Yeah it's sad. I lived in Round Rock and later in Liberty Hill for 10+ years and watched Austin go to crap. I used to go downtown with my kids, and even had season tickets to Longhorns football for me and my oldest daughter. First year I got them was the magical 2005 Championship year with Vince Young, and my kid was 9. We went to every game as a father/daughter bonding thing until she went to college and I dumped my tickets. That girl could eat some nachos... After the games she would go down through the seats below collecting any of the freebies or anything people left (I ate Chik-Fil-A sandwiches for a month straight after that giveaway) and found things like autographed pictures. She was fun to watch, and I skipped the bad exit traffic.

As for the colors - [R]epublican = [R]ed.
