New Strong-Era Texas Football Jerseys to Remove Burnt Orange

0 3019

In a statement released today, Coach Charlie Strong remains steadfast in bringing the T back to Texas. The big news coming out of the 40 Acres: Burnt Orange will officially be removed from all jerseys for the 2014 Football Season.

“Burnt Orange has become too much of an icon for the University of Texas Football program. As head football coaches like Texas Tech’s Kliff Kingsbury become designers in their own right, I’m becoming the anti-designer,” Coach Strong said when describing the update to the design.

Coach Strong went on to explain that numbers on jerseys will be off-white, so that individualism remains subtle.

Recently, Strong created a new rule banning any players from throwin’ up the Hook ’em Horns until they earn it. It remains to be seen if players will eventually be able to earn the burnt orange back throughout the season.

UPDATE: Our April Fools prediction came true! See photos below from a recent  practice where Longhorn stickers were removed from helmets (players have to earn them back).

SXSW definitely jumped the shark this year, but that’s another post. In the meantime, here’s what you may have missed while you were on Spring Break (if you were crazy enough to leave).

Jimmy Kimmel came to town and toured UT with Guillermo

Which means a lot of celebs threw up the Horns!

And, the Longhorn Band performed with Aloe Blacc

Big Bertha even made an appearance

Snoop Dogg thought Austin was dope

(probably in more ways than one)

The Biebs even performed at Banger’s

 

And we actually let him shoot some hoops

Oh, and Pi was written in the sky

Here’s hoping your Spring Break was fun.

Welcome back. Hook ’em!

Jimmy & Guillermo (don’t mind the subtle racism of this relationship) visited toured our beloved 40 Acres this past week during SXSW.

While there, they ran into Dr. Junker (a lecturer in Advertising/PR), DJ Scott from KVRX, and the ladies of Alpha Epsilon Phi…and even made a pit stop at the Hole in the Wall.

Enjoy.

Top 15 Reasons Why OU (Still) Sucks

0 33766

It’s no surprise that we play a game against OU in the great state of Texas rather than the stinkhole armpit of America called Norman. Here are the Top 15 Reasons Why Oklahoma Sucks (make sure you read until the end for a special surprise).

15.) Because they’re stupid enough to report something like this

 

14.) There’s a reason the Red River Rivalry is held in Dallas. A Longhorn once went to Norman and this happened…

13.) Because a stadium full of Sooners wouldn’t be a pretty sight…

Tx-Ou-Stadium

12.) Because most of their team is from Texas

Seriously. Check out this post.

 

11.) Because they’re dumber than a box of rocks

18.) Felicia Day

Her hair is kinda burnt orange. And, she’s probably every gamer’s fantasy due to her Internet stardom (on top of playing “Vi” on TV’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer). She graduated from Texas in 2000, double majoring in mathematics and musical performance. Seriously. That hair.
