January 17, 2024 - Texas locks down Steve Sarkisian Jan 17, 2024

Show notes

Coming off of the most successful season this side of 2009, the Texas Longhorns and Chris Del Conte extended head coach Steve Sarkisian's contract another four years through the 2030 season.

While the contract details have yet to be released, it's safe to assume that Sarkisian is getting a sizeable raise, with Texas getting Sark's services for a relative discount -- as the third-best paid coach in the Big 12. For context, if Sarkisian was in the SEC for the 2023 season, he would have been No. 13 in the conference, just behind Eli Drinkwitz of Missouri.

January 10, 2023 - Big 12 Basketball Begins Jan 10, 2024

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns, both the men and the women, have officially started conference play with similar results. Splitting their first two games is less than ideal for both squads, but they have a chance to rebound.

January 2, 2024: Texas falls to Washington in CFP Jan 02, 2024

Show notes

The No. 3 Texas Longhorns had the ball with one second left on the clock and an opportunity to score, but couldn’t managed to punch it in for the win.

December 26, 2023 - CFP Preview with Gabey Lucas Dec 26, 2023

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns are headed to Louisiana to take on the Washington Huskies in the Sugar Bowl, kicking off the Longhorns' first trip to the College Football Playoff.

We're a year removed from these two teams squaring off in the Alamo Bowl, with both squads looking significantly improved in the year that has passed. Texas is stronger and more stout on defense, while the Huskies are an even more refined version of the offensive juggernaut they were in the Alamo City.

How do the two ascendant teams match up and who will take on the winner of Michigan and Alabama?

December 21, 2023 - Early Signing Day and Volleyball Championship Dec 21, 2023

Show notes

It was a big week for the Texas Longhorns, with the volleyball team demolishing the top teams in the B1G Ten on the way to its second-consecutive NCAA Championship. Early in the season, it felt like this Texas team may not have been up to the lofty standards set by previous iterations, but when push came to shove they were elite and proved beyond any doubt that they are the best in the nation.

Early Signing Day is also upon us, with Texas finding the next crop of talent to take with them into the SEC. For the third straight year, Steve Sarkisian and company brought in an top-five class, positioning themselves alongside the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Georgia Bulldogs as the most talented teams in the SEC going forward.

December 13, 2023 - Texas volleyball reaches the Final Four Dec 13, 2023

Show notes

After a somewhat rocky start to the year, the Texas Longhorns volleyball team has caught fire at the right time and has made it back to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four.

To get there, Texas had to survive a dramatic outing against a tough Tennessee Volunteers squad and get revenge on the Stanford Cardinal, who swept them earlier in the season. Texas did just that and is now heading to Florida to try and defend its title.

How do the Longhorns match up with the field and who needs to play well for Texas to hoist the trophy?

December 6, 2023 - Texas wins the Big 12, CFP Berth Dec 06, 2023

Show notes

The No. 3 Texas Longhorns did what they needed to to in Arlington, putting together a lopsided win over the Oklahoma State Cowboys and proving their place among the four best teams in college football.

Quinn Ewers and the offense were electric from the start, while the defense continued the standard of excellence we've come to expect from that group all year. The difference between this game and many others was the Longhorns' ability to close out their opponent.

Now, despite some controversy, the Longhorns are headed to their first-ever CFP to square off against another familiar foe -- the Washington Huskies.

November 29, 2023 - Texas takes on Oklahoma State for the Big 12 Title Nov 30, 2023

Show notes

The No. 7 Texas Longhorns got an unexpected addition to their revenge tour, a matchup against the Oklahoma State Cowboys for the Big 12 Championship.

Recent history against Mike Gundy and the Cowboys has not been pretty for Texas, with the Pokes coming out ahead in seven of the last ten matchups, including the previous two meetings. The Cowboys lost a ton to the transfer portal but managed to do enough, thanks in large part to running back Ollie Gordon, II, to find their way back to Arlington for the matchup.

How will Texas shut down the Big 12 offensive player of the year? And what can the Longhorns do to keep the offense on track?

Show notes

The No. 7 Texas Longhorns closed out their final regular season in the Big 12 in dominant fashion, blowing out Texas Tech by 50 points to secure their spot in the conference championship game.

Texas got it done in familiar fashion, relying on a stout defense and an explosive running attack to close out the Red Raiders and pour it on late. Texas fans have been asking for a four-quarters performance and the Longhorns finally delivered in Game 12.
