fox contract.  I asked if he had any ability to try avoid that window for early season games.  He actually had a long and detailed answer including history on this topic with interesting anecdotes from early in his career, but it basically boiled down to Power 5 schools decided a long time ago to give up all scheduling rights in exchange for a big pile of cash and there is no putting the genie back in that bottle.  Part of why he put such an effort into revamping the gameday experience with Bevo Blvd, LCL, etc. on the basis that he wanted to make it a great fan friendly atmosphere no matter the kickoff time.

Mini-rant: You Dallas Stars fans in DKR need to calm the fuck down with your bullshit during the national anthem. Save your "STARS!!" crap for the American Airlines Center.

And I say that as a fellow Stars fan.

Rant over.

Glad I didn't see that shit.

Yes, Saturday was the perfect day to be outdoors ... in the shade. Clear blue sky and not a cloud to be seen all damn day.
