We could have White Out. Get it. whiteout. nevermind.

Our biggest tradition is parents spending a ton of money on tuition.



fuuuny...thats why people wear red to the game so they can tell us apart

Traditionally everyone hates Nacho. (He is the one in white that never sweats.)

Another apparent tradition is to dress up in your UT colors and hat to attend the game. I guess you could dress in USC stuff. Same effect.

Leave at halftime to get a drink and then discuss on ponyfans Sunday morning whether or not you could get back into the stadium.

Pigskin Revue is one of the longest-running Mustang Band traditions. This is hosted by the Mustang Band and is supposed to be a university-wide talent show. In recent years, the Greeks, who'd been some of the main participants, have done Sing Song for parents weekend instead. This year, the university is going to try to place a big emphasis on Pigskin Revue and not have competing events.

It's about time! Everyone thinks Pigskin Revue is a band concert, but it is far from that.

It's nice in my world. All white cotton that naturally wicks away the sweat. That and my $3 bottle of water keep me feeling like it's 72 year round. A section to myself. It was grand while it lasted but I fear others in dark colors will soon have their sweaty bodies near me this season.

Don't worry Nacho. If our fans/students keep it up you should only have to endure those people until halftime or until the mass text message about where the frat party is at is circulated.
Back off Warchild seriously.

RB11 I have no idea what you mean half the time but I like your style. Let mrydel sweat with the masses.
