The Indefinite List Of Things Every Longhorn Should Do In Austin
Austin is a beautiful place that we Longhorns like to call home. No other school in the Big 12 lives in as cool as a city as we do. No one is dying to move to Lubbock, Aimes...and they sure as hell don't want to move to Norman. This is where this handy list of things every Longhorn should do by the time you walk across that stage at graduation. Hook 'em!
Take a swim in Barton Springs
Sure, it's probably colder than your high school ex-girlfriend, but when it's 100+ degrees outside, it doesn't really matter. This is probably the best place to catch up on studying O-chem or that hot Longhorn laying out tanning.
Mag Mud at 3AM
Black beans, queso, avocado, and pico de gallo. 3AM. Wednesday night. Do it (and not just once).

Do the Trudy’s Trifecta Challenge
This is every Longhorn's rite of passage when they turn 21. Visit all 3 and order your limit of Mexican Martinis (they cut you off at 2 at each restaurant). Do so responsibly of course.
Scarf down breakfast tacos the morning after
Best eaten the morning after hittin' up the bars on Thursday night, where you may or may not have been kicked out of a bar or two (seriously, don't be that guy). Our favorites are Torchy's Tacos, Juan in a Million, Taco Shack, and Taco Deli.

University of Indiana Student Is Worse At Wheel of Fortune Than An Aggie
University of Indiana student Julian Bates lost a chance at $1,000,000, a trip to London, and a new car, but worst of all...an Aggie came in and guessed correctly on more than one occasion during Wheel of Fortune College Week.
Don't worry. The Aggie and 'Bama girls still managed to screw things up as he somehow made it to the Bonus Round. The world makes sense again.
New Strong-Era Texas Football Jerseys to Remove Burnt Orange
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).
Notice the blank helmets? Yep, stickers are another thing Texas players will have to earn back. pic.twitter.com/IwX9aWL2KV

Jimmy Kimmel & Guillermo toured UT-Austin
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
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
Oklahoma self-reported NCAA violations, including 3 players eating excess pasta at a banquet. Each gave $3.83 to charity to be reinstated.

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...
12.) Because most of their team is from Texas
Seriously. Check out this post.
11.) Because they're dumber than a box of rocks
