The university is doing a variety of things to honor deceased coach Darrell K. Royal, who passed away on Wednesday morning.
Here's what's going on:
The University will light the #UTTower, in all burnt orange, tonight for Coach Royal. #DKR

For those who'd like to visit DKR's statue, a UT official tells me the stadium gates will be open from 7 AM-11 PM today/tomorrow.

A Facebook event is encouraging fans to replace "Give 'em hell, give 'em hell, go 'Horns go" with "Give 'em hell, give 'em hell, D-K-R" during the Texas fight song on Saturday morning.
There's also a foundation dedicated to researching and developing a cure for Alzheimer's that bears his name. The website is here and includes the option to donate money to the cause.
