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.

This is the second in our Longhorn player profile series, leading up to the season-opening game on Sept. 1. For his first two years at Texas, Jamaal Charles has been a two-sport star in football and track. But this year, Charles decided to skip the outdoor track season to better prepare for the demands of carrying the pigskin this fall. He turned to backup running back Chris Ogbonnaya for help. They proposed an agreement: Ogbonnaya,......

As temperatures climbed over the 100-degree mark for the third straight day on Tuesday, the Texas Longhorns are taking innovative measures to beat the heat. The Longhorns are one of a handful of college and pro teams using the CorTemp ingestible core body thermometer pill. Before practice, a player swallows a silicone-coated capsule the size of a large vitamin. Inside the capsule is a sensor that transmits core body temperature to a data recorder.......

Texas may be trotting out a freshman quarterback (Colt McCoy) for the first time in years, but the team is still extremely solid. The defensive line may be the best in the country, the wide receiving corps may be the deepest in school history and, despite the fact that another UT running back (Ramonce Taylor) had a run-in with the weed over the off-season, the tailback position is well staffed, as well. Fifth-year senior Selvin......

Hey, hey, goodbye, P.J. Tucker. You will be missed. Yet another of the starting five from the Longhorns basketball team is officially headed to the pros. It should not come as too much of a surprise that Baby Barkley (as we call him) has decided to forego his final year of eligibility and go make some cash. The AP named Tucker to its second-team All-America after he averaged 16 points and 9.5 rebounds last......

*Photo by Dallas Smith* The University of Texas and its fans have been waiting for this day for 35 years.

The Longhorns finally had some quarterback recruiting news go their way this week. After losing Ryan Perriloux to LSU at the 11th hour last year and watching high school standouts Kyle Wright (Miami) and Bobby Reid (Oklahoma State) go elsewhere, the Longhorns had been in a bit of a funk with regard to getting a nationally-ranked QB prospect.

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......

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......
