Jesus Avendano - Straw Hat Vaquero

Jesus brings the kind of energy that helps turn games into experiences. In this episode, we talk about the traditions that have grown around UTRGV Athletics, the importance of creating a real game-day culture, and how passionate fans can help shape the identity of a young and growing athletic program. We also get into one idea we can definitely get behind: the Saddle Up Kick-Off Chant. Jesus is trying to help start a new tradition tied to Saddle Up, and G and Matt are all in.

Whether it catches on in the stands, at tailgates, or across social media, the goal is simple: give Vaquero fans one more way to come together, get loud, and make UTRGV game days even more memorable.

The conversation is fun, passionate, and centered on what college sports should feel like: community, identity, pride, and traditions that get passed from one group of fans to the next.If you love UTRGV, Vaquero Athletics, tailgating, game-day traditions, or just being part of the energy around the Valley, this one is for you.
