At the last home game against the Florida Gators, Longhorns fans were treated to a unique game day experience. The Rally Cry Championship Tour appeared in Austin for the SEC clash. Over the last few months, Rally Cry’s mobile gaming truck has visited colleges nationwide for fans to compete in person on EA SPORTS™ College Football 25.
In its first year, the tour has included celebrity matches and allowed fans to compete for a custom championship trophy. For many, it’s an experience unlike any other.
“The program is a national tour with an online league association,” said Rally Cry CEO Adam Rosen. “We go to amazing matchups across the country. We are stationed right in the middle of tailgating right outside of the stadiums, hosting a featured matchup of the week.”
Prior to its stop in Austin, the tour also appeared at Hard Rock Stadium, Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium, and the Duke’s Mayo Classic at Bank of America Stadium. Over the last few months, Rosen has seen various tailgating experiences and what makes college football unique.
“It’s been incredible in short,” said Rosen. “I think a lot of the tradition and fanfare around college football makes it the best sport in the world. It’s something that we respect and think we are adding a little more to the experience as well. It’s been cool to see that every campus is completely different.”

On Saturday, Rosen and his teammate saw what game day at Austin looks like. As the Longhorns rolled to another win, the atmosphere did not disappoint.
“It was really cool to be on Bevo Boulevard where the band enters, where Bevo enters, it’s just stepped in tradition,” said Rosen. “We really like that we were able to immerse ourselves in it and hopefully add to that tradition for future years.”
The afternoon featured matchups between Longhorns legends and well-known media members. That list includes former Longhorns Rod Babers and Fozzy Whittaker. On Texas Football Analyst CJ Vogel also made an appearance.
In December, the top four players will battle it out in front of thousands to determine a champion.
