AUSTIN, Texas — Riding a three-game losing streak and their NCAA Tournament hopes fading fast, the Texas men’s basketball team needed Saturday’s 82-78 win over No. 15 Kentucky in the worst possible way. Coach Rodney Terry watched his club battle back from a five-point deficit with 3:51 remaining to end the skid. Texas (16-10, 5-8 SEC) also got one step closer to the likely magic number of eight conference wins needed to feel good about its March Madness chances on a night when freshman phen

AUSTIN, Texas — Even though Texas couldn’t go through a fully padded camp practice until Tuesday, developing and maintaining a physical edge and playing with high levels of physical and mental toughness were arguably the primary themes of the Longhorns’ first five practices. Steve Sarkisian referenced physicality or toughness 13 times in the opening statement of his post-practice media availability on Monday.

We’ve discussed this on our YouTube channel and the OTF Forum, but I love Miller

I'm elated to be a part of On Texas Football. My conversations with Bobby and Gerry recently reminded me of the early days of building the Texas site for 247Sports. What made those days exciting (and, for me, when working in the market was the most fulfilling) was that the bottom line was about building a community where fans who bled burnt orange wanted to be. That’s what excites me about continuing to write about, analyze, and report on the Longhorns with OTF. August 2010 wasn’t the

The NCAA just picked a fight with the University of Tennessee over NIL. And Tennessee has volunteered for the rest of the country to fight back. The Vols' response? The school president wrote a scathing rebuttal on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the attorney generals of the states of Tennessee and Virginia joined together to sue the NCAA over its NIL policy. The funny thing here is, those attorney generals weren't defending the institutions. No, they were defending the rights of the indiv
