The UT Varsity Rewards Program: Get Hook’ed up
The University of Texas Athletics Department is proud to announce the UT Varsity Rewards program. This program is designed for the most passionate Longhorns fans -- UT students! We want to recognize the true Student Orange Bloods (SOBs) by offering rewards to the fans that attend 2008-2009 Texas Men's and Women's Basketball games. The rewards improve as members earn more points. So prove your dedication and reap the benefits of the new UT Varsity Rewards program.
Stampede members are automatically enrolled in the UT Varsity Rewards program for the 2008-09 Texas Basketball season.
If you don't have a Stampede Pass, you still have a chance to earn points and rewards. The 200 Longhorn All-Sports Package holders (LASP) who attend the most Texas Basketball games in the fall will be awarded a FREE Stampede membership AND will be enrolled in the UT Varsity Rewards program for the remainder of the 2008-09 Texas Basketball season.* Not only will you receive a free membership, you'll automatically get the rewards you earned by attending games in the fall!
*LASP holders must have attended a minimum of five Men's or Women's Basketball games or a combination of both to be eligible for the Stampede upgrade and UT Varsity Rewards program enrollment.
To view the UT Varsity Rewards prize list and other information, visit the UT Varsity Rewards web page on TexasSports.com. |

STAMPEDE presented by Mighty Fine Burgers Fries & Shakes
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is Stampede?
Stampede is a membership group that exists to support men's and women's basketball. Stampede members already have the Longhorn All-Sports Package (LASP). Stampede members join by paying a very nominal additional cost on top of their already-paid for LASP for Stampede benefits. The #1 benefit is easy access on game day to the Frank Erwin Center and first dibs on the best seats (lower level) in the O-Zone student sections at the Frank Erwin Center.
Why did Stampede form?
The universities with the best men's and women's basketball attendance have similar spirit groups. That includes groups associated with our big rivals in the Big 12 Conference (Kansas, Iowa State, Missouri) where demand for student basketball tickets and seats is very high.
How do I join Stampede?
The LASP opens the door to membership in Stampede. Once you have obtained the LASP, you may go online at TexasBoxOffice.com to register for Stampede. If you do not have the LASP, you may purchase one online during class registration, anytime on TexasBoxOffice.com, or at the Bellmont Hall Ticket Office.
Do seniors have priority over freshmen in seating/membership?
No. The Stampede is filled on a first-come, first serve basis.
Will the O-Zone go away?
No! The O-Zone is all the student seating in the Frank Erwin Center. Stampede is the spirit group that is gathered in a special section of the arena O-Zone seats. O-Zone seats are plentiful and should take care of all interested students for men's and women's basketball games. But the best O-Zone seats go to Stampede members. |

"Rock the Drum" lyrics and credits [Listen to "Rock the Drum"]
We're gonna run the floor tonight
Pass the rock around
Fly to the hoop
And jam the thunder down
When we beat the clock, hit the winning shot
From way-ay downtown
This Longhorn crowd will raise the roof
With that Austin, Texas sound
We've got the Up-Tempo scene
Love that hard-court fun
This is our Texas team
Let's rock the drum!
We'll be cheerin', and singin'
From the O-Zone seats to the Mez-zanine
This is our Texas team
Let's rock the drum!
