Forty Acres Insider: Sept. 10

Greetings Longhorn Nation,

They came, they saw and they were impressed. Thanks to our friends and partners at ABC, ESPN and Longhorn Network, the eyes of the nation were locked on Austin last Saturday. And because of all of you -- the greatest students and fans in America -- it was awesome!

When we arrived at the ESPN College GameDay set at 5 a.m. with 500 donuts and 500 breakfast tacos, there were already a few thousand of you waiting for us. That Longhorns passion and spirit was shared far and wide and, of course, The Minister of Culture Matthew McConaughey stole the show with his grand GameDay entrance in a vintage, burnt orange Lincoln with "Slow Ride" blasting from the speakers.
