Gage, a college student with laser focus and apparently zero midterms to worry about, has been camped out since 11 a.m. yesterday, guarding his spot like it\u2019s the last parking space at the Tech game.<\/p>\n<p>Brandi Tadlock<\/p>\n<p>Brandi Tadlock<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"574\" data-end=\"844\">His setup? Impressive. A clear tent (so everyone can witness the dedication), a small bed, and a chair positioned strategically at the front door like he\u2019s waiting to rush a concert barricade, but instead of a guitar pick, the prize is fried goodness and bragging rights.<\/p>\n<p>Brandi Tadlock<\/p>\n<p>Brandi Tadlock<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"574\" data-end=\"844\">And yes, before you ask, this isn\u2019t just about being first for the vibes. There\u2019s a rumor (and a very believable one) that the first customer through the doors could score free Whataburger for a year. While Levelland hasn\u2019t officially confirmed the exact promo, Whataburger has a <a href=\"https:\/\/stories.whataburger.com\/a-thousand-reasons-to-celebrate-whataburger-to-open-1000th-location\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">long history<\/a> of rewarding grand opening diehards with exactly that, often giving the first dine-in and drive-thru customers a year\u2019s worth of meals.<\/p>\n<p>Brandi Tadlock<\/p>\n<p>Brandi Tadlock<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"1347\">So is Gage crazy? Maybe a little.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1349\" data-end=\"1449\">But is he also potentially securing a year of Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits without spending a dime? Also yes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1462\" data-end=\"1561\">Good luck, Gage! Hope you win!
