Texas DeMarvion Overshown Is the King of Armbands

Viewers tuning into the Valero Alamo Bowl Tuesday night night could not help but notice that Texas Longhorns linebacker DeMarvion Overshown was sporting an unusual number of armbands. Couples who have long passed the point of having anything to say to each other may have had one party ask if it was just him or did that guy have more than the minimum required pieces of flair on, only to be shot down with a one-word reply. And maybe that guy feels a certain sense of vindication this afternoon after Overshown himself addressed his viral turn.

The Alamodome is gearing up to host several thousand people during the Valero Alamo Bowl Tuesday night amid increasing COVID-19 cases in Bexar County.
The match-up will pit the University of Texas against the University of Colorado in the annual bowl game sponsored by San Antonio-based Valero Energy Corporation. But this year the normally 65,000 capacity Alamodome - which is owned by the city - will be reduced to a max occupancy of 11,000 attendees. The game will take place on the same day businesses in Bexar County are forced to roll back to 50% occupancy under emergency orders from Governor Greg Abbott.
