Hook 'em Horns!

I have just returned from a wonderfully entertaining weekend in Austin, the capital of Texas. One of the (many) highlights included a trip to see the University of Texas Longhorns play (American) football. As much as I do try to understand the rules however, I was almost more entertained by the marching band. Or I should say two marching bands. They were very adept at arranging themselves into gigantic letters. Here they are in the shape of the University of Texas logo:

You'll also notice a central theme of the match is burnt orange. So here is me as the proud new owner of a very orange T-shirt:

Good to see that Big Bertha, possibly the world's largest formerly radioactive drum, is in the photo!

I wanted to tag that with {{citation needed}}, but I know I shouldn't.

Do you have a full UT outfit yet, Henry? I'm imagining a burnt orange shell-suit, a cap and maybe some pompoms.

A burnt orange football shirt and maroon chaps would complete the picture. They tell you all about Big Bertha here, of course.
