Texas' intro music for home football games

That would be BAD ASS!! Although there is something to be said for all the lights going off and the bells starting to hit, the connection of having one of our own playing the intro for the team just feels right.
This. This needs to be the intro. It’s less main stream and we could ‘own it’… not sure anyone else has this intro and it’s perfect. Listen to the words
Along these lines what do you guys think about switching up the uniforms for a game? The long time traditional powers are starting to do it even Notre Dame.
Say wearing orange pants at Michigan?

Hard NO! Classic cool never ages and doesn’t need gimmicks.
I can’t picture orange pants in my mind, well, in a way that would look good. But, I am not against having some kind of “alt”. I have yet to see anything that would be worth doing. As long as we don’t do something just for the sake of doing it. Oregon does a great job on the “alts”. ASU’s alts look good as well. Not many others catch my eye. Blowu’s aren’t horrible for being ou
Let me let you know......
Back in the 90s-- there was a literal BEG session involving some players- Coach Mackoprick and DeLoss.
The ask was "can we wear special orange pants for the LAST SWC season or the FIRST Big 12 season".
Just once. One game. White top. Orange top. Didn't matter.
I did think the orange on orange would look dope as fvck....
Anyway-
DeLoss basically said "no fvcking way in hell".
"Allegedly" he ran it up the flagpole with the super powers that be-- knowing already what answer he was going to get- and as far as I know it was such a stern response that the subject has never been broached again.
By anybody.
Now that it is almost 30 years later and so many teams are doing it, I can see where it is a possibility. Especially, if Sark begins to push for it. I still can't see orange pants looking good. I saw a long time ago a "whitish-light silverish" helmet with the same burnt orange longhorn. I thought it looked pretty awesome. I couldn't find a pic to attach to this thread

I found these. Pretty damn awesome. 
THAT’S what I’m talking about!! The experts agree.
This was previously discussed topic. I’m tired of hells bells as well. I put “Kick start your heart” intro as my suggestion.
is there a way to fuse to songs together. I have always thought that the very beginning of Dr Feelgood would be a very good sound that lets everybody in the stadium know that the Texas Longhorns are in the tunnel and ready to take the field. Unfortunately, the rif that follows is okay, but not good enough, imo, to run onto the field. Listen to the first 30 seconds
Kickstart my Heart would definitely be bad ass but I still go with the SRV version of Voodoo Child. He cut his teeth on 6th Street so he’s one of our own.
Stevie version of voodoo child is good, but nothing like the original maker of the song Jimi making that guitar scream and weep.
While I would agree with you from a pure instrumental perspective, I still say Stevie’s version fits due to his Austin connection.
Well its almost the same as Jimi with along the watch tower originally a Bob Dylan song.
Yep. But Jimi made “All along the watchtower” unforgettable. Dylan’s version was just another hippy song. Hendrix blew it up. I’m not saying SRV did that to Voodoo Child by any means. I’m just saying his twist of Texas blues put a different spin on it. He didn’t try to be Hendrix. He basically said, this is my version. F$&k you if you don’t like it.
Love me some SRV blaring his version of Voodoo Child. Great intro to set the tone for the home crowd.
I’ve also been a huge fan of The Who and Join Together was our intro song for HS basketball games back in the’80s and damn it would light us up!!!
