Daniel Camacho and I have decided to feature a regular part of the Jim Rome Show on the blog. During the week preceding a big game, emailers send in their checklists on what the opposing team is probably doing to gear up for the big game. It's basically a listing of all tbe stereotypes of a particular region. The west coast vs midwest US are always the best, but being Texans I think we can discriminate between ourselves pretty well.
Please feel free to add your own in the comments section!
So here's the listing Camacho and I came up with for Texas Tech:
1. Apply cow shit cleaner/pretreatment to boots.
2. Grab gas card so you can drive an hour to go get beer.
3. Grab the fiddle.
4. Gaze over the flatlands.
5. Smell the crap filled air.
6. Fry a calf.
7. Bring pet goat to tailgate.
8. Pick last night's skoal out of teeth.
9. Jam out to Jimmy Buffet in a hawaiian shirt.
10. Regret living in the middle of nowhere.
11. Rally around your 0 championships.
12. Operate under the assumption that a tractor is acceptable to tailgate with.
Here's the UT list:
1. Drive 3 hours just to get out of Austin (in your hybrid car).
2. Dodge hippies.
3. Do a little light shopping on the drag.
4. Enjoy being a trustafarian.
5. Make jeans more vintage somehow.
6. Have Obama forcefed down your throat.
7. Participate in a protest against the eating of helpless fish.
8. Sip tea.
9. Listen to little known band on ipod.
10. Set governor's mansion ablaze.
11. Set something else ablaze.
12. Swim with a fat naked hippy chick.
13. Wear those emo glasses.
14. Play bongos naked with Matthew Mccaughnehey and fat naked hippy chick.
15. Operate under the assumption that a 10 speed is acceptable to tailgate with.

you forgot, wake up at 9 to go to tailgate, get shit faced enough where you either walk home and miss game, or you go to game hammered and proceed to be the great fan that Tech in known for
Tech Fan:
1. Call hippie friend in Austin and tell him to bring 5 pounds of his best dank to last through remaining semester.
2. Order massive amounts of calf BALLS.
3. Make sure you have tortillas to throw at the game, eventhough it makes no sense.
UT Fans:
1. Stop by neighbor's house and buy 5 lbs of dank for Tech friend.
2. Smoke an ounce of it with friends on your way to Lubbock and refer to it as "finder's fee".
3. Get so baked that you forget to exit HW 84 and end up in El Paso.
Good stuff BEAR.
Can you make a TCU vs. UNLV pne as well? Circa 2 years ago?
For one the throwing of tortillas was banned at the end of our freshmen or sophmore year
And there are a couple stories to how this started, some would link it to our spanish hertiage...we were the matadors from 25-36...and there is some tradition with that
you froggy fun-boys would prob like this one better....in 92 when tech played a&m...so ESPN announcers made the comment that the only thing in Lubbock was Tech Football and a tortilla factory...so in protest the fans threw tortillas on the field...the tortilla throwing frenzy hit its height at the 95 cotton bowl...this tradition stopped in 2001 bc of people like you
Heres one for TCU
1. Bring you hope of competing with the big boys for at least two years in a row
2. Dont forget your hope of changing to a better confrence soon
3. Also, bring that LT jersey, either pro or college will do
4. Dont forget your "Jager Bomb" attitude
5. Hope its a home game so youll dont have to leave the bubble
6. Lots of purple, and dont forget to work out your index finger and middle finger..to frog em
7. Get a couple friends to go who arent TCU students or alumni bc you can never find enough TCU fans
I'll put money on Texas if there are any takers out there?
Here is some things you UT fans forgot:
1. Bring your over-inflated image of self worth...and a bag to bring it home in
2. Frisbe, for Disc golf or ultimate, or mayne just to throw at tailgate
3. Get that hacky sack too, then you could really impress us with stuff your good at that doesnt mean shit
4. Trail Mix, whatever you do dont forget, you will need for ride up, tail gate, game, and ride home
5. Bring some sad/depressing music for your ride home
6. Pick up that copy of Texas Football that had Leech, Graham and Crabtree on the cover
7. Maybe Mac Brown should pull a mike leech and recurit some safetys from the stand, bc the way we throw, your going to need them
8. Dont forget your non-conforming attitude,
9. For clothes anything, all black, ugly orange, or from the thrift store will do
10. Leave you hopes of a national championship and heisman trophy at home, no reason to bring along excess stuff
11. Bring your chick that doesnt shave her bush, and has that oh so lovely hippie/liberal/granola/femenist attitude
12. A pack of condoms, just in case you get a Tech girl, bc you know that will keep on giving
13. Dont forget to bring up some weird ass music and tell us how its the latest in music and how cooool it is
14. Get one of those cool uniforms the band wears....out of all the schools, youll have chicks that wear chaps (which is very sexy), but yet your band (as good as they may sound) looks like the band from madision, who picks those outfits, was that you gregalo
