Chappell Roan and Texas football receive subtle shout-out from Blink-182 at final Austin show

Everyone’s a fan of Chappell Roan — even Blink-182.

The iconic pop-punk band honored the “Midwest Princess” in their most recent performance at Austin City Limits Music Festival on Friday, Oct. 11.

How, you might ask? By mashing up her fan-favorite song “Pink Pony Club” with their 1997 banger that is “Dammit” at ACL Festival.

Not only that, but the band also uttered a few pointed words at the Oklahoma Sooners ahead of the Red River Rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma.

Though Blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus didn’t explicitly say “OU sucks” — Texas Longhorns’ favorite thing to say about the Sooners — he did speak poorly of them to the Austin crowd after singing a few lines from “Deep In The Heart Of Texas,” and attendees responded with resounding applause.

The band quite literally proved they are never growing up throughout their set thanks to the back-and-forth banter between Mark Hoppus and guitarist Tom DeLonge throughout the show. You know, the shit-talking you’d expect from bandmates who have been working together (aside from when they went their separate ways to create distinct bands like Angels & Airwaves and +44) since 1992.

The band’s performance at ACL was their last in North America, and what better way to close this chapter than mashing up “Pink Pony Club” ahead of Chappell Roan’s second ACL set on Sunday, Oct. 13.
