This has not been my experience, but we hang out with them at games of importance. Not rent a wins in College Station.
You’re 0-2 your last two trips to college station and what game of importance have you ever hung out with Longhorn fans?

Holy cow, when did you become so insufferable?
If you don’t have the chops for this, maybe you should take a cig break.

I am copying from different sources as I don’t feel like typing it all out.. so here are some..
Lighting the Tower
The Tower is the most famous building on the University of Texas campus, and one of the signature structures in Austin. It provides a picturesque background at anytime of day, but ever since it happened for first time in 1937, the local landmark has become known for its burnt orange lighting. After a Longhorn football victory, the shaft stays white while the top is lit orange. But after a Big 12 conference championship or national title in any sport, the entire tower gets lit orange while room lights form the the number one on the south side of the building.
After a win..
After A Championship..
Related, but not a Tradition
On August 1, 1966, after stabbing his mother and his wife to death the night before, Charles Whitman, a former Marine, took rifles and other weapons to the observation deck atop the Main Building tower at the University of Texas at Austin, then opened fire indiscriminately on people on the surrounding campus and streets. Over the next 96 minutes he shot and killed 15 people, including an unborn child and one final victim who died from his injuries in 2001. Whitman also injured 31 others.
Univerity of Texas Tower Shooting
No Dogpile
One of the lesser known Texas traditions, or lack thereof, comes compliments of the Texas baseball team. College baseball is famous for it's dogpiles, as many teams celebrate after each of their wins en route to the College World Series. But the Longhorns have become famous for their lack of celebration, as the squad doesn't dogpile until they get to Omaha, and only do so once they've won a national championship.
I’ll post more later..

They have a game called "Who's in My Mouth?" It's played between two guys in a dark room.
