BADASS LIGHTING FOR NATIONAL TITLE
Texas does it bigger, even when celebrating a national title. Another one of college football’s insane, gargantuan traditions that make it so goddamn addictive:

Meanwhile over at Trojan Wire, another kind of number is being displayed in response to a lost bet to Burnt Orange Nation. Way to ante up, y’all.

No gratuitious posts about the Tower being used as a hunting blind? Gotta say, I’m kinda disappointed.

I love the tower lighting tradition, but I’ve got to say it’s been sullied a bit recently: they lit it when the Moot Court Team won the national championship. Thankfully, guidelines have been revised and I don’t think that will happen again.

I actually like them lighting up the Tower for random championships. That’s how I found out Texas even had a swimming and diving team…

They closed it up first due to a rash of suicides.
They opened it up again, but had to shut down due to Chuckless Whitman (We Texans are icy hot stuntaz with tha hi-caliber).
They recently started to open it again with more security; I think it was in the spring of 2001.
Oh, umm … uh oh.
