Texas Longhorns

Congratulations to the Nebraska Cornhuskers for a great game. Congratulations to the Longhorns football team. This is our 3rd Big 12 Championship and our 28th league title. It has been a fun ride and we’ve still got tokens for the final Tilt-a- whirl. My mood was like most Longhorns on Saturday – exultant from a thrilling victory while I was plagued with the stomach-churning ulcerous reminder that this football team is only being coached...  

Rarely does the University of Texas find itself in a position where they are expected to lose. Just the idea of not being favored in a game is a bit awkward, even insulting to the most chauvinistic of Orangebloods. Nonetheless, when Texas plays Alabama for the BCS National Championship, they will take on the unfamiliar role of the underdog. How Texas will respond to this role remains to be seen, but growing up a Texan and being acclimatized to...  

The evolution of the 2009-2010 basketball team started in earnest last night with an explosive offensive win against a decent Long Beach State club. By far, this was the best offensive showing to date, but that doesn’t tell the entire story. Hell, the 107 point outburst on its face is fine, but it’s hardly the most encouraging component to the performance. It’s how the Horns topped the century mark that’s important. Teams can press their way...  

Yesterday, we started a little game of "What If?" and the responses have been pouring in. With the help of our family of networks, we are looking at who would become the undisputed BCS National Champions if the BCS invoked an eight-team playoff system this season. We started with top-ranked Alabama, the SEC Champions, facing eighth-ranked Ohio State, the Big Ten Champions. Today, we look at the second matchup as second-ranked and Big XII...  

Texas started the game with a personnel group of James, Pittman, Mason, Bradley, and Brown. Aside for the beastly inside presence of Dex, this group gives you three solid jump shooters, three ball handlers, and solid defensive and rebounding capability. Not optimal considering the talent we have, but solid. Rice came out in a Bill Raftery styled MAN 2 MAN !!! the first possession of the ball game, only to witness a four out Longhorn look, a...

ARLINGTON — Darn lucky.     That’s how the Texas Longhorns should feel after their Big 12 Championship Game victory over Nebraska Saturday night at Cowboys Stadium.  

Texas' Colt McCoy was named a finalist for the award on Monday, along with Stanford's Toby Gerhart, Alabama's Mark Ingram, Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh and Florida's Tim Tebow.  

In my Iowa preview , I posted that one of the keys to the game for the Horns, or at least something I’d like to see in a ballgame that was ostensibly going to be a blowout, was patience. Patience in running offense, patience against the zone, patience on defense, and patience in general as a counteraction to the slower tempo the Hawks favored. As a fan, if you had the patience to wait around for a half, you saw the benefits of patience. We...  

Just before Texas gets into the meat of its nonconference schedule, let’s talk about the top 5 or 6 teams, along with the Horns, that are vying for the number 1 spot on “Trips Right’s Way Too Early, If You’re Going to Crown Them Crown Them, National Championship Contending” list, or TRWTEIYGTCTCTNCC list for short. These are the handful of contending teams that have a decent shot to cut down the nets at the end of the year, along with Duke...

A last-second, one-point win in a low-scoring game might not have been the best sales pitch for the Texas Longhorns, but any good salesman knows that the outcome is more important than the presentation. The 13-0 Longhorns were fortunate to escape with 13-12 victory over the fearless No. 21-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Big 12 Championship game, but their body of work in 2009 should be enough to help No. 3 Texas avoid the heartbreak of...  

Right now, I can't say that I am hardly surprised with the way the outcome of the Big 12 Title game transpired.  As I said earlier in the week, the Longhorn offensive line would be allowed to strangle, wrangle, and go WWE on the Nebraska defensive line. Well, that certainly turned out to be the case. Funny though, that even being allowed the absolute immunity from holding calls that the Longhorns offensive line still got dominated by the...  

The Longhorns' Heisman hopeful Colt McCoy, a four-year starter, had one of the toughest games of his college career, finishing with three interceptions and no passing touchdowns against an inspired Cornhuskers defense.  

We've seen the conference championships play out. Alabama mopped up the floor with Florida. The Tide defense harassed Tebow, shut down the Gator running game, and forced turnovers, while the offense was nothing short of stellar. Texas...well, Texas has a pretty good defense. Maybe one of the best. But in their two toughest games of the year, their offense has just wilted. They have almost no running game; draws and the occasional sweep play do...

Given a chance for one last play, Hunter Lawrence nailed a 46-yard field goal as time expired for good, giving a roughed-up Colt McCoy and the Longhorns a 13-12 victory over...

As the title of this piece suggests, I am a fan of the USC Trojans. More specifically, I am a disappointed fan of the USC Trojans. The 2009 college football season has been one of chagrin for both myself and my fellow fans of the Men of Troy.

As such, I cozied up to my television, fat from too much holiday eats, and prepared to watch what I...  

The goal is in sight. With just one game left to play in the regular season and a date with the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Big 12 title game, the Texas Longhorns are two wins away from another trip to Pasadena. Texas has cruised through the regular season, running up an 11-0 record and swatting down any potential upset bids (Texas Tech, Oklahoma). The Longhorns boast the second highest scoring offense in the country at 42 points a game. What...

Numerous articles have been written recently about Nebraska's role in the upcoming Big XII Championship, ranging from cautious optimism to outright mockery. My, how times have changed. As a Husker fan that has lived in the Lone Star State for the past 15 years, I've had an insider's view to the metamorphoses of both programs.  When I first arrived here, Nebraska football was at the apex of its excellence. Longhorn football was hardly on anyone...  

