A running buddy had an extra ticket to the UT football game against UTEP this past saturday and he invited me along. UTEP gave them a good game last year out in El Paso but it wasn't a contest this year. UT won 64-7. This picture is of the pre game festivities. Look at all those burnt orange shirts. I understand that if there is a good breeze, keeping that flag on the ground can be a real adventure for the handlers. The game started at 2:30 and it was 94 degrees. The paid attendance was 101,000 people - that's 40 times the size of Cooperstown. yikes. The good news for us was that we were in the shade for the entire game. Even though it wasn't much of a game, it was fun to be a part of it.
