After all, the options for greatest gameday tradition are endless. One might favor Rice&#8217;s satirical marching band (The MOB) or, perhaps, 100,000 people singing about sawing their ancient rival&#8217;s horns off while swaying or, maybe, tailgating on a river before forming a Line.<\/p>\n<p>Let us know your favorite:<\/p>\n<p>Could it be the arrival of The Masked Rider? Or maybe it&#8217;s the arrival of a four-legged hero of\u00a0gameday, whether that&#8217;s a charging\u00a0Shetland pony named after a popular &#8220;medicine&#8221; of yesteryear, a caped American Rough Collie who serves as First Lady of Aggieland or a mighty Texas Longhorn steer who just had an AI-driven research lab named in this honor.<\/p>\n<p>Each week this season, we\u2019ll seek your hot sports opinions on a question pertaining to college football in Texas.
