The loss to tech sucked but that stadium was still full and loaded, as you said for most of the game, However, the end of the 3rd quarter people were leaving and by the time the 4th was almost over, my section was a ghost town. Not all the improvements are lost on me, but maybe people are leaving early in a win because they are tired of all the ancillary bullshit being heaped upon them. You give me the Cotton Bowl environment in Austin and I'll buy a decades worth of season tickets today. Not everyone has to be entertained like a 5-14 year old. Austin is full of stuff like that and people are welcome to go enjoy those types of events instead of trying to make the football game about catering to the entire family. It doesn't need to be said because I'm preaching to the choir, but shit, Royal said it best about our uniforms, but it applies to the gameday experience as well. Don't candy this shit up, these are work clothes. I'm glad you had a nice experience and I'm glad that your family had a nice time. That still doesn't change the fact that people most likely leave early because the "experience" they are getting is tiresome and they'd rather do something else once the game is decided. I love The University of Texas, but knowing all the stuff I'm going to have to put up with inside the stadium makes my big TV and cool AC an attractive offer. Honestly, the guy below makes a great point...
Fucking A, homie. Favorite game of the year.
#1 complaint heard numerous times on Saturday... "Another stoppage? Damn, this is going to take forever." From both Texas and WV fans.
How about we just play the games and let those greed mofos buy score ad space like soccer does and just play the damn game? Or run ads on the side while the game keeps rolling? Money hungry bitches.
