Go Horns! (You knew another post was coming...)

"Tower lights mark victory at Rose Bowl":

"The Tower at The University of Texas at Austin will be lighted entirely orange with the #1 displayed tonight (Thursday, Jan. 5) to celebrate the Texas Longhorns’ national championship victory at the 92nd Rose Bowl game in Pasadena, Calif."

"The Tower will remain lighted orange with the #1 displayed throughout the weekend."

Of course, even though the #1 didn't go up after the game, that didn't stop thousands of people (including me) from going to campus to celebrate. The tower was lit orange (as seen below) but the lighting of the #1 won't happen until the team returns to Austin today.

Fans filled the square, the commons, and the drag (which was closed to foot-traffic.)

Flickr has a number of pictures already.
