Forty Acres Insider: September 3

Longhorn Nation,

Here's hoping everyone had an awesome Labor Day weekend, as our Longhorns were certainly busy putting in the work and their best Texas Fight. What an incredible day Saturday was on the Forty Acres and WOW did y'all show up and show out to kickoff the football season in sensational style. Y'all CAME EARLY, WERE LOUD, STAYED LATE and painted the ATX in Burnt Orange & White! The energy around the stadium was at full force, and with 100,000 of you holding your Horns High in the stands, it was electric from pregame, to kickoff, to The Eyes, and Coach Sark and the squad delivered on the field with our first season-opening shutout in 21 years (since 2004).
