Texas Longhorns

Texas Longhorns take their name from the Longhorn cattle that played a big part of the development of Texas, and are now the official "large animal" of the State of Texas.

Texas Longhorns Varsity sports

A charter member of the Southwest Conference until its dissolution in 1996, the Texas Longhorns now compete in the Big 12 Conference (South Division), as a member of the Collegiate Association. The school's colors are officially Orange and White, with Burnt Orange — also known as Texas Orange — being the specific shade of orange used. The University of Texas Longhorn Band performs the alma mater ("The Eyes of Texas") as well as the university fight song ("Texas Fight") at various sporting events.

Over the years, Longhorn sports teams have won 47 total national championships, 39 of which are national championships. The University of Texas currently fields a varsity team in eight men's sports and 10 women's sports.

Texas Longhorns Football

Two Texas Longhorn running backs have won college football's most prestigious individual award, the Heisman Trophy: Earl Campbell (1977) and Ricky Williams (1998). Eleven Longhorns have been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, while four are enshrined in the Hall of Fame.

Texas is the second ranked Division I-A program in college football history, in terms of total wins, having passed Notre Dame. Only the University of Michigan has won more games and a greater percentage of games played than Texas. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the program was somewhat less successful, but the Longhorns have since returned to prominence in college football, finishing in the top six of the AP and coaches' polls in 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2008 and 2009.

The University of Texas team plays home games in Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium with a seating capacity of over 100,000. The University completed a $27 million expansion and renovation to the south end zone facilities in August 2009 which added 4,525 permanent bleacher seats and changed the playing surface to FieldTurf. With the new permanent bleacher seating section added behind the south end zone and the total remodeling of the north end zone completed in 2008, the stadium's official capacity now stands at 100,119.

Texas Longhorns under Mack Brown

Mack Brown has been the head football coach for Texas since 1998. From 1998 through the 2008–2009 season, the Longhorns had a 124–27 win-loss record. In his first six years at Texas, Brown had a winning record but he had not managed to win the Big 12 conference or to lead the Longhorns into a Bowl Championship Series game. He was often lauded for his recruiting while being criticized for failing to win championships.

That changed with the 2004 Texas Longhorns football team who played in the 2005 Rose Bowl against the Wolverines of the University of Michigan. The game was the first meeting between the two storied teams and the Longhorns' first trip to the Rose Bowl. In a classic game that featured five lead changes and three tie scores during the course of play, the Longhorns defeated the Wolverines 38–37 on a successful 37-yard field goal by place kicker Dusty Mangum as time expired. It was the first time the Rose Bowl had ever been decided on the closing play, and it earned the Longhorns a top 5 finish in the polls.

Brown followed up the strong 2004 season on the field with an extremely successful 2005 recruiting season by securing the top-ranked recruiting class. The 2005 Texas Longhorns football team was given a pre-season #2 ranking (behind defending National Champions University of Southern California) by Sports Illustrated magazine, and was also ranked second in the AP and USA Today coaches' pre-season polls. They maintained those rankings throughout the entire 2005–2006 season.

Texas and USC ended up winning out their seasons and faced each other in the National Championship, which Texas won, 41–38. At the conclusion of the 2005–2006 season, Sports Illustrated issued a special commemorative edition that featured Vince Young shouting in triumph amidst a storm of multi-colored confetti. Features in the special edition included a story on Vince Young's Glory Days by author Tim Layden, as well as a story dissecting How the Rose Bowl was won by Austin Murphy. The issue was on sale nationwide alongside the regular edition of the magazine, which also featured the Rose Bowl on the cover.

Texas Longhorns 2006

The 2006 Texas Longhorns football team hoped to repeat as national champions. The Texas Longhorns returned several offensive (7) and defensive (7) starters from their National Title team, but quarterback Vince Young elected to go the NFL which left freshman Colt McCoy as the starting quarterback.

Texas Longhorns 2007

The 2007 Texas Longhorn football team began play on September 1, 2007. Texas entered the 2007 season ranked third in the all-time list of both total wins and winning percentage. They were ranked in the Top 10 by numerous pre-season polls. For instance, a pre-season ranking by ESPN writer Mark Schlabach had the Longhorns ranked eighth; Rivals.com has them at ninth. College Football News and Real Football 365 both had the Longhorns ranked third. The Longhorns come into the season ranked fourth in both the Coaches' Poll and AP Poll. The Longhorns failed to make good on that ranking, however, dropping to number 20 in the BCS standings after losing to conference foes Kansas State, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M.

Texas Longhorns 2008

The 2008 Texas Longhorn football team entered the season with freshmen athletes at many positions, no definite starting running back and appeared to lack talent at key positions.

Texas Longhorns 2009

The 2009 Texas Longhorn football team entered the season with a veteran quarterback in Colt McCoy and high hopes of winning a National Championship.
