I got ropped to a trip to Austin for a weekend with some college buddies. I thought about a UT game but they play UTEP at 6:30. What are the best bars/restraints/activities to see while we are in town? We get in Friday morning leave Sunday morning.

Depends on your age for bar scene. Young ut girls will be west sixth. Try rio, dogwood, concrete cowboy, the ranch, brew exchange, star bar.
Lots of great food if staying downtown. Lamberts bbq will have shortest wait. Terry blacks on Barton springs same thing. Mexican food is all over. Chuys on Barton springs if you are gringo you will like.
Outdoor activities Barton springs pool, greenbelt try sculpture falls on 360, less crowded than the place at mopac and 360.
Strip clubs palazio, yellow rose, expose in that order.
South congress has food but long waits. Hopdoddy burger, home slice pizza, gueros Mexican
Rainy street is ok but is always stupid crowded. Bangers, icenhowers.
Hipsters fricks east of 35. Violet crown, white horse if you like well whiskey and cigarettes.

rent a Prius, eat at one of the vegan buffets, knock back a few martinis at a gay bar, join in a protest down town

We just got back from Austin. I have to say one of the coolest places I've ever been. Rainey was cool, and 6th is awesome. Would highly recommend the trip to someone that has never been. No lie, there is sign as you roll in that says "Let's get weird" and they backed it up.
