Sign Ideas???
Tips on what to expect (from someone who went to last years gameday)
-if you want your sign to be shown on TV, be there around 2 or 3 AM
-when lee corso comes out of his trailer, everyone rushes over to shake his hand, use this opportunity to get to the front of the line
-you must be physically and mentally fit to endure the abuse and alcohol stench in the line. Get used to be sandwiched very uncomfortably between two or 3 people for a few hours
-Free food (last year it was Chick Fil A biscuits), free shirts, hardhat and other giveaways by sponsors, and usually a free gift card from home depot. If you stay for the whole game day you'll probably get free food, giftcard, and helmet but not any of the freebies.
Overall, after last year, I told myself I would never go to gameday every again, but I have decided to go. TT is alot closer to UT than Mizzou is (i believe) and we should expect lots of visitors

Wow
Someone sure did know what they were doing when they rescheduled the Tech game…probably in no other week of the season would a game like this warrant GameDay coming to town and a primetime TV slot. I’m guessing Tech will crack the Top 25 this week to make it seem more worthy of this kind of attention.
Certainly the revenge factor and Colt’s bid for the Heisman makes for a good story surrounding the game, but this game is hardly the marquee match-up that made UT a frequent Gameday attraction last year.
And as for Colt, even though it’s still early, this it put up or shut up time. He needs to have big numbers to match the hype because everyone will be watching unlike the first couple of weeks. This is definitely his chance to establish himself as the front runner for Texas to look like a world beater. The pundits will be begging for any excuse to dismiss Texas as simply the tallest midget in a year when the Big XII seems to be down.
Be nobody but yourself in a world that desperately wants you to be like everybody else.

They’re somewhere around 27-ish, I think.

We can all worry about style points...
…and being left out in the cold at the end, but there is nothing we can do about it. We’re fans, not players. Its not like I can dial up Greg Davis and tell him the endzone is north, not east. The only thing we CAN do…is show up Saturday. Be there early, be loud, wear orange, and bring DKR down!
I want the Tiggers in Baton Rouge to piss their pants because of the decibel level in DKR on Saturday. The word “REVENGE” needs to be on everybody’s mind. Think about the Crabtree TD, think about the Gideon dropped pick, and think about the safety. Hell, dream it in your head if you have to. Just make a statement. America will take notice.

Taylor Potts should be really, really, nice to Sergio Kindle.
Not really a catchy slogan, but a very helpful suggestion.

i think...
…it’s a Gameday thing. IIRC, it started w/ “Lee Corso wears a merkin”, and variations of it came from it.

I wonder if OUsux
was still unbeaten, would gameday be coming to Austin while knowing they would be headed to Dallas? Will they still head to Dallas? If Ok St. has only one loss and Horns are unbeaten, are they in Stillwater for Halloween?

I can't imagine them not making it to Dallas this year.
If nothing else, because it’ll be one of the most hyped games ever despite Bradford’s injury killing their NC hopes.

It’ll be part 2 of the “revenge tour,” which starts this Saturday.
Speaking of which, “Revenge Tour 2009 Starts Now” might be an uncreative-but-emphatic sign.

Seems to be this week’s “How well do you know Gameday” True/False commercial. Pretty funny stuff. It’s on the gameday website too, along with the answer.

Leach is Negotiating Crabtrees Contract
Leach Would Rather Be at Miami, UCLA, Washington, Clemson, or Auburn
Maybe something relating to how Ruffin looks like Carl Winslow.
by the1austin on Sep 14, 2009 2:55 PM CDT reply actions 1 recs
you know, he does...never thought of that.
Ruffin has about 100 lbs on Carl, but that’s hilarious. We’ll find one for yellow tooth and put it up on dtn.

Tech: enjoy your RoughRide today?
oh wow, that sucks.
Or a variation on something from above: Texas Tech, what starts here changes Saskatchewan… slightly.

Lubbock – Still has Crabbs, but once again has no trees.
Mike Leach ate my Baby
Lubbock – VD lives here.
Texas Tech, because you were rejected from community college.
Someone get a translator for Lou.
Hey Lou, your gray merkin looked better than your blonde one.
Texas Tech, what starts here burns the next morning.
and maybe a sign that has a marijuana leaf with a circle around it and a line through it.
Thats all I got for now.
