TEXAS LONGHORNS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Still trying to shape his program back into a national championship contender, Texas coach Mack Brown signed another highly rated recruiting class Wednesday, a group anchored by a record-setting running back and notable for its last-minute additions. Texas annually signs classes rated among the best in the country, but the Longhorns are just 13-12 over the last two seasons since...

Despite struggling over the past two seasons, compiling a 13-12 record, the University of Texas' Board of Regents looked at the big picture and Mack Brown's entire resume and extended his contract through 2020.

Currently projected as the second-rated class in the country according to ESPN, the Texas Longhorns once again are on the verge of have an amazing recruiting class come to the 40 acres in 2012. Led by two-time Gatorade National Player of the Year Johnathan Gray, the Longhorns already have 24 total commitments, two of which are rated as 5-star players. So with this stockpile of...

When the Longhorns adopted a "brick-by-brick" approach to rebuilding their football program, they had to have known it would be a multiyear process. Even Mack Brown admitted that he was more interested in the process of improvement than in results. Although it's numbers like wins and losses that determine the job security of a head coach and the perception of his team...

Texas sophomore wide receiver Darius White will transfer and won't play for the Longhorns in the Holiday Bowl. White, a former high school All-American from Fort Worth, had six career receptions with one touchdown in 20 games. White has been given an unconditional release from the Longhorns. In a statement released by Texas, White says he needs a fresh start but has not decided...

The brick-by-brick approach that Texas used this season paid off to a certain extent. The Longhorns posted a 7-5 record, an improvement from last year’s 5-7 abomination but a mark that proves that Mack Brown and Co. have a ways to go before Texas becomes a conference or national title contender again. But with another top-notch recruiting class coming in - one that’s...

Former Fort Worth Dunbar standout Darius White has decided to transfer from Texas. White, a wide receiver, hasn't decided where he's transferring after two seasons with the Longhorns. He was given his unconditional release and will not travel with the Longhorns to the Holiday Bowl. White said in a statement that after talking with his family he decided he needed a new start...

Entering the 2011 high school football season, there was little doubt in peoples’ minds that Aledo High School running back– and 2012 University of Texas football commit– John Gray was the best running back in the state of Texas. Apparently, voters for the Gatorade National Player of the Year Award think that Gray is in fact the nation’s best overall player...

The 2011 Texas Longhorns football team runs the ball well, you could even say with dominance. The efforts of true freshmen Joe Bergeron and Malcolm Brown, combined with the explosive speed of D.J. Monroe and the veteran smarts and elusivness of Fozzy Whittaker have made the running back unit for Texas one to be reckoned with. Regardless, Mack Brown mentioned in his morning press...

It appears that the transfer bug has yet again hit the Texas football program. This time around it’s redshirt freshman wideout Chris Jones that has decided to leave the program. Buried on the depth chart beneath Jaxon Shipley, Mike Davis and Darius White, Jones appears to have a desire to move to a school closer to his roots in the small East Texas town of Daingerfield.

At the Start of the season, I was figuring Texas was looking to bounce back with a solid 8 win campaign and I had them being 2-1 after the first three games, but that was the best case scenario. Fast forward to the season and the Longhorns just had their way with UCLA and are now 3-0. This is a surprising revelation for any fan, even the most optimistic and diehard fan had to figure...

Check out this incredibly violent hit. Texas Longhorn Marquise Goodwin (No. 84) really laid out UCLA Bruins’ Andrew Abbott (No. 26) in this illegal helmet-to-helmet hit. It happened with about a minute to go in the first half. Texas was leading 21-7 at the time in the Rose Bowl. It drew a 15-yard penalty. Now you know why the NFL fines players for helmet-to-helmet contact...

The 2011 Texas Longhorns will be under the microscope throughout the season– the attention and scrutiny from the media, fans, alumni and students will be as intense as it has been in recent memory. Each of these groups has their own stake in the success of the football team, and will have differing levels of patience. No matter how you cut it, Mack Brown, his coaching staff...

Tempers flared and hostilities escalated between two adversarial fans of the Red River Rivalry teams to such an extent that a knife was pulled and both brawlers were seriously injured. And the brouhaha occurred in an Applebee's, of all places.
