We had that 3m tribute to t Boone Pickens and really nothing for cedric when all that happened. I'm also starting of thinking on getting in the fire bob Cole bandwagon.

September 18, 20232 yr Wyoming a probably a solid Mountain West team but the offense completely failed so show up for 3 quarters then turned on the jets and won by 21. It was a bad performance overall and needs to be better, but we've seen better against better competition so we know it's there.
September 18, 20232 yr EpilogueDo we have cheerleaders? Cameraman would usually get some nice shots. Now we have to see Vic Mackey’s Kiss Girl a dozen times a game.

It’s clear the experience is designed to appeal to a broader audience. And suck the life out of the crowd. When you long for injury timeouts thats an issue. Yeah it really is just too much and too little at the same time. Constant blasting of the jumbotron kills any crowd spontanaety. Constantly showing Bevo ripping through the opponent's flag instead of a replay that never materializes is absolutely infuriating. Going home with my ears bleeding is maybe just not a necessity after attending a football game. Even my 17 yo said it was way too loud for most of the content. When the teenagers say it's too loud, then it's probably too gotdamn loud. The weird part is that it didn't usually bother me when there was actual music playing. It was the worst during anything else. The light show is ok, but nothing to write home about or make me wanna go to the game. The drone show thing is cool, but falls flat a little when it's 10-10 with Wyoming, heading into the 4th. Bottom line, give me a team that's playing good Texas football and winning games, and I'll be happy. Don't do that, and none of the bells and whistles will ever make up for it. ETA: Fuck Bob Cole.

They're handed down from the older guys as they leave. Consider there are 50+ guys out there. The letters are constants, the Horns on either side of Texas changed week in and week out. Now that the Hellraiser Honeys are folded in to the Hellraisers, I can't speak to the method anymore.

I have really bad news for you and the rest of us old guys out there--the Athletics Department is not going to cater to "fans of college football" to the exclusion of "a broader audience." Because the students today are broadly not fans of college football. I don't know if you've been paying attention to the interests and viewing habits of Gen Z, but they're not into watching sports (college or professional). And if all you have on offer is 1) football and 2) a band playing Wabash Cannonball (fucking seriously?), you're not going to attract a whole lot of students. And that means in ten years, you're not going to have a whole lot of people making donations to the LHF and sitting in those expensive west side stands. So yeah, Milo--
September 18, 20232 yr People like to bitch about the game day experience but it should be catered to the students and players. Sorry if that offends the old timers. Your time on campus has passed and what’s cool has changed.

But here's the thing: there are a lot of things that aren't working at other schools. Take a look a college football attendance around the country. It's down markedly over the last ten years. And that reduction is led by the student sections. There's a big reason why Texas and a whole lot of other schools are experimenting with "filler." There are a lot of reasons to opt for the couch rather than going to the game. Texas, and every other athletic department in the country, is looking at that "filler" to provide a reason to get off the couch and come to the game. But for a lot of our students and younger alumni, the game isn't a draw at all. For them, there are a lot of reasons to go do anything else on a Saturday. The "filler" is intended to provide a reason to go to a game that they otherwise have no interest in.
September 18, 20232 yr I agree with LL this is about continuity of attendance and the donor class as older generations age out. The general problem with the filler is always going to be the issue of somebody can do that filler piece better as their point of 100% focus than an AD can when it is one of a hundred things they are trying to manage. There was almost certainly a better concert in Austin on Saturday night There was almost certainly a better dance party in Austin on Saturday night Hell there may have been a better light show There is better food to eat, better drinks to drink at hundreds of places not named DKR-TMS Etc etc etc Execution is always going to be the tough part but get used to it It ain’t going away

You can then work that crowd with experiences, camera work, general admission policies, spirit groups, phone interaction, prizes, and welltimed stadium interaction. They also entertain themselves and create unique experiences.Alcohol fixes the other issues as does winning and playing bigtime programs.Gimmicks are not why college football is special. The UT gameday experience is bloated to say the least.

It's here for the gimmicks. And that "bloat" is needed to attract them.
