    As someone who is strongly contemplating buying a jersey for the first time in a very long time, do they properly stitch the numbers on or is it all ironed on?

    The college fan jerseys that Nike sells to the public are all iron on now. I know they used to make fully stitched jerseys for select numbers, but that stopped shortly before 2020.

  2. Would rather listen to the Mariachi over 80% of the mainstream nonsense they pipe in. Best option would be have LHB play more during timeouts, but that doesn't seem to be possible for whatever reason.

    The bathroom situation at halftime in the North and East upper decks was the worst I've ever seen. Lines were about 2 sections deep at the ones I saw, although they did move at a pretty good pace. Probably more of a volume or user-error problem rather than a CDC issue.

  3. Grabbed some of the new 100th Anniversary of DKR Yeti cups at the home opener. I don't believe UT advertised the white one prior to the game, so it surprised me when I saw it at the concessions stand. One of the better designs we've gotten over the last few years IMO.

    Per CDC, it sounds like more of them will be available at the UTSA game.

    Love that CDC has held concession prices to his original rollbacks for all these years, it's funny because it makes the third party vendors look so much worse. 

    To me, this is one of the biggest wins for the gameday experience over the last few years. Given inflation, the rising cost of food, and every restaurant jacking up prices to make a quick buck, you'd expect UT to follow suit.

    They probably never made much money off of concessions following the rollback, but at this point I bet they lose a good amount just to maintain prices. It probably gets balanced out via alcohol sales or they rationalize it as a "gameday experience" expense, but regardless it's still really great to see.

    On another food related note I love that Pluckers continues to give out the 5-free wing coupons following each win. Those coupons have probably outperformed the value of the US dollar over the last 10 years with how expensive wings have gotten.

  5. Maybe the one good thing Jumbo did for aggy was getting their uniform situation corrected. The throwback-inspired jerseys with the glossy helmet is a great look for them, and few (only 1 I believe) alternates during his tenure was also cool to see.

    Seems like he might have been the big driver for that, as immediately after he leaves they're back to the "swag" that the last coach pushed with a boring black uniform 🥱

  6. When comparing 1 loss teams, I believe that the committee would give priority to those who have won their conference championship game. Only exception to this would be Georgia, as I fear that they'd try to sneak in both Bama and and the 2-time defending national champions (it's not fair, but I could see them doing it).

    SEC, B10, and PAC are all probably getting at least 1 team in no matter what at this point. We need Georgia to win and FSU to lose to make it in. There's also a chance we could jump another 1 lose conference champion if we obliterate okie lite like 45-0 (see tOSU in 2014), but it's unlikely.

    It's unfortunate, but in terms of playoff contention we probably picked the worst year in the last 10 to be a 1 loss team.

  7. Volume was definitely quieter than the first 3 games, which was awesome. There was a point at the beginning of the second half when it got loud for like a minute, and then immediately went back to the quieter levels.

    On-field MC guy and the 4th quarter smoke show are still super annoying, but I'll tolerate them if the music stays at the volume that it was at on Saturday.
