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…

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…

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…

Most Texans may know Cedric Griffin as a cornerback for the 2005 national champion Texas Longhorns that defeated the University of Southern California in the Rose Bowl. Griffin was part of the 2001 recruiting class ranked No. 1 in the country. What people may not know is that Griffin, who is an assistant track coach for Faith Academy of Marble Falls this spring, credits much of his play-making ability on the football field to the time he spent on the track long before he signed his National Letter of Intent…
