Say what?

The cheerleaders couldn't figure it out. Why was the crowd laughing? It was the point in the game where they come out and hold up the placards that first spell out T E X A S and then they turn to the opposite stands and spell out F I G H T and we all yell accordingly. Well, we were yelling, but we were also laughing.

It's Christmas break on the UT campus and there was no basketball band at the game today. In fact, there were just barely enough cheerleaders to hold up the placards. Maybe they were cheerleader trainees – and that's why they never noticed that they were spelling out S A X E T       T H G I F.

They never did figure it out. But we won anyway.
