Awwwwhhhh… Poor kid.

And what is with the announcer. “He probably ate one of those deep fried things, and it is backing up on him.” Not even sure what to say about that one.

I had always thought some of the Aggie traditions were crazy, but I really have no words to explain what is going on here. Someone told me it is some thing where they bunch together real close in a square and try to protect their dog. Apparently the corp members crowd together at critical times during a game and squeeze their testicles in order to feel the pain of the players and inspire the team. (thanks Mick) Sounds Aggie-rific to me. Maybe they just knew they were going to lose.

And what is the deal with the guy in the front? Is he friends with Aggie basketball legend Chris Walker maybe?

Man, this was one of the crazier tailgates that I have ever been a part of. We camped out starting Thursday night around 8pm and finally left Sunday around noon.

There were a total of 9 kegs at the tailgate, of which 6 we floated on Saturday (pretty impressive if I do say so). Everyone seemed to have a good time and everyone else that was tailgating in the lot were extremely friendly.

I took plenty of photos which you can check out in our gallery. I have also included some pictures below that I thought were the highlights. Just click on them to enlarge.

All in all I would say it was a success. And please let me know if you stopped by and had a good time.

So I don’t know if you have heard, but the tailgate situation down in Austin right now is pretty extreme. We arrived at parking lot 3 last night around 8:30pm and we were #14 on the list! The people at this lot first started the list earlier that day at 12pm. This is just insane.

The good news though is that we have our spots, so everything should be good to go with the beer. If you are around the area, stop by at 17th and Congress and look for a BevoSports.com sign. Below are some pictures from the festivities last night, including our RV (click the image to enlarge).

He even got a couple of big cheers from the crowd and my section even started a “Chuck, Chuck, etc” chant.

More than 400 people were treated at the three cooling tents and five EMS stations at the stadium.

Man, $161 million? Each game brings in 35,000 out of town visitors? Now those are some serious stats.

The University of Texas has just annouced a new campaign to promote good sportsmanship among fans, suitably titled “Texas Fans Make Us Proud.”

Definitely an interesting choice of words, as depending on the enunciation they are either:
(a) telling us we make them proud, or (b) telling us to make them proud.

They have also included some hilarious supporting images to help us understand just what they mean:

Come early, be loud, stay late, wear orange.

Welcome visiting teams and their fans.

Respect the game officials.

If you drink alcohol, know your limit and stay well under it.

Watch your language. Remember the stands are filled with children.

Man, I feel better about knowing what to do, how about you?
