September 15, 20241 yr The tickets are crazy expensive this year. I usually go to one game in October or November and holy crap. I am having a hell of a time pulling the trigger on this. Like certain A&M 9.95ers I make six figs but I am clearly a poor in the Texas Football fanbase.

I was ruminating on the idea of driving up to Dallas while visiting my mother in October. I guess the days* of walking up fifteen minutes before game time and buying an upper deck ticket for $15 are over. (*those were the David McWilliams days)

September 15, 20241 yr Agreed on the smoke, especially if it's interfering with the game. But it's remarkable how far the overall presentation has come in the last few years. From Jetpack Guy to Drone Shows.

I guess the days* of walking up fifteen minutes before game time and buying an upper deck ticket for $15 are over. (*those were the David McWilliams days) Heh. I did that for years when I was a kid. And I vividly remember the first time I showed up to the game and there were no tickets to be had for $20. It was 1998, Mack Brown and Ricky Williams killed those days...until 2015. In 2015 you could basically go to every game for free and I pretty much did. Of course you also had to watch the 2015 Texas Longhorns play football. In the Sims/Applewhite/Vince/Colt era I was living in a shitty apartment in North Austin and working a shitty office job and I would save up $100 for each home game and I got in every game, except for Ohio State 2006, and often had enough for a snack or something. But the total amount I saved up to see Vince play in every home game in 2005 will not even be close to the amount of money I would need just to buy tickets for me and my family to watch this version of Texas play Florida or Kentucky for one game. Crazy. In fact it will be well in excess of twice that. Edited September 15, 20241 yr by Valmy77

September 16, 20241 yr The orange smoke delayed the game (a few seconds) because the refs couldn't see the clocks at the end of the field. Oops.I despise the smoke……but to be fair (sort of), “they” seemed to be accelerating the start back time between the 3rd and 4th quarters and looked like it caught everyone by surprise. This of course after every other time out period was excruciatingly long.

It’s like this for every live entertainment event these days. Sports, music, comedy. Doesn’t matter but yeah, the football program of the flagship university in the 2nd largest populated (and one of the fastest growing) state in the country that has been starved for a quality product for a decade and half is going to have some sticker shock

September 22, 20241 yr Popular Post Just a thought everyone ... pick up your trash on the way out. For bonus points, pick up just one more item than you brought in. There are trash and recycling cans just outside of the portal exits. 100,000 hands picking up just a little bit could make the place look a lot nicer after a game.

September 22, 20241 yr Yeah I was going to ask if they still use high school students to clean in exchange for money for senior trip or some shit like my school did ~25 years ago. I just remember hearing we were assigned 1 or 2 sections and then ended up having to clear damn near the entire East side lower level. Sneaking out half full flasks from the student sections was good practice for sneaking in full flasks the following few years though Edited September 22, 20241 yr by UTexasFight

September 22, 20241 yr Every Saturday, AC/DC receives a shitton of royalty revenue. I think every college stadium plays Thunderstruck at least once.
September 22, 20241 yr Popular Post Great experience. My 13 years old's first game and we had some great seats. Only downer was I told him they'd have a drone show, but I guess that's not at every night game? He's not a big football fan but had a great time and said "I like football now". Lack of Bob Cole was fantastic. New dude was fine, and not a distraction at all. Obviously it was a great outcome. Entry/exit was fast (thanks to the blowout). We of course stayed the whole time and sang the eyes. We also brought in some extra trash and threw it around a few sections. /surly

At least the Youngs and Bon Scott (not that he was around by then). I’m so old there was a time when it was new and not overplayed. I even remember when “Highway to Hell” was edgy. So, yeah.

September 22, 20241 yr 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.
September 22, 20241 yr Well, if we're going with lyrics, how about these from a Texas band: Quote Under the lights where we stand tall Nobody touches us at all Showdown, shootout, spread fear within, without We're gonna take what's ours to have Spread the word throughout the land They say bad guys wear black We're tagged and can't turn back You see us comin' And you all together run for cover We're taking over this town Here we come reach for your gun And you better listen well, my friend, you see It's been slowed down below Aimed at you, we're the cowboys from hell Deed is done again, we've won Ain't talking no tall tales friend 'Cause high noon, your doom Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell Pillage the village, trash the scene But better not take it out on me 'Cause a ghost town is found Where your city used to be So out of the darkness and into the light Sparks fly everywhere in sight From my double barrel, 12-gauge Can't lock me in your cage You see us comin' And you all together run for cover We're taking over this town Here we come reach for your gun And you better listen well, my friend, you see It's been slowed down below Aimed at you, we're the cowboys from hell Deed is done again, we've won Ain't talking no tall tales friend 'Cause high noon, your doom Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell Here we come reach for your gun And you better listen well, my friend, you see It's been slowed down below Aimed at you, we're the cowboys from hell Deed is done again, we've won Ain't talking no tall tales friend 'Cause high noon, your doom Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell, ahhh Step aside, we're the cowboys from hell
