SEC mistakenly plays 'Aggie War Hymn' introducing Texas' Steve Sarkisian at Media Days
The SEC has been playing the corresponding fight song when coaches have walked onto the stage at SEC media days. But instead of playing "Texas Fight," the SEC played the fight song of the Longhorns biggest rival.
Presumably, whoever was in charge of playing the music inside the room at the Omni Centennial Park Atlanta Hotel saw the word "Texas" and played the wrong one. But it is a really bad gaffe that shouldn't happen when introducing the biggest team in the biggest conference.
To Sark's credit, he didn't acknowledge the blunder as he walked on stage and stood in front of the podium. Sark just went on with his opening statements, which started with discussing the tragic Central Texas flooding.
Obviously, the embarrassing error went viral on social media immediately.
Thankfully, the "music guy" played "Texas Fight" at the end of Sark's presentation.

More than 1,000 kids receive free school supplies and resources at Back2School Fest
More than a thousand children will start the school year on the right foot after receiving free school supplies and resources at the Back2School Fest on Saturday at The Potter's House Fort Worth. Many parents may find it hard to believe the school year is right around the corner, but the back-to-school festival helped them get ready with all kinds of resources for the entire family. Students of all grades and their parents got a head start on the school year at the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office and The Potter's House Fort Worth's festival. "We want to be a part of this because they want to be a part of their fabric of their life, to demonstrate to them that law enforcement officers support them, that we're cheerleaders for their success, and we want them to see that today as they go through this program," Tarrant County Sheriff Bill Waybourn said. Kids received a backpack full of school supplies, in addition to on-site haircuts, vision exams and immunizations to get them ready for the upcoming school year. "I don't have to worry about buying my own things, and I don't have to use any money. It's free for everybody, so I won't have to worry. There's extra resources over here too," said sixth grader Kamiah Irahezagura. The family-friendly event featured face painting, bounce houses, food trucks and more. Adults received free health screenings and learned about educational resources and after-school programs for their children. "This is a great opportunity for us as a ministry to equip and empower not only the parents but the students for a successful school year. We want to not just give them resources, not just give them a book bag and some pencils, but we want to empower them. We want to pour into their mind. We want to pour that into them, into their academic future, and into the parents," said The Potter's House Fort Worth Pastor Julio Hobaish. The Potter's House hosts events like this year-round.
