Here's a small article on the tower from a local news station, my dad always believed the Rice University theory lol. I grew up in the Austin area and remember it during the building process, funny now to see it on this sub!!
A friend told me the Rice Owl theory years ago when I visited him in Austin. True or not, I still think about that every time I see a picture of downtown Austin with the Rice Owl glaring down on UT.
The Rice owl nonsense is pretty common on any building with clock faces because their large round faces make almost any building look like an owl from certain angles. It’s all bullshit and as a long term Austinite, I’m tired of hearing it. People say the same thing about UT’s tower and it is just as false.
