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,......

#14 Texas (7-2) vs. Oklahoma State (5-3) Time: 2:30 pm, Saturday, Nov. 3 Location: Boone Pickens Stadium, Stillwater, Oklahoma TV: ABC Radio: KVET (98.1 FM, 1300 AM) With three games remaining in the regular season, the Texas Longhorns are as much as a mystery as they were before the season started. Currently ranked No. 14 in the country with games remaining against unranked teams (Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, and Texas A&M), the Longhorns seem......

The Texas Tech vs. Texas A&M football game has been a heated rivalry in recent years. This year's game now has taken on an added fervor after a Tech student started selling a T-shirt with the likeness of Michael Vick hanging A&M's dog mascot. A take-off on the Aggies' slogan "Gig 'em", the shirts say "Vick 'Em" and show a cartoon of football player wearing Michael Vick's No. 7 jersey holding a rope with......

The University of Texas raised $26 million in athletic donations in 2006, putting it 16th among all U.S. universities. A study by The Chronicle of Higher Education found that money for athletics accounts for more than one-quarter of all contributions to some universities. The Chronicle survey reported that the country's largest athletic departments and booster clubs raised more than $1.2 billion in 2006 and 2007. The University of Texas wasn't the top athletic fund-raiser in......

If you've become increasingly bored with the Old Lions of student media at The University of Texas, you may want to consider an alternative. The Daily Texan, once considered the legit alt-paper when this was still a one-horse town, was ousted by The Austin Chronicle long ago, and now tends to offer minimal reporting that increasingly looks more like any other college daily than the proud former home of Willie Morris and Bill Moyers.......

March Madness is beginning...now. Today marks the start of the Big 12 Tournament in Dallas (and other regionals as well), which means all-day basketball on TV for you student types. It sure beats working or studying. As for the top-seeded Longhorns, they secured a first round bye for the tourney, but will play Texas Tech tomorrow morning at 11:30am. If they win that one, they'll play again on Saturday in the semis at 1pm.......

While Austin doesn't yet have a pro sports franchise, the last couple of years have brought us a deluge of minor league teams for our live sports fix. The newest of these is the Austin Toros of the NBDL, which is the NBA's (relatively) new minor league system. Each NBDL team serves as a source of potential talent for four NBA teams, and the Toros are currently affiliated with the Spurs, Nuggets, Rockets, and......
