I seemed to recall hearing that there will be a rally, but it will now be called a "Hook 'em Rally" (or something like that). To continue along with the DKR theme, it seems to me that it ought to be called the "Cockroach Stomp" when TCU is the opponent.

'After its success in 1941, the red candle hex was used sporadically when the Longhorns faced highly ranked opponents. The no. 1 SMU Mustangs were defeated 23-20 in 1950. The Baylor Bears, ranked third in 1953, fell 21-20. Not until 1955 did the candles prove ineffective against eighth-ranked TCU. '

There will be some sort of pep rally in place of the Hex Rally.

Mack said the hex rally will continue because it's about Texas and not A&M.
