UT Football Experience

Take the 3rd largest university in these great United States, a number 2 ranked team in the nation, a heisman trophy candidate, the greatest showband in the south, and 83,000+ people in a football stadium, you'll have a tremendous experience even if you don't like football. Seriously, I'm not about a bunch of dudes killin' themselves over a piece of pigskin.

Talk about sensory overload, so much stuff going on, sights of people everywhere, smells of overpriced 'jumbo dogs', sounds of anxious fans, touches of big hairy dudes sitting next to you in a small seat, and the sweet taste of a 51-10 victory over the nerds of Rice.

Great seats, Howard, you are my new Ambassador of something for giving me the ticket, you completely rock!

Interesting the big flag, easily the biggest I've ever seen. A kicker was actually kicking footballs on the flag giving it a 'ripple' effect, pure genius. Meanwhile,a dude, some big contributor was throwing this baton 10 million feet in the air and trying to catch it.

Videotime -- we went to the bandhall first and saw the 'pre-game' show in the bandhall (video clip) -- all that work creates a great show for the crowds (video clip).

Later that night was some big time overpriced beer at Scholz Garten. John, Howard, Ashley, and yours truly, Mr. Bald head. Notice in the picture I'm representin' for my old school, SWT, with my Bobcat scratch hand signal going on. Waving it with pride, well, kinda.

Amazing time, and y'all do the math, avg 55 bucks a tick -- 83,300 people, makes a nice payday of $4,581,500. Not a bad days work for the pigskin boys, simply astounding!
