The Texas Longhorns had a less-than-stellar weekend on the men's athletic front, with the basketball team blowing a 19-point lead and the baseball team failing to get off of the ground. What caused these two big disappointments and what can Texas do moving forward? It wasn't all bad, as the football team received a commitment from top 40 wide receiver Evan Stewart, continuing the momentum on the 2022 recruiting trail.

February 9, 2021 - Basketball's Continued Struggles Feb 09, 2021

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns continued their slide over the weekend, falling to the Oklahoma State Cowboys in double overtime. The Longhorns could not find an answer on the offensive end and the bottom fell out of their shooting as the game went on. What can Shaka Smart and his coaching staff do to turn this around as the Longhorns head into the final stretch of their season? We also take time to review all of the non-basketball news from the weekend that was with some big action in tennis and in the pool. Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook.

The Texas Longhorns signed most of the class under former head coach Tom Herman, but with the coaching change came a new attempt to secure talent in the 2021 class. The Longhorns managed to keep the unsigned pieces and add a key defender to the group. We also take the opportunity to look back at the missed opportunities by Texas against the Baylor Bears on the hardwood. Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook.

January 19, 2021 - Basketball's Odd Week and New Coaches Jan 19, 2021

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns had up-and-down weeks on both the men's and women's sides of the hardwood, turning in 1-1 performances, with both losses to the Texas Tech Red Raiders. It seemed both teams shared the same struggles, inconsistent play from the entire unit against a team that loves to beat Texas. It also appears that the football coaching staff is starting to coalesce, at least if you can believe the Twitter profiles of the new coaches. Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook.
