College Merchandise Question

Baby Arm! · November 19, 2008

It looks like Wal Mart was going after the tailgater market this year. Here in New Braunfels the seasonal section of the local Wal Mart was filled with all things burnt orange. Canopies, lawn chairs, clothing, coolers, taigate party supplies. etc. Being so close to Austin I figured this was some regional marketing. I was wondering what team merchandise the Wal Marts in Dallas and Houston were stocking? Heck, what's the Wal Mart on Loop 288 in Denton stocking?

Texas and OU tents and tailgate gear were all you could get in Denton

Not even a UNT chair, even Kroger here has had those from time to time.

Houston Wal-Marts have the Texans, Cowboys, UT and A&M.

Academy in Houston has the Houston pro teams, some Cowboys gear, UT, A&M, Rice and U of Houston.

Let forget for the moment people who buy the OU/UT stuff who have no connection to either school. What I wanna know is, if one isn't even going to Norman or Austin, then what the hell would one need an OU/UT tent for? Hey! Look at me! I went to DCCCD! I'm having a picnic in the city park! I've got my Longhorn tent up!

That, without question, is the douchiest of douchery!

As far as the Wal-Mart in my neighborhood. The tailgating gear (chairs, coolers, tents) is UT, A$M and Cowboys. You can also get a good selection of Boswell HS and Saginaw HS t-shirts, hats, and sweats. There is also the occasional TCU hat, but I don't remember seeing any shirts or sweats.
