The Bulldogs (3-2, District 13-4A Division I) will take a bye next week before heading to Lampasas (4-1) for the district opener Oct. 6. “Better than being 2-3,” Burnet head coach Bryan Wood said with a chuckle. “We thought going into preseason, we for sure wanted to get three.

CAPTION: Elizabeth and Todd Dodge with Clemson quarterback and former and Austin Westlake quarterback Cade Klubnik.

Reports surfaced that head coach Steve Sarkisian will add another special assistant the staff, much like he did in 2022 when he hired former TCU head coach Gary Patterson. The belief is this time, it’ll be someone to help on the offensive side of the ball. My take is it should be Todd Dodge. Let’s…

One athlete it seemed everyone wanted to talk to during the Big 12 Conference’s Media Days July 14 was Texas junior running back Bijan Robinson, the media’s selection as the Preseason Offensive Player of the Year after a remarkable 2021 season. Robinson’s stats from last season speak for themselves: 1,264 yards rushing and 11 touchdowns on 213 carries to finish third in the conference. At one point, Robinson led the nation in rushing and was talked about as a Heisman trophy contender. While those comments are appreciated, Robinson views what…

Now that Big 12 head coaches and some of their players wrapped up the two-day event known as Media Days July 13-14, it’s time to review what was learned. Headed into the event, I shared my five questions in the hopes of getting answers. Here’s what is known: Television contracts and the possibility of a conference network. So much of this comes down to the exit and exit fees of Oklahoma and Texas moving to the SEC. The good news is there appears to be a timeline thanks to UCLA…

Texas’ different approach should lead to better results in 2022

The ability to finish a game, especially one the Texas Longhorns are leading, was among the many goals head coach Steve Sarkisian addressed as the last coach to appear during Big 12 Media Days July 14. He noted the Longhorns have been undergoing even more grueling conditioning sessions where they have been on their feet more so they can have the energy to finish contests, especially close ones, in the final quarter. He noted he could have kept what was installed by former head coach Tom Herman or he could…

Fresh from guiding the University of Texas men’s golf team to a national championship, head coach John Fields was the featured speaker of the latest gathering of the Rudy Davalos Horseshoe Bay Sports Club June 28 and sat next to the man who has meant so much to so many — Davalos himself. Davalos, now a Horseshoe Bay resident and one of the founders of the local sports club, was the athletic director at the University of New Mexico when his counterpart at Texas, Deloss Dodds, offered Fields the Longhorns’…

In a span of four days, seven players committed to the Texas Longhorns football team and pushed the burnt orange to No. 5 in the class rankings. It’s a period that began with a simple tweet from Isidore Newman senior quarterback Arch Manning declaring his commitment to head coach Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns on June 23. Since then, a firestorm of media coverage on all levels talked about Manning’s commitment to the Longhorns and asked the dreaded question fans have come to hate — does this mean the Longhorns…

An unprecedented run to the national championship series of the NCAA Division I Women’s College World Series has brought out plenty of chatter among softball fans around the country. Perhaps what the University of Texas softball team learned or even had confirmed is that no matter the sport, it seems people everywhere love to hate the Longhorns. Let’s recap. The softball team faced elimination during the Seattle Regional and had to beat host Washington 3-2 to advance to the Fayetteville Super Regional. Waiting for them were the nationally No. 4-seeded…
