Longhorn girls are hot. Not only because they look good in jeans, boots, and burnt orange, but because they're smart as hell. She'll most likely be your boss at home and/or at work, but fear not. It's for the better. So, read below as we give you the 18 Reasons Why It's Better to Date a Longhorn Girl...Hook 'em!

1.) She ain't afraid to yell "Make 'em eat shit!" instead of "Go Horns, Go!" during Texas Fight!

2.) She's so hot that even at away games, she'll gain national media attention.

I'm not lying, read this story.

3.) But, she ain't afraid of saying what she really thinks in front of the camera.

20.) Bill Moyers

For all of you PBS hippie lovers, President Johnson's former Press Secretary, Bill Moyers, graduated from the University in 1956. He is well known for his work in public broadcasting, where you'll find him on his weekly show Moyers & Company.

19.) Roger Clemens

Not unknown to controversy, 11-time All-Star, 2-time World Series Champion, and 7-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens helped the Longhorns win the 1983 College World Series. He is the first player to have his baseball uniform retired at UT...'cause Hook 'em!

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.

Austin-based blogger Etsy-ist Kammie Russel created this infographic that you can pass along to those passive-aggressive hipster friends of yours in Portland.

Just tell them you hear Dallas is cool.

It comes around every January to Austin, Texas. If you're brand new here, you probably don't know what it is. It usually take 2-3 years before you catch it...and it ain't fun.

Below is a pic that looks like smoke, but it's actually Cedar pollen flyin' through the air in the Green Belt.

It's called Cedar Fever and yes, it's that bad.

For one, it'll turn you into a monster.

Your eyes will tear up so bad in the middle of the day...people will think you were this kid from OU.

It's so bad, people will think you were high...

Or, think you've turned into some sort of zombie...

Or, that you've just broken up with your boyfriend/girlfriend...

And yes, it'll make you feel as if someone just punched you in the face...

And, just kept on punching you all. day. long.

To the point where you won't even remember your own name...

But, don't worry. Because it'll be over soon and you'll remember one thing.

OU STILL SUCKS!

Last night, Mack Brown tweeted that he had never gone to a tailgate before. Can you believe it? We'd be the first to smoke a brisket with Coach. Who's in?

Never been to a tail gate before. That will be fun. I could learn to like that

— Mack Brown (@UT_MackBrown) January 9, 2014

Of course, he said he was havin' fun.

Just having some fun! That's ok. We all need to have more fun

— Mack Brown (@UT_MackBrown) January 9, 2014

But, we offered it up anyways...you know, just in case.

@UT_MackBrown We'll do a tailgate in your honor, Mack!

Come to our tailgate, Mack!

Tough decisions ahead. Too many great tailgate opportunities. This will be fun! U guys are great

He rose to the top of /r/pics and is now doing an AMA on Reddit!

Our favorite post:

His Twitter profile pic is awesome, too.

 

Johnny Manziel: America's bad boy Heisman Trophy Winner and long-time wannabe Texas Longhorn. We're actually going to miss him (he announced he's entering the NFL Draft) because deep down, he'll always bleed burnt orange. Here's proof.

Little Johnny Football's basketball team was called the Longhorns

He may or may not have been considered for a safety position with us. But nevertheless, check out this picture of him with Mack Brown, yo!

 

He said this Longhorn tattoo is fake, but does anyone truly know?

 

FAKE tattoo..

Or, how about that time he threw up a Hook 'em Horns at a Wale concert in Austin...?

Or, that time he got kicked out of a West Campus frat party.

Don't worry, Johnny boy. Your dream has come true. You no longer have to live in College Station. Good luck in the NFL and Hook 'em!
