It's the choice everyone has been talking about.
Since Feb. 14th, when next season's Big 12 football schedule was announced, students have had a dire new decision looming over their heads...attend TX/OU weekend, an 83-year-old tradition between the rival universities, or attend ACL, the largest concert weekend in Austin.
For me, the choice is a no-brainer: Rid River Shootout it is. There's just simply no way I could miss it. I'm an avid Longhorn football fan and hate that Godforsaken land north of the Texas boarder. Oklahoma, I hear it's called?
However, for other UT students the choice may not come so easy. Austin City Limits is obviously one of the largest events in the city. To give you a little perspective, last year it generated nearly $73 million in visitor spending. I mean, where else can you hear the vast array of talented artists all in one weekend? So for music lovers, and partiers alike, the choice could get pretty tricky.
However, putting my critical thinking skills to use, I feel as if there's one underlying theme in both of these weekends: getting hammered. You know it's true.
Therefore, here is your 2012 TX/OU/ACL weekend plan...you're welcome.
Paint those coolers, pack your bags and hop on that bus to good ol' Dallas, Texas. Thanks to the nice 3G coverage area conveniently lining I-35, stream the live ACL acts strait to your mobile device while you sip on your beverage of choice. What did people ever do without internet?
Not only will you be getting shwasted in the comfort of a climate controlled bus, by streaming the concerts you get front-row viewing capabilities while on the way to one of the best rivalries on earth.
Now that's what I call killing two birds with one stone.
