  1. Depends on who you ask.
  2. Thanks for clearing up the "Dixieland Delight" song. I looked up "Dixie Wonderland" and was having a hard time trying to figure out why they'd celebrate the win with it...
  3. Just to be clear, the game did actually get its name from the juice flavor... "The word Pog originates from a schoolyard game labeled “Milk Caps,” played with flat circular cardboard tops. Players make a stack of these caps, and take turns to drop a heavier “slammer” object onto it, causing the caps to scatter. Each player keeps any face-up caps and re-stacks the face-down ones, repeating the process until none land face-down, at which point the player who collected the most caps wins the game. The game was soon trademarked as Poggers, under which it was sold commercially in the 1990s. The name originates from Pog, a brand of juice made from passionfruit, orange, and guava; the use of the juice’s caps to play the game preceded the game’s commercialization."
  4. Now I really wish my username were @longhornburner20238572010238
  5. Uh, it's spelled C-L-I-F-F...from the Old English word clif of essentially the same meaning, cognate with Dutch, Low German, and Old Norse klif. These may in turn all be from a Romance loanword into Primitive Germanic that has its origins in the Latin forms clivus and clevus meaning "slope" or "hillside".
  6. Originally, UT was referred to as "Varsity," while A&M was referred to as "College."
