Walking into the game we were greeted by guys decked out from head to toe in Longhorns gear tailgating in the parking lot. I wanted to ask them if they knew which teams were playing, but I figured it would be lost on them.
Yep, some folks live in the local area and just show up no matter who is playing. I'd bet some never even make it into the stadium. It's all about the tailgating (been to some Annapolis games like that). Just like this guy who probably didn't have anything better to do...
