As Always, Hook ‘Em Horns

utbaylorEven though every student is busy with studying and exams, there is always time for a University of Texas football game. This past weekend’s game against Baylor was a hot and sweaty afternoon gamew, starting at 2:30PM. I began the game celebration by walking down Guadalupe around noon. Like any other UT football game, people filled the streets with burnt orange and white everything, from clothing and accessories to cups and temporary tattoos. People of all ages, from babies to the elderly were ready to show their support for the Longhorns.

Past Guadalupe, I attended a tailgate to get into the spirits of the game. All the fans at the tailgate were not only pumped for the football game, but were also proud to carry the UT name (despite our current football record…). After the lively tailgate, hordes of people made their way to the famous Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium. While the game was a bit of a disappointment, one can never not enjoy the tens of thousands of people who continuously show their support. The completely different varieties of people, the study-bugs, athletes, health-nuts, and much more that come together under one roof, to become part of the UT fan base, never ceases to amaze me.

If you did not purchase season tickets or have not been to a game, I highly recommend spending a few extra bucks to be a part of this one of a kind experience. While we do not always win, we can guarantee a great time at the game. Until next time, Hook ‘Em Horns!
