Show notes

The Texas Longhorns had a busy weekend competing for championships, with the rowing team bringing home championship gold - their third in the last four years. En route to winning, they edged out the Stanford Cardinal to put themselves in position to claim the Director's Cup.

While they were rowing, the baseball team was in College Station, going 1-2 on the weekend - blowing a lead to rival Texas A&M and then being eliminated by Louisiana -- the team they sent to the elimination bracket.

In Oklahoma City, the softball team relied on dominant pitching from a freshman phenom to shut down all of the competition, with pitcher Tegan Kavan setting the tone for the pitching staff.

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns once again find themselves in the postseason, but this time in unfamiliar territory -- heading to College Station to take on Louisiana, Grambling State, and of course host Texas A&M.

While the matchup with the Aggies headlines the weekend, the team can't look past the opening tilt against a powerful Ragin' Cajuns squad that can generate offense at a moment's notice. Once they do take on the Aggies, the pitching staff will have its hands full with the powerful lineup of Maroon batters, who can blast home runs with the best of them.

What's our read on the weekend and how will Texas handle the pressure of taking on their rival?

The Texas Longhorns had a record-setting outing in the NFL Draft, with 11 players selected through the seven rounds this weekend.

Byron Murphy kicked off the proceedings for Texas, with the No. 16 pick, before seeing Kansas City trade up to pick Xavier Worthy at the bottom of the round. From there, Texas had nine more players selected, setting the record for draft picks in the common draft era.

What does that mean for Texas in its current recruiting efforts and what do we expect for next year?

The Texas Longhorns closed out 2024 spring practice with the annual Orange and White game.

While presumptive starter Quinn Ewers saw minimal action, the offenses still stole the show led by a pair of young guns. All-world recruit Arch Manning and early enrollee Trey Owens led the offenses to a highlight-filled Saturday where the offenses showed off the high ceiling for next season.

The Texas Longhorns softball team did what was previously unthinkable, beating the modern Oklahoma Sooners' softball team in a conference series.

Mike White and his team leaned on incredible fielding and pitching to get the job done, keeping them in the race for the Big 12 title.

What does that mean for the remainder of the regular season?

April 3, 2024 - Texas Women Exit March Madness Apr 03, 2024

Show notes

After yet another trip to the Elite 8 under Vic Schaefer, the Texas Longhorns found their stay in the NCAA Tournament cut short at the hands of the NCState Wolfpack. Recurring issues on both ends of the floor spelled doom for the Longhorns as the Wolfpack got the job done from behind the arc.

March 26, 2024 - Texas women advance, men bow out Mar 26, 2024

Show notes

After both teams put up dominating performances in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, their paths diverged.

The Texas women continued their dominating ways and advanced to the Sweet 16 for the third time in four years under Vic Schaefer. A combination of suffocating defense and offensive rebounding led the ladies to the second weekend of the tournament and, hopefully, an even deeper run.

The men's offensive struggles continued against Tennessee, with turnovers and a lack of consistent playmakers ultimately spelling the end of the season for them.