There has been much talk about Rick Barnes' stellar 2009 recruiting class and how it may be his best class ever, even better than the 2006 class that brought Kevin Durant and D.J. Augustin to the Forty Acres. That assessment may a be a bit premature, especially considering Texas is only three games in to the season, but it can't be denied that the Longhorn freshmen are contributing early on. The third ranked Longhorns are 3-0 following three...  

It would be easy to say that Colt McCoy will be the key factor for the Longhorns to get past Texas A&M Thursday night. After all, the Aggies have one of the worst passing defenses in the country and Colt McCoy is, well, Colt McCoy.

It would also be easy to cite...

Freshman defensive back Marcus Davis has been suspended indefinitely after being arrested in Pearland (approximately 15 miles South East of Houston) early Saturday morning.  Davis was pulled over around 6:45 AM as he was driving with a flat tire.  He was then arrested for driving while intoxicated and for possession of a controlled substance. "We are very disappointed to hear about the recent allegations against Marcus Davis," Texas coach...  

I don't know exactly what the odds are of Missouri upsetting No. 3 Texas on Saturday night, but, frankly, it may not matter. If college football has taught us anything, especially recently, it's that no team is immune from getting knocked off. To wit, a top 10 team has gone down each week this season . And with the exception of the season's fifth week—when several of the big boys took a Saturday off—a team within the top 5 has suffered the...

"They whipped us", said Texas coach Mack Brown after Nebraska's defense ripped this Longhorns offensive a new one for four quarters of the Big XII Championship at the new Cowboys Stadium just outside Dallas. Led by future NFL first rounder - and possible first pick - Ndamukong Suh, Colt McCoy & Co. couldn't deal with the different looks that the Huskers 'D' gave them, and in the end, Texas' offense looked as bad as, well, Nebraska's did...  

So, we see that Cody has now been named as the FOURTH “starting” RB for the Longhorns for the tenth game of the season.  Gee, there’s a shocker, huh? Let’s recap how the season has progressed at this position thus far: Vondrell McGee was the starting RB on opening day, and held that position through the game with Wyoming.  He proceeded to rush for a nifty 70 yards and 4.7 average in game one against ULM, and followed that up with 61 yards...

With the SEC seemingly owning a spot in the BCS title game, the question is: Which team has earned a spot against Florida or Alabama? While some would like to dispute the place of primacy for the SEC, especially if Florida wins out with what would be only two wins over top-25 teams (LSU and Alabama), it is really meaningless to argue about this, given the current irrational state of college football. Instead, we need to focus on which of the...

The 2008 season was a bit of a roller coaster ride as far as the Texas Longhorns were concerned.  Rick Barnes' squad entered the season as a top 10 team, but faltered in January and February, limping in to the NCAA Tournament.  The Longhorns finished a modest 23-12. For a team with the kind of talent Texas had, the inconsistency throughout the season was a bit unsettling. The Longhorns were looking good in December, knocking off ninth ranked...

Texas longhorns have made a comeback. The animals, once nearly extinct, now number more than 330,000 in herds across the country. Tip to tip, their horns can measure 8 feet and beyond. And breeders head to horn competitions to crown the longest.  

That felt good. Our first complete game in all phases and it’s not the score that convinces me of that fact. Compared to last year’s team, we’re faster, quicker, have an identity on defense, and game changers on special teams. A focus on the offense’s slow starts has obscured the fact that we’re building quality units in the other two phases. I think we owe Texas Tech a debt of gratitude for reminding us of the urgency with which we need to...

Thursday night's Texas-Texas A&M game was a Texas-style shoot-out, complete with drama, fat women in the stands, and noise. But while Texas A&M will feel once again disheartened by losing to Texas, Texas will also be disheartened.

I watched most of the Western Carolina game the other night and it reminded me of how hard guys play when they are trying to prove themselves.  Everybody was playing so fast that they never seemed to get into any kind of rhythm.  This is to be expected at the beginning of the season and against an opponent that was clearly outmatched physically and athletically, but played with a lot of heart. To add to the chaotic pace, Barnes played five-man...  

Mack Brown just finished his press conference. In week 11 of the Texas RB carousel, the lucky pony also happens to be our best RB; they got this one right. It doesn’t mean you won’t see Cody Johnson get every carry inside the five yard line and on third and short, but Newton is the guy you want between the 20’s. In the Longhorn's system, you need a back that gets upfield quickly and can make guys miss at the second level. Check out the balance...

The slide from No. 2 to No. 3 is sliding right off Texas coach Mack Brown's shoulders. The Longhorns coach doesn't seem the least bit concerned that Texas dropped a spot in the latest Bowl Championship Series rankings. That's because if the Longhorns (9-0) win the rest of their games, they shouldn't have any problem getting into the BCS title game.

Texas longhorns — the cattle, not the college football team — have made a stunning comeback. In 1964, there were believed to be fewer than 1,500 genuine longhorns in existence.

The animals have grown popular among weekend ranchers who want a symbol of Western heritage but don't want the work involved with regular cattle. Every year, longhorn breeders come to the...

When it comes to the game against the Anteaters, I wouldn’t get too carried away with the lopsided win. First, I’m not sure Irvine has a kid on the squad that can dunk. Seriously.
