Wonder what kind of exciting frivolity they'll dream up for their next big home game? They've got three years to work on it so I'm sure it'll be amazing!

When he arrived back in Austin, where he'd been a graduate assistant, Herman set out to bring a blue collar to a blue blood and shed the program's country club reputation, in part, by bringing a night-club vibe. Even the water break stations are called Club H20, and all team meetings and special teams meetings kick off with players bobbing and dancing to rappers like Young Thug.
How different is this Texas operation? There's a 6 a.m. "Suns Out, Guns Out" offseason workout that includes tie-dye workout gear and machines shooting flames. Game-day traditions include obstacle courses with pillow fights and dance circles. There's staff room banter where, this week alone, Herman quoted everything from "Dude, Where's My Car" to "Silence of the Lambs" to "Game of Thrones," all in appropriate dialects.

At 9:29 a.m. on game day in the team hotel, a flurry of assistant coaches, interns and strength coaches stage an obstacle course in the hallway leading to the ballroom that serves as the team headquarters. The ritual is known as "Morning Juice," and it's the quintessential example of Herman's defiant commitment to defying uptight football norms.
There are a dozen travel-sized boxes of Frosted Flakes opened, with the cereal poured out and crushed up on the floor. Why? Well, Tony the Tiger represents LSU's Tigers.
Players enter the obstacle course with belly crawls under sheets draped over chairs. And when the players emerge, they turn hard left and sprint down a longer hallway where four strength coaches and support staff pop the players with pillows while they leap over multiple benches.
The only player exempt from the gauntlet is tailback Keaontay Ingram, who is Texas' lone scholarship tailback and began the season at that position after a rash of injuries. When Ingram approaches the obstacle course, Herman has a security guard give a mock "police escort" through the chaos. "Scholarship running back!" Herman screams.
After all 73 players run through, they gather in a conference room and the song "Still" by the Geto Boys blasts. A dance circle forms, and different players bounce through the middle. Collectively, the players scream out the song's refrain, "Die mutha----ers! Die!"
Much of the Texas staff has been with Herman since Houston, and some comment on how this feels relatively tame. The Cougars once danced in a parking lot at Disney, before a game with UCF, in front of aghast parents. In Baton Rouge for a game at Tulane, hotel officials kicked the team out of the hallways because it disturbed a quilting convention. Water guns, smoke bombs and water balloons have all been involved.
