The first tailgate of the season for UT McCombs was epic. The food was great, the music was great, the game (was still great, though Rice lost), and most importantly the people were great. Great job to those who planned it. The increased tailgate price was definitely worth it. I dutifully supported my Rice compadres, but still wore some orange to show my support. UT definitely didn’t need any though. I was just there praying that Rice didn’t get crushed. My prayers unfortunately were not answered with UT winning 34 to 9. What a day. Go Rice Owls! Good job…
