Texas football has urine color charts in bathroom to encourage hydration
More and more we’re seeing sports teams emphasizing hydration among its players, and they’re all using creative methods for spreading those messages. The Texas Longhorns are even making it a personal matter.
Orange Bloods reporter Anwar Richardson went to the restroom at the athletic center on the Texas campus Tuesday and shared this photo he encountered:

You got that? If your urine isn’t the proper color, then you are a selfish player!
New coach Tom Herman was extremely successful at Houston, so we’re not about to question him if this is part of his formula for success, which it sounds like it is.

"being hydrated here isn't something silly because it is serious for injury prevention."

Between this and what we saw from the Giants, it’s clear teams are taking their hydration very seriously.
