UT alum and standout linebacker from a year ago, Aaron Harris, was also arrested. Mack Brown has been informed of the arrests but has yet to release a statement. The timing of......

West Virginia learned that the hard way Thursday night as Kenton Paulino nailed a buzzer-beating three-pointer, giving Texas a 74-71 victory and advancing them to the Elite 8 Saturday against LSU. Earlier in the evening the Tigers beat Duke by pounding the glass and playing tenacious defense against probable Naismith-winner J.J. Redick and the Blue Devils. The Mountaineers, who made only one two-point basket in the first half, relied on steady three-point shooting to keep......

Sophomore sensation LaMarcus Aldridge made plays at both ends of the court in the final seconds to help propel the second-ranked Horns past #13 West Virginia 76-75 to advance to tonight’s final of the Guardians Classic. The much-heralded Texas backcourt looked like a group playing in only its third game of the year. All-American candidate Daniel Gibson turned the ball over 9 times, and the Longhorns turned it over 24 times as a team.......

We know this appears below in News Bits, but we figured it deserved its own space. It's only been, what, like 22 years or something since UT was ranked #1 at any point in the seaon? Well, apparently the blowout victory over the Red Raiders on Saturday impressed more than just the third-largest crowd in UT history. The latest BCS poll has UT ranked #1. The Horns are in the driver’s seat now. Finish......

The Longhorns had said throughout the postseason that they do not dog-pile unless they win it all. Well, all of that pent up emotion came spilling out Sunday afternoon after J. Brent Cox struck out the final batter of the College World Series, and the Horns mobbed one another in a massive pile of bodies near the pitcher’s mound. The Longhorn defeated the Florida Gators 6-2 on Sunday, sweeping the Gators in two games......

The Texas Longhorns defeated the Michigan Wolverines in thrilling fashion this January, winning their first-ever Rose Bowl and finishing the season ranked 4th in the nation. Dusty Mangum's field-goal as time expired capped off a gutsy performance by the Horns who were led by the brilliant play of double-threat Vince Young. The Horns won the Rose Bowl trophy, but now they are relying on fans' support to win yet another award, the ESPY Award......

As coach Augie Garrido said in his post-game press conference, when a few people in the dugout asked why he was allowing his injured first baseman Chance Wheeless to stay in the game and bat in the ninth inning, he responded, "For Chris'sake, the kid wants to be a hero." And on an 0-1 count, the slugger's dream came true. He belted a fastball deep into the right field stands to beat the Baylor......
