It's a Longhorn world

This is an actual advertisement in the concourse of Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima, Peru. It touts the mobile phone service Telefonica Movistar which originates in Spain.

It's worth noting that, partially due to the lure of Macchu Picchu, more than 2 million tourists from all over the world are likely to see this sign this year. Making it one of the most effective international emissaries for UT.

(I have no idea if it appears elsewhere but I'll be keeping an eye out for it from now on.)

Awesome...

I’ll bet he’s flashing a hook ‘em off-camera. But, why’s the chick flashing a gang sign?

The Shocker Gang is one of the most feared.

You never know when they are going to hit, only where.

Perhaps the most recognizable mascot in sports, and certainly the toughest looking, Bevo is a fixture

I would like to take this opportunity to Motion that.....

Burnt Orange Nation go against the grain here. Forget Gator Nation, forget Red Sox Nation, forget Sensation Nation. From now on we should refer to it as “Burnt Orange World”. I know dub each of you BOWers.

If we are claiming to be the Jones, lets act like the Jones. Can’t nobody stop us now.
