Brilliant stuff, calling Mike Elko "Elmo.”
The intellectual, toddler nickname firepower pouring out of Austin these days is the height of Longhorn wit.

It’s wild.
OU is still playing in the playoffs as well, yet … crickets about the Sooners from you.
Enjoy the view from outside the bracket.

Guilty.
Every now and then, info like downs, yardage, penalties, promotions/sponsorships, player names, timeouts, recognitions, upcoming events, etc. are shared over the PA system.

It's wild that you immediately think of five young men leading a crowd of 105,000+.
I rarely (never?) give a single passing thought to whatever passes for "tradition" over there in Austin.
Rent-free, buddy.

Check out the tea-sips, straight-up copying Texas A&M’s longstanding Parsons Mounted Cavalry tradition of the cleanup crew with a crap orange t.u. wheelbarrow.
I get the whole imitation/flattery thing, but damn, that's peak t.u. … always chasing Aggieland's traditions.

Who paid for it and why are they wasting all that money?

Under Armour, Navy's official apparel partner, designs, produces, and funds the special alternate uniforms for the Army-Navy game—including those stunning hand-painted helmets.
As part of their sponsorship deal with the Naval Academy, Under Armour covers the costs of creating these custom, one-of-a-kind pieces (which take years of collaboration and planning). This is standard for service academy alternate uniforms: Under Armour handles Navy's, while Nike does the same for Army. The academies themselves don't pay out-of-pocket for these; it's baked into the apparel contracts, which also include standard gear and branding benefits.

That’s 4 hours of hand-painting.
Per helmet.
They’re completely customized, one-of-a-kind masterpieces.
Truly bespoke works of art.

The U.S. Naval Academy’s uniform for Saturday’s Army-Navy game pay homage to the U.S. Navy’s original six frigates from the service’s 250-year history.
The Under Armour-made football jerseys and helmets include elements that honor the USS Chesapeake, USS Congress, USS Constellation, USS President, USS United States and USS Constitution, the only remaining frigate of them all and the world’s oldest commissioned warship still afloat.
The font for the jersey’s wordmark and numbers are inspired by the “Act to Provide Naval Armament” document that authorized the invention of the first fleet.
The Navy’s original frigates are also represented through six ropes woven into the sleeves and collars of the uniform, with 250 knots that embody the service’s anniversary.
The Under Armour logo on the uniform is also adorned with copper, a nod to the chemical element that was pivotal in the construction of the six frigates, which were draped in copper to protect the wooden hulls from marine damage.
The stone-colored pants of the this year’s uniform recall the uniform of sailors during the time of the original frigates and are emblazoned with six ropes for the six frigates and 126 knots for the 126th Army-Navy game.
The copper-colored helmet is intricately detailed with a sketch of the USS Constitution on one side and “USN” on the other side.
Splitting the helmet down the middle is a wooden plank displaying six ropes with 126 knots, again in commemoration of the 126th Army-Navy game.

It’s not right that the horns never travel to Norman.
Going to ATX isn’t typically as daunting, but the premise stands.

We’re actually headed back to two destinations next season where we played this season.
At LSU and at Mizzou.
Kinda wild.
Both, however, are far better than back-to-back trips to the Soy-latte Sodom a few miles west of CSTX.

I wish. We have back to back bye weeks which I'm not sure has ever happened before.
Back-to-back bye weeks for Mizzou has to be a scheduling fail by the SEC.
Zero chance that was intentional.
If I’m Missouri’s AD, I'd be raising holy hell and demanding a fix before the ink even dries on those schedules.
ETA: A poster above says he doesn’t see back to back bye weeks on the Mizzou schedule. I haven’t checked either way, but it seems extremely far-fetched.
