I thought that one picture (“Teaching the Fundamentals of Texas Music”) was Big Tex at first.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that the band seems a lot quieter, too. I think they moved them because the north end would cause weird echoes otherwise, and because on the students’ side, it was always nearly impossible to hear the band unless you were right next to them. But without the east stands acting as a big baffle to contain the sound, I think some of it is getting lost.

Not sure what the solution is — put them on the north end, maybe? (But those seats are $$$$ for the athletic department…)

Being a guest of the BAND sounds like a dream come true. You can actually *hear* them from there, as opposed to anywhere else in the stadium since they moved them into the corner. And you can see them without binoculars. (disappointed band mom).
Next time, make sure you get a photo of the cymbal section, and my lovely daughter Sami.
Or at least some really good action shots of our boys cuz I need some new material for a sports painting.

The actual, live, could-be-cut-up-for-really-bad-steaks steer is called Bevo. The current one is Bevo XIV. The stories you hear about how he got his name are probably untrue.

The person in the uncomfortable-looking costume is Hook ‘Em. Well, no, that’s the person when wearing the costume. I’m sure the person has a normal name that he or she uses when not dressed up like an ambulatory side of beef.
