Our self-scouting continues as we take a dive into the Texas Longhorns' offensive line.
Texas lost the majority of its production from a year ago, replacing both tackles, a guard and a center -- all of which are now on NFL rosters. The remaining players are talented, but have yet to live up to their full potential, as they try to gel with a group of relatively inexperienced, yet talented newcomers.
We are inching ever closer to the kickoff of the 2025 season and this week we preview the SEC opener against the Florida Gators.
This time last year, Billy Napier was on the hot seat, and while he did enough last year to stay around he will need another step forward to keep interest high in the Swamp. How will DJ Lagway's development help that and what will they do at the skill positions to support him?
The Texas Longhorns once again saw their top pass catchers make their way to the professional ranks with early draft picks, meaning they once again are looking for who will be the top player in the wide receiver room. There is a ton of talent in the room, with top-100 recruits from the last three cycles populating that room, but none of them have been the top guy at Texas yet.
While prepping for the upcoming season at SEC Media Days, the Texas Longhorns landed a massive recruiting blow to defending champion Georgia with the additions of Tyler Atkinson and James Johnson to the 2026 cycle. We break down what that means for Texas and how they can continue to build a championship-level roster.
We also welcome back to the show Kamiar Mehrabian of the Bud, Barry, Bob, and Beers Podcast to help us preview the Ok...
The Texas Longhorns are starting to gain some momentum on the recruiting trail with multiple out-of-state players pledging to Texas for the 2026 class. We dive into what they have to sell to those kids, as well as the kids of professional sports stars.
We also take time to break down what we hope for the Longhorns at the running back position as they try to get healthy for 2025.
The season rapidly approaches as we continue through the Texas Longhorns' upcoming schedule week by week.
This week, we land on the Kentucky Wildcats, who are looking to rebound from their worst season under head coach Mark Stoops. They were hit hard during the Transfer Portal window, but also tried to rebuild through it as well -- reshaping their roster from a team that won just won SEC game.
For the first time in three seasons, the Texas Longhorns are breaking in a new quarterback.
The former top player in the country, Arch Manning, is officially set to take the field as QB1 for the Texas Longhorns after two seasons of ill-informed questions and transfer rumors. Expectations are already sky high for the Longhorns' quarterback as they try to reach their third consecutive College Football Playoffs.
We continue our march through the Texas Longhorns' season with the Longhorns' first trip to Starkville as a member of the SEC.
A year ago, the Mississippi State Bulldogs managed to move the ball on Texas, but the Longhorns managed to do enough to get the job done. In the offseason, MSU added more than 50 players through the portal, allowing second-year coach Jeff Lebby to reload and try to improve on their last-place finish...
The Texas Longhorns played one of their tightest games of the year in 2024 against Diego Pavia and the Vanderbilt Commodores. The dynamic playmaker is back for another year, with coach Clark Lea hoping to build on the most successful Vanderbilt season since Jame Franklin was the coach.
What can we expect from Pavia Year Two and can the defense improve enough to help him?
The summer visit window is closed, and the Texas Longhorns have secured four elite defensive linemen: three interior and one pass rusher. It's clear that Texas has a focus on the trenches for 2026, prioritizing several key pieces on both sides of the ball.
How does this class set Texas up for the future, both near and far-term?
Perhaps the biggest blemish on the Texas Longhorns' 2024 season is the pair of losses to the Georgia Bulldogs. The first, in Austin, was not as competitive as Texas fans hoped. And while the second meeting, this time in the SEC Championship, was closer, Georgia still came out on top.
What can Texas fans expect from the Bulldogs as they face in the late-season matchup that will likely have both SEC Championship and CFP implicati...
For the fourth time in the last five years, the Texas Longhorns have claimed the Director's Cup as the top athletic department in the nation. It was tighter than it probably should have been, with the men's basketball team and baseball teams underperforming, but the track and field teams did just enough to secure a 1.5-point win over the USC Trojans.
We dive into what this says about Texas athletics and the impact of their ...
Our season preview series continues this week, covering the Texas Longhorns' Week 11 opponent, the Arkansas Razorbacks. The long-time rivals meet for back-to-back seasons for the first time since the 2003 and 2004 seasons, the first time as conference opponents since the days of the Southwest Conference.
The Razorbacks return an experienced quarterback in Taylen Green, but are turning over most of their other offensive players ...
The Texas Longhorns went to Oklahoma City with an opportunity to exorcise several demons, knocking off Oklahoma and Tennessee to set up this weekend's matchup with old rival Texas Tech and star pitcher NiJaree Canady. It took all three games of the championship series to get it done, but the Longhorns hoisted their first-ever softball trophy in Oklahoma City.
With that win locked up, we also brought in Brett Wilkinson, the man ...
We are rapidly approaching the college football season and so it is time to begin our season preview series. Every offseason we go through the Longhorns' schedule week-by-week in reverse order with someone who knows the opponents best.
This week, we welcome Cameron Ohnysty to help us dive into the 2025 Texas A&M Aggies. We talk about Year 2 of the Elko Era, what we can expect from the offense, and how they plan on replacing...
The Texas Longhorns saw their spring sports head in different directions over the weekend, with the baseball team bowing out of the postseason at home while the softball team advanced to the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City.
The baseball team, the No. 2 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament couldn't overcome the pitching of the UTSA Roadrunners -- leaving runners on base while also struggling in the field.

While the Texas Longhorns' baseball team made an early exit from the SEC Tournament, Texas still managed to grab the No. 2 seed in the NCAA Baseball tournament. That not only affords them friendly confines for the first two weekends of the tournament, but also grants them a favorable draw en route to Omaha.
The ladies are heading to the Women's College World Series, despite drama to open the Super Regional against the Clemso...
The 2025 Texas Longhorns' baseball team went into Norman and clinched the SEC regular season title with a series win over the Oklahoma Sooners. That win guarantees them a double-bye in the SEC Tournament, putting them two steps closer to achieving their season goals.
The softball team hosted and dominated the Austin Regional, setting up a Super Regional matchup against the No. 13 Clemson Tigers. The winner will head to Oklahoma...
The Texas Longhorns had their worst combined weekend on the diamond of the year, with the baseball team dropping the weekend series, while the softball team was run-ruled out of the SEC Tournament by the Texas A&M Aggies.
How do they rebound as they both still have championship aspirations for the remainder of their seasons?
The Texas Longhorns have positioned themselves to once again bring home the Director's Cup, awarded to the top-performing athletics department in the country. To help us break down where Texas stands and how things can close out, we welcome in Brett Wilkinson, the man behind Director's Cupdates.
We also dive in on the bad weekend for Texas baseball and how softball has gotten their groove back.
