I really like the walk up and scan beer process but why would you put stickers on the cooler so you don’t know what is in the cooler until you are in line and have to open the cooler.

If there isn’t a beer I want inside the cooler I’d rather not wait to find out.

- its a key 3rd down for our defense and clemson is driving. What do we play? “Since youve been gone.” Holy shit everyone in our section was either laughing their ass off or pissed

- mariachi was awesome the first time with Selena, but did not needed to be replayed while clemson was driving

- for fucks SAKE, we dont celebrate first downs. Only bush league teams do that pathetic shit. Stop with the “first down, TEXAS!” shit

- I.Do.Not.Get. Not having enough ticket scanners/personnel/bag checkers for just one fucking hour before kick to get people through the gates. 
 

- need to show more celebrities/former ut players on the jumbotron instead of the ball-hiding-in-what-helmet or air guitar cam or whatever the fuck

 

AND

 

TWICE in the 4th quarter we played “all my exes live in texas” and some other slow fucking country song. Holy shit it was embarrassing. Clemson fans in my section were chuckling… especially when violin solo guy came on. Play fucking rock or edm or hip hop. Its not that fucking hard

DONT CARE WHAT YOU THINK OF THE ARTIST... NEED TO PLAY "STRANGLEHOLD"!!!

I’ve been to every home game this year. I have been going to home games for over forty years, and the occasional road game. Texas, in my opinion, has a sneaky home advantage. This is not the fanbase that is hostile to visitors, but it is a fanbase that is engaged and knows the cheers. I have seen eras when “Texas-Fight” was weaponized, and then periods (like now) when just regular noise is emphasized. 
 
Walking to the stadium, I was a little worried. There just was not as much pre game attendance outside, not as much energy. Many fewer tailgates, many fewer people milling around. Was this a different fanbase segment showing up?

 
And then, the game. This was one of the more actively engaged crowds I’ve seen. It got really loud (Look, we’re not Aggies, we don’t claim noise makes a huge difference. To me, the best you get from noise is annoying the opposing offense and encouraging your defense, for what it’s worth- which is probably about half a point on average). 
 
I have never seen as many stay for “The Eyes of Texas” before.

It was definitely full of people that really wanted to be there. Everyone in my section were high fiving, hugging, screaming their assess off. Only sat for time outs and TV breaks.

Most importantly I never felt that collective dread going into the second half which I've felt countless times for so many years.

The positive emotion was as thick as the mosquitoes in Houston.

Yeah, the pregame atmosphere outside was so different. Calm. Relaxed. Very few people tailgating. Not so crowded. But I think most people got to their seats earlier than normal. 

Around me, I thought we were quieter on defense in the first Q than we should have been, but the crowd heated up and got loud. 

Business trip. Workmanlike. I was glad I went. It does feel like we’re building something special.
