Photo by Ken Mau on flickr#15 Texas (8-2) vs. Texas Tech (7-3) Time: 2:30 pm, Saturday, Nov. 10 Location: Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium TV: ABC Radio: KVET (98.1 FM, 1300 AM) Critics complained early in the season that the Texas Longhorns had no "identity". Were they a passing team that threw it all over the field? A run-first team that ground you into the dirt? A blitzing, hard-hitting defense? Over the last two games,......

Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium TV: ABC Radio: KVET (98.1 FM, 1300 AM) The Texas-Nebraska game on Saturday highlights the clash of history and reality. Historically, both are among the premier programs in college football, and the numbers prove it. The schools have combined for more than 1,600 victories, nine national championships, 90 bowl appearances, and five Heisman Trophy winners. But in......

#7 Texas (4-0) vs. Kansas State (2-1) Time: 2:30 pm, Saturday, Sept. 29 Location: Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium TV: KVUE (ABC) Radio: KVET (98.1 FM, 1300 AM) As the Kansas State Wildcats come to town this week, the Texas Longhorns insist they don't have revenge on their minds, but it would be easy to allow them that sentiment. When the two teams met last year in Manhattan, Kansas, Texas was on top of the......

#7 Texas (3-0) vs. Rice (0-3) Time: 6 pm, Saturday, Sept. 22 Location: Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium TV: Fox Sports Southwest Radio: KVET (98.1 FM, 1300 AM) There have been more than enough distractions to keep Texas coach Mack Brown occupied this week. Word that a sixth Longhorn had been arrested in the past four months set off allegations that the program is out of control. And even though they've won their first three......

Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium TV: Fox Sports Southwest Radio: KVET (98.1 FM, 1300 AM) For the past week, all signs have been pointing to "upset" in this game. Texas looked unsteady at times in its 21-13 win over Arkansas State, while TCU shut out Baylor, 27-0. While the Longhorns' performance in the opener was shaky, at least it was......

This is the first in our Longhorn player profile series, leading up to the season-opening game on Sept. 1. The enduring images from Colt McCoy's first season as the starting quarterback of the Texas Longhorns are a study in contrasts. On one hand, there was the sight of him winging a school-record six touchdowns in a single game against Baylor and battling the snow and wind to put the Longhorns in position for a come-from-behind......

Classes have ended at The University of Texas and winter is finally here, the time when girls trade short skirts for sweatpants and guys replace short-sleeve UT shirts with long-sleeve UT shirts. For the students at UT Austin, it's been a pretty tough year. West Campus construction has kept them up all night, their football team choked, APD won't let them party as hard, and now, starting tomorrow, it's final exam time. Where do......

This year's football season may be over for the Longhorns, but their home field is about to get a much anticipated facelift. Beginning this Friday, construction crews will demolish the north end zone, the oldest part of The Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, in order to make way for ... you guessed it, more seating. Everyone in Austin is trying to make room for more and UT football is definitely no exception. In addition to......

Baylor's top Cornerback C.J. Wilson is predicting the possibility of an upset for Saturday's match vs. The University of Texas. Although Wilson is tied atop the Big Twelve leader board for most interceptions, we don't believe there will be much chance for his forecast of "The I-35 Surprise." The AAS reported on the story with quotes from both Wilson and Longhorn running back Selvin Young. "If you beat Texas, the rest of the Big......

Joe Jamail is a household name around Austin. The football field at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium and the Texas Swimming Center both carry his name. In his most famed case, Jamail represented Pennzoil in their lawsuit against Texaco, won and was paid somewhere in excess of one billion dollars for his efforts. Joe Jamail is known for being abrasive and straightforward; he was once quoted as saying, "I grew up fighting. I had to.......

Winning the Natioional Championship creates an even stronger demand on the UT Board of Regents to approve budgeting for the Royal Memorial Stadium expansion. Yesterday, many environmental groups met in Austin to launch a campaign for cleaner air in Texas. Governor Rick Perry intends to expedite the permitting process for several new coal-fueled power plants in the state. A local teacher reveals too much information on myspace.com. Speculation rises: could the fire that destroyed......
