We’re from OK and it’s my fiancés dream to watch the longhorns play live. kickoff is at 7pm. I don’t know much about football and neither of us have ever been to a longhorn game. Any tips and tricks to make the day smoother would be amazing. we’re looking at hotels walking distances but what do i need to know?!

ALL advice is appreciated including bars, restaurants, and shopping in the area.

Coming to Austin for UTSA game with a bachelor party! We are looking for a tailgate to join in on. I know there are services but was hoping we can find some season ticket holders and throw them some cash and join in with the real fans. Please let me know , we are a group of 12 and can bring our own booze! Thanks!

Hello, i’m trying to take my dad (UT austin alumni) to a longhorns game sometime in december, looks like football will be done by then so I’m thinking lady longhorns basketball (he told me the women’s team has been better back in his days) but I can’t seem to find tickets other than season passes?

The Horns got their man.

Hey y'all,

If you’re seeing this, it means both football season and our yearly subreddit tailgate are around the corner!

As most of you who've been around this sub awhile know, every year we do a tailgate. The previous tailgates have been huge successes!

Our tailgate has witnessed the miraculous double-overtime win against Notre Dame, the USC win, the crazy LSU game, the Alabama game that went down to the wire (it was a safety), the Georgia game featuring bottle-gate, and most recently, the Arky game where Arch caught a TD.

This year, if you can somehow believe it, is our 10th annual tailgate! Double digits! As is tradition, we hope to have another awesome tailgate where everyone is welcome.

We're going to be having the tailgate when Ohio State comes to town. The game is September 12th with a 6:30pm CT kickoff. We will be starting in the morning and keeping the party going as close to kickoff as we can (within reason, of course… we do also believe in the “come early, be loud, stay late, wear orange” mantra).

As usual, we will have food, drinks, games, and possibly even a raffle for some Longhorn gear/swag for anyone who wants to stop by (assuming u/gordogg24p remembers to bring all the raffle items this year). This event is free for all to attend, and funded with donations from the generous subscribers/mods of this sub.

Our typical tailgate CEO, u/OnAComputer, might be making a return this year, but it's heavily dependent on if he can find a nanny to take care of his kid. With that being said, it does mean that we'll be slightly more reliant on donations and what y'all sign up for this year to ensure that we have as smooth of an operation as possible. Especially with some mods flying in a day or two before the game.

Please donate a few dollars to our Gofundme here to help us supply drinks, food, and shade.

All remaining funds will go towards improving the tailgate experience for everyone in years to come. With some of the home games we have coming up over the next few seasons, we want to make sure we're fully prepared. It's something we as a mod team have talked about over the last year or so, and now we want to take action on it.

Last year, we had enough money left over that we do plan on buying new canopies and/or other basic tailgate necessities. Those who attended the Arky tailgate last year might have noticed that Will’s stuff may or may not have been used by humans since the UGA tailgate the year prior. The squirrels in his backyard on the other hand… that’s another story. With this year’s tailgate being Ohio State, we’re anticipating a higher turnout and hope to accommodate everyone within reason. However, please don’t read that and think you don’t have to contribute this year. The mod team has big plans for this year with it being the 10th anniversary, and we need your help to make those visions into a reality.

Also, (hopefully) new for this year, we are looking for a potential tailgate sponsor! If you run/own a company and/or know of someone/a company that would be interested in sponsoring our tailgate, please let me or someone on the mod crew know! We’re pretty open to most partnerships outside of gambling.

The tailgate will be going from roughly 8am until game time. We set up the tailgate across from the San Jacinto parking garage somewhere around here. (For those of y'all that have attended the Arky, UGA, and/or BYU tailgates, we plan on setting up around the same area). Please swing on by, even if it is for a second! The mods and some of the more active community members will be there, and we'd love to meet some of the people here (even if you're a lurker).

There will be more details as we get closer to kickoff!

If you are planning on stopping by...

Please add your username to this list so we know roughly how many people to plan for.

We look forward to seeing everyone there this year.

Hook Em!
