So Chris (the multimedia editor) and I were out reporting on the ticket pull mosh pit last night. He did all the important stuff, and I followed him around like a pet chimpanzee. We may have talked to you. You may have been drunk.
Anyway, there are two things that really irked me about the whole stampede.
TS apparently decided to further its plan to absorb all the money in the world by posting parking ticket guys in the trees. I swear I saw them spring from the bowels of the Earth to strike at people parked in the bike lane. TS should just build treehouses for their ticket-robots and order them to jump on passing cars. That would solidify their reign of terror.
By the way, if you were one of the guys Chris and I saw argue with the TS dude over a ticket, thanks for the laugh. I assume you guys are freshmen; you'll eventually come to realize that only the tears of a baby seal can persuade a TS guy from sticking you with a citation.
Also, Chris and I ran into a few students who hadn't attended a basketball game so far this season. Apparently they thought they deserved a ticket even though they hadn't supported the team since the start of the season.
To those people: I sincerely hope you have to watch the game at home.
The season doesn't start with UT, and it doesn't end with UT. I'd like to think Billy G. would have some choice words for those of you who think that sitting out 95 percent of the season and freaking out over one, not-so-important game is how to show your spirit.
You want more student seating?
You want more respect for your team?
You want to shake off the image of a bandwagon student body?
Then you need to fight tooth-and-nail for every single freakin' ticket you can get, no matter the opponent. Texas isn't the only obstacle in our way to college basketball dominance.
