Weekend Forecast
We have a chance of a few showers expected to roll back in Saturday evening, heading into Sunday as tropical moisture from the Eastern Pacific starts to make its way into Texas. This will take our temperatures down from 92° with spotty showers, to heavier showers on Sunday with a high of 89°
Longhorn City Limits
The game may take place on Saturday at 11 a.m., but the morning is going to be a party. Longhorn City Limits is kicking off this Saturday at 8:30 a.m. on the LBJ Lawn with multiple acts performing. Y’all Out Boy will get things going first, and Cory Morrow will perform after the game finishes. There will be plenty to do, including Tito’s Tailgate, plenty of BBQ, and more. Show up, support the Longhorns, and have fun!
Longhorns vs. San Jose State
The Longhorns may have taken the L on the first game, but they are coming home to play their first game at DKR Memorial Stadium for the season. Arch and the team are taking on San Jose State University in front of the burnt orange and white crowd. Kick off is at 11 a.m. with tickets only on resell, but there are plenty of places around town that will have the game on the big screen. The Longhorns have dropped to #7 while San Jose isn’t in the Top 25. So will the Longhorns leave fans with a happy homecoming? Let’s find out!
