Be honest. You had to feel for Colt McCoy, if only a little.
This is the winningest quarterback in NCAA history we are talking about.
The guy who, in any other year, would have been a slam-dunk Heisman winner after the gargantuan numbers he produced in 2008.
The guy who kept a low [...]
You'll recognize the expression "What Can Brown Do For You?" as UPS's ad campaign, intended to communicate their catch-all capability and magnanimous approach to the often-annoying demands of shipping.
It's not a bad slogan for Texas Longhorns coach Mack Brown, either. Brown is the silent sideline CEO, a do-it-aller, which makes' [...]
Bumped. Hook 'em
It was a good day for quite a few Horns. Three of our running backs produced very well, but 2 of them didn't get any support from their team. Orakpo went nuts.
Here is a quick break down, stats provided by ESPN.
Ricky: 108 yards on 28 carries with a [...]
It hasn't been easy for Texas to recruit Dallas Skyline high school, a hotbed of recruiting. Securing a commitment from Christian Scott was a major victory and now the addition of wide receive Mike Davis may help the Longhorns secure a foothold in the talent-rich school, which' [...]
Last season, Texas State had an obnoxiously loud cheering section in the south O-Zone as they pushed Texas to the limit. This afternoon, their cheering section stayed up in the mezzanine and witnessed a thorough beating. Unlike last season, Texas used an early 16-0 run to bury the Bobcats and had the game [...]
Back when he was still the head football coach at the University of North Carolina, I wrote a letter to their head football coach, Mack Brown.
Ostensibly, I wanted to know what one thing he had found to be most instrumental to his success in life.
At that time, he was still [...]
Ndamukong Suh is a beast. He is a monster. He is an animal. A stud. A man. A game-changer. He is any other adjective related to dominance.
I found all this out while watching the Big 12 Championship game. As a big Texas Longhorns fan and an even bigger Colt McCoy fan, I [...]
Back in December, 2005, Texas quarterback Vince Young boarded a flight to New York City for the 71st Heisman award ceremony.
Young had done just about everything a Heisman candidate could be asked to do.
He had racked up eye-popping statistics, created an endless display of highlight reel material, and led his [...]
Florida will get the last word with Jordan Hicks as he takes his last official visit this weekend, but Mack Brown will help keep the Longhorns near the forefront of his mind with an expected in-home visit with Hicks Wednesday.
Perhaps even bigger [...]
The Neighborhood Longhorns Program, which BON likes to support, has asked us to help them on a fundraising campaign, to which we happily agreed. Below you'll find details on how you can order some pretty cool commemorative footballs, proceeds of which benefit the NLP, a terrific organization.The limited edition' [...]
Bumped. Bruins in Texas or any Long Horns who might have information for BaldBruin, please help him out! We need him at the game. GO BRUINS. -N
Crazy title, but this post is not OT.
This past weekend, I attended a holiday party with some UCLA friends with whom my wife and [...]

We already know the deal, Cincinnati is not going to play in the National Championship Game. Instead the Bearcats will get to play in the Sugar Bowl and face off wih Florida in Tim Tebow's final game. Meanwhile the Longhorns will be prepping to face the undefeated [...]
It is official. The Horns are in.
As expected, it will be Texas vs. Alabama playing for the national championship, Jan. 7 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
It’s the second trip for Texas to a BCS [...]
It’s funny how you play three months to determine who is qualified to play in the BCS National Championship game, but it can all change in one week.
For the top three teams in college football for pretty much the entire season—Florida, Alabama, and Texas—some unexpected realities set in that last week [...]
First things first . . . the national championship game has been set, and, as expected, it will pit the Alabama Crimson Tide against the Texas Longhorns. Put another way, it will pit Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart, a member of the University of Georgia graduating class of 1999, [...]
[UPDATE--It's official, Horns to Pasadena!] Texas finds out now whether it'll play in Pasadena in January. You remember the last time Texas went there, right? Good times.

Now that Alabama has disposed of Florida and Texas edged Nebraska by the slimmest of margins to set up the Citi BCS national title game between the Crimson Tide and Longhorns, let's take a quick look back and see [...]The first good news of the day leading up to the official selection show later -- the Longhorns moved up to second in the Coaches' Poll, in front of TCU and Cincinnati, with Florida dropping to fifth.
Correction: Texas remains at second in the [...]

Things are coming up orange roses.
(I'm just glad I didn't have to use any of those dead rose photos
I found last night during the last minute of the game...)
Even the Austin American-Statesman didn't believe the Horns would win. At 10:42pm' [...]

Vince Young has probably booked his ticket.
Bevo may be en route as we speak.
And I wouldn’t be surprised if Mickey Mouse has his burnt orange ears all ready to go.
It’s all but assumed that the Texas Longhorns will play for their second BCS title after closing the regular season against [...]
