BEVO BEAT Football
Social reaction: Texas fans commiserate after close win over Tulsa, look ahead to USC
Posted September 8th, 2018
Texas just got its first win of the season, but the Longhorns didn’t exactly impress their loyal fans.
After a 28-21 victory over Tulsa in the home opener, fans left Royal-Memorial stadium with a mixture of feeling relief and frustration. But they still had a good time.
In addition to the pregame tailgates, Longhorns fans had a new tradition to check out in Bevo Boulevard — complete with a street parade, live music and autograph sessions. Check out all the sights and sounds of Longhorn game days, brought to you by … you.
Relive the evening in reverse, all the way back to pregame, through the social media feeds of the burnt orange faithful who filled the stands. (And make sure to check out the Longhorn Band tribute to Selena.)

Well, that’s a win, I guess. Go Horns. Yay. I don’t know what to do with my hands. #hookem

I’m glad Texas won, but they struggled against Tulsa… I can’t imagine what’s going to happen when they play USC, Kansas State, OU, Baylor, OSU, WVU, Tech, Iowa State, or even Kansas. Lord help this team; it’s going to be a long season. pic.twitter.com/A5fEmNXjxZ

That crap ain’t Texas football, not the kind we used to see in early 2000s. pic.twitter.com/cIAtoDsONG

Well, we’ll take the win. #HookEm

Texas just put together a very good drive to possible put away this Tulsa team. 28-14, Texas. 6:25 left. #HookEm pic.twitter.com/7H8HLx5Xgh

Boy, that drive was sorely needed. Still, can’t relax. #HookEm

OK, now it's a touchdown Tulsa. Brooks punches it in from the 1 after replay denied the Hurricane on the previous play. Texas 21-14. Now how bad does those missed FGs look?

The #Longhorns fans that are leaving right now piss me off. These kids need all the support they can get.

They just fired the cannon after Texas kept Tulsa out of the end zone on 3rd & Goal. I think they thought the kicker was coming out.
The Golden Hurricane went for it on 4th & Goal and didn’t get it. The cannon just went off again.

Bruh. The Longhorn Band got a "latin-inspired" halftime show and they got Selena on the jumbotron. This is a monumental day for Tejanos & Mexicans worldwide. #HookEm pic.twitter.com/ID7JVZVczF

Ingram with the nice cut and run to the end zone. Longhorns up 14-0. Texas fans: you may now switch from nervous drinking to cautiously optimistic drinking. #hookem
