Fall in Texas means cooler nights, pumpkin spice, and—most importantly—football season. In Austin, college football isn’t just a game; it’s a way of life. The city buzzes with burnt orange pride, tailgates, and community traditions that bring people together every autumn weekend. For locals and newcomers alike, Austin’s fall football culture adds another layer to the lifestyle that makes this city so dynamic.
THE RED RIVER SHOOTOUT: TEXAS VS. OKLAHOMA
Every October, the Red River Shootout electrifies the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Since 1900, the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners have battled it out in one of college football’s most storied rivalries. Fans flock to the State Fair of Texas, enjoying fried food, carnival rides, and unforgettable football memories. This event is more than a game—it’s a Texas tradition that unites generations of alumni, students, and families.
THE LONE STAR SHOWDOWN: TEXAS VS. TEXAS A&M
After more than a decade away, the Texas vs. Texas A&M rivalry is back on the schedule. First played in 1894, this Thanksgiving weekend clash has long been one of the most beloved college football matchups. On November 28th, the Aggies return to Austin, reigniting a tradition filled with pride, passion, and state bragging rights.
