Bubble News: Can Texas Bag A Winnable Road Game?
Football is finished. Congrats to the Giants, anyone who had an Eli For MVP prop bet and, of course, those who had Giants Safety as the game’s first score. I assume folks who had that latter ticket are taking off of work today. Now, let Basketball take over. In fact, with the unseasonably warm winter we’ve been having, it already feels like March outside. We have a month...

Mack Brown and the Texas Longhorns Receive First Commitment of Class of 2013
Mack Brown and Company didn’t rest long. Just two days after National Signing Day, the Texas Longhorns’ football team added its first recruit of the 2013 class.
On Friday, Celina Bobcats standout, Jake Raulerson, called Coach Brown and the rest of the football staff and told him that he is ready to be a Longhorn. When Brown asked Jake why he chose Texas, Jake told him...

Local WR Jones excited to become Longhorn
The great thing about recruiting is that sometimes, college coaches have to scrap to find some diamond in the rough that no other team has discovered. But others, there's a blue-chipper sitting right under their noses.
Count Longhorn signee Cayleb Jones in the latter category. And count the Longhorns lucky that Jones was a simple sniff away. Texas typically casts its nets across...

Texas Longhorns Ink Surprise Recruit in Signing Day Switch
As the letters from Longhorn commitments trickled into university offices this morning, there were very few surprises, as is usually the case where Texas is concerned considering that most of Mack Brown’s recruiting classes are wrapped up long before Signing Day arrives. All of the recruits who were expected to sign with Texas did with much fanfare, but little mystery.
Until...

Could Texas be closing in on current TCU commit, Daje Johnson?
For the Texas Longhorns, there usually isn’t much suspense surrounding National Signing Day because head football coach Mack Brown typically closes out his recruiting classes early in the recruiting season.
This season however, as signing day looms, Texas is still in the picture for some of the state’s top recruits.
One of the prospects who is in Austin this weekend on...

Texas Gives Mack Brown an Extension
Despite falling from the elite the past few years, even while maintaining stellar recruiting, the University of Texas gave Head Coach Mack Brown an extension yesterday. The Longhorns’ struggles the last two seasons, a 13-12 record including a 6-11 record in the Big 12, are well documented. These recent struggles led some, many in fact, to believe that Mack Brown’s days...

Texas, Alabama battle for top recruiting class
If Texas and Alabama's recruiting classes were the equivalent of horses running in the Kentucky Derby, Alabama would be leading by a nose heading down the final stretch.
Just how close is it? Scout.com allocates a certain number of points toward a class based on a player's star ranking five-stars earn 200 points, four-stars 120 points, three-star players 40, and so on ...

Extension for Brown has Longhorns all a twitter
Wow. Winning a Holiday Bowl sure pays off these days.
Texas coach Mack Brown is about to receive a contract extension through the 2020 season. Brown was already contracted through 2016, and the extension wouldn't be a huge raise. A source told the Austin American-Statesman it would merely continue Brown's annual 100,000 raises on a contract that currently pays him 5.2 million...

Longhorns looking to Brown as finisher
When it comes to end-of-game situations, coaches find themselves in a darned-if-you-do, darned-if-you-don't situation.
The popular wisdom even predating Jimmy Chitwood's "I'll make it" while staring blankly across at the huddle in 'Hoosiers' is that the best player takes the final shot. It's what the star players want, a desire meshed with hours...
