Some of the Best Austin Bars to Watch NFL & College Football Games

Look, I was raised Red Raider, but I’ve been in Austin long enough to become completely comfortable rooting for the Longhorns. That said, I’ll never be caught wearing burnt orange or throwing a Hook ‘Em Horns sign (so metal).

Quickly recapping the obvious details: Iowa State shut out the Texas Longhorns this past weekend, in a convincing 24-0 victory - the largest shutout loss since 1976. “Convincing,” however, doesn’t only apply to devastating loss. It also applies to those convinced coach Charlie Strong has already worn out his welcome.
