On April 4, Time Warner Cable sponsored fan fest, a free event for fans, in coordination with the official Longhorn football program’s Orange and White scrimmage, according to press release from the official Texas football program website
Fan fest was held in the Darrell-Memorial Stadium and included an inflatable superslide, moonwalk, carnival games, fan giveaways, and silent auctions for Longhorns memorabilia.
The fans that arrived early to the event were lucky and saw the Longhorn football team enter the stadium!
The much anticipated Orange and White scrimmage began at 4 p.m.
According to the Austin American Statesman, there were two award presentations during the scrimmage. Coach Mack Brown and Colt McCoy were presented the 2009 Big Twelve Championship Trophy and Earl Thomas was recognized as the 2009 Defensive Back Trophy recipient.
I think that the free scrimmage and fan fest is great way for the Texas football program to show gratitude to their loyal fans and generate publicity for the upcoming 2010 season.
I believe that the media and college football fans are interested in Texas’ new quarterback Garrett Gilbert and if he will be able to fill Colt McCoy’s golden cleats. The scrimmage is a great way for the Texas football program to give the public a preview for next season and generate a continual buzz that will last until the 2010 season officially begins this fall.
