THE TAILGATE: A Graphical Preview of Texas A&M vs. North Carolina in the Capital One Orange Bowl

"I'll be down in a minute, Sally!" Mack Brown yells as he slips into his bathroom, locks the door, and removes the painting on the far wall to reveal a keypad. He punches numbers unseen, but whose tone lets out the first 9 notes of "The Eyes of Texas." The wall spins 90 degrees to revel a Zelda-esque secret room with two lit lanterns adorning the far wall. A single alter sits in the center of the room across from a small kneeling bench. As Coach Brown approaches, the wall spins shut to conceal the ceremony.

Coach Brown kneels at the alter and from his pocket he retrieves a blade and a tiny pair of longhorns.
