Sportscaster Vic Jacobs introduced the "Brick" in Austin. It was a foam brick that he would periodically throw at the camera whenever he was outraged or disagreed with with a sports figure. Vic would yell "You see the brick? You got the brick!"
Vic signed off his Austin broadcast segment by shaking his finger and announcing, “From the nation’s capitol!”.
When he was fired from KTVV in Austin in 1985, Jacobs cult followers from the University of Texas picketed the station. An unabashed homer, Jacobs had endeared himself to students by taking a cleaver to a hog carcass in a meat locker the night before the 1982 football game between the Longhorns and the Arkansas Razorbacks. They also appreciated his in-studio Q&A with Bevo, the 2,000-pound Longhorn mascot.
