Texas AD Chris Del Conte Says He Won’t Shave Until Longhorn Football Is Back

Texas AD @_delconte tells me he still believes there's going to be a football season and insists he will not shave until the next Longhorn competition. "I'm going to keep going." What if beard reaches the floor? "Then we’re in trouble." Said his wife hates the beard.

Love this move. A lot of AD’s across the country lately have been putting out statements regarding their intention for football to resume at their University come fall:

"Texas A&M intends to reopen its 11 university campuses for the fall semester and be ready for football.” 🙏https://t.co/rnjmWWNf8o

But none of these AD’s are willing to put their money where their mouth is. Not the case with the University of Texas. Too much pride on the line. And luckily for Chris, his beard is fucking solid:

Some people are even saying he could have a second career as George Clooney’s body double:

Hard to disagree with that take either.

However, I do have one concern with the “no cut till football” promise. And that is Longhorn nation does not have the best luck when it comes to making promises with our hair:
