New Strong-Era Texas Football Jerseys to Remove Burnt Orange

0 2691

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).

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.

Why Cedar Fever Sucks Almost As Much As OU

0 4882

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!
