checking in from the bus

Thank you! It was a lot of fun. We even got complimented by a UT fan after the game while we were standing outside. He thought it was cool that that we all came down for the game and that we never stopped cheering. Idk how loud we actually were, but it felt like we were being heard and was fun anyway. Some observations I had (non-game related:) Really weird looking arena from the outside, but I did really like the orange lighting outside the arena. It would be cool if we had something like that with green. The inside was cool, I liked the lights-out intro and because they have a bigger arena, the scoreboard strip was cool. Hopefully one day we can get the drop down scoreboard in the pit. This was my first in person experience with UT, so maybe it's not always like this.. but I would much rather have the Pit Crew and our basketball band. Not impressed with the band (hooked up through speakers, really?) and didn't really see a big student section. Perhaps there is something to the "tshirt fans" that I always hear about. Maybe it was just this game, but I was disappointed with that aspect (although it was better for us on the bus!)

Got to love the "Nearly nominated for a Grammy: Phunky Phresh Balls Band" of North Texas!!!!

+1 for calling out the UT band on using speakers- LAME!
