April 23, 2024 05:00 - 56 minutes - 78.1 MBThe Texas Longhorns closed out 2024 spring practice with the annual Orange and White game. While presumptive starter Quinn Ewers saw minimal action, the offenses still stole the show led by a pair of young guns. All-world recruit Arch Manning and early enrollee Trey Owens led the offenses to a highlight-filled Saturday where the offenses showed off the high ceiling for next season.
April 16, 2024 - Softball Continues to Cruise
April 16, 2024 05:10 - 49 minutes - 68.7 MBThe Texas Longhorns continue to blaze through the Big 12 with a sweep of the Baylor Bears, continuing to take a hold on the conference. With several ranked teams losing over the weekend, Texas looks to be in control of both the conference and their path to a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Softball tournament.
April 9, 2024 - Texas softball knocks off Oklahoma
April 09, 2024 04:49 - 45 minutes - 62.2 MBThe Texas Longhorns softball team did what was previously unthinkable, beating the modern Oklahoma Sooners' softball team in a conference series. Mike White and his team leaned on incredible fielding and pitching to get the job done, keeping them in the race for the Big 12 title. What does that mean for the remainder of the regular season?

April 03, 2024 14:25 - 56 minutes - 77 MBAfter yet another trip to the Elite 8 under Vic Schaefer, the Texas Longhorns found their stay in the NCAA Tournament cut short at the hands of the NCState Wolfpack.

March 26, 2024 15:08 - 51 minutes - 70.7 MBAfter both teams put up dominating performances in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, their paths diverged. The Texas women continued their dominating ways and advanced to the Sweet 16 for the third time in four years under Vic Schaefer. A combination of suffocating defense and offensive rebounding led the ladies to the second weekend of the tournament and, hopefully, an even deeper run. The men's offensive struggles continued against Tennessee, with turnovers and a lack of consisten...
March 22, 2024 - Texas Cruises by CSU
March 22, 2024 15:10 - 41 minutes - 57.6 MBThe Texas Longhorns opened the NCAA Tournament Thursday with a convincing win, setting up a matchup against former coach Rick Barnes and the Tennessee Volunteers. It wasn't the prettiest game either team had played, with both the Longhorns and the Rams ratcheting up the defensive pressure. When forced to take outside shots, both teams showed why they're often called "low-percentage" shots.
March 20, 2024 - The Ladies Lead the Charge in March
March 20, 2024 15:45 - 55 minutes - 76.6 MBThe Texas Longhorns are one of just 22 teams with both the men's and women's team playing in the Big Dance, but the ladies lead the charge with their No. 1 seed, hosting in Austin. The men, after a disappointing trip to the Big 12 Tournament, fell to a No. 7 seed and will take on Colorado State, the winner of the play-in game against UVA. Not to be left out, the football team took the field for the first time on Tuesday, getting their own March madness going.

March 14, 2024 20:45 - 54 minutes - 75.4 MBBoth the basketball teams took a trip to Kansas City and had vastly different outcomes. The ladies went in and took care of business, claiming the conference title on their way out of the Big 12, despite the challenges they've faced this year. Rodney Terry's team had the opposite experience, looking convincing early but struggling to hold onto the lead and losing in their first shot in Kansas City. Connect with the show on Twitter...

March 08, 2024 15:53 - 53 minutes - 73.6 MBThe Texas Longhorns started the NFL Combine with the second-most players in attendance and ended the weekend with multiple breakout performances. The Longhorns' big weekend seemingly culminated in Xavier Worthy's record-breaking 40-yard dash, a performance that caught NFL writers' and players' attention on social media. So what does that mean for the Longhorns as the NFL Draft approaches and how many first-rounders do we think hail from the University of Texas?
February 29, 2024 - Baseball Keeps a Clean Sheet
February 29, 2024 15:15 - 49 minutes - 68.7 MBThe Texas Longhorns had a wildly successful weekend on the diamond. The baseball team completed a weekend shutout for just the third time in school history, while the softball pitching continued its hot streak from the circle.

As the seasons get underway, we will quickly find out what these teams are made of with elite matchups hitting in the first month of the season.

February 8, 2024 - Women's Basketball is on a Roll
February 08, 2024 16:11 - 37 minutes - 51.4 MBThe Texas women's basketball team has seemingly rebounded and could potentially deliver on the lofty preseason expectations, despite losing stars to injury. With their recent streak, the Longhorns are right back in contention for the conference title but still have some climbing to do. How did Vic Schaefer and his squad pull off back-to-back ranked wins in a tough conference and what will it take to reach their goals? Connect with the show on Twitter...

January 24, 2024 - MBB Gaining Momentum with Ranked Wins
January 24, 2024 18:42 - 56 minutes - 77.5 MBThis time last week, the Texas men's basketball team was coming off of a pair of embarrassments -- a blown lead against UCF and a Horns Down meltdown from head coach Rodney Terry. How did they respond? A pair of ranked wins, including one on the road against No. 11 Oklahoma to move out of the basement of the conference and directly into the NCAA Tournament conversation. Before the wins over No. 9 Baylor and the Sooners, Texas appeared to be on the outside looking in and in peril of a dis...
January 17, 2024 - Texas locks down Steve Sarkisian
January 17, 2024 16:46 - 58 minutes - 79.9 MBComing off of the most successful season this side of 2009, the Texas Longhorns and Chris Del Conte extended head coach Steve Sarkisian's contract another four years through the 2030 season. While the contract details have yet to be released, it's safe to assume that Sarkisian is getting a sizeable raise, with Texas getting Sark's services for a relative discount -- as the third-best paid coach in the Big 12. For context, if Sarkisian was in the SEC for the 2023 season, he would have been N...

January 10, 2024 15:02 - 42 minutes - 59.1 MBThe Texas Longhorns, both the men and the women, have officially started conference play with similar results. Splitting their first two games is less than ideal for both squads, but they have a chance to rebound.

December 26, 2023 20:24 - 33 minutes - 46.5 MBThe Texas Longhorns are headed to Louisiana to take on the Washington Huskies in the Sugar Bowl, kicking off the Longhorns' first trip to the College Football Playoff. We're a year removed from these two teams squaring off in the Alamo Bowl, with both squads looking significantly improved in the year that has passed. Texas is stronger and more stout on defense, while the Huskies are an even more refined version of the offensive juggernaut they were in the Alamo City. How do the two ascen...
December 21, 2023 - Early Signing Day and Volleyball Championship
December 21, 2023 17:24 - 57 minutes - 78.4 MBIt was a big week for the Texas Longhorns, with the volleyball team demolishing the top teams in the B1G Ten on the way to its second-consecutive NCAA Championship. Early in the season, it felt like this Texas team may not have been up to the lofty standards set by previous iterations, but when push came to shove they were elite and proved beyond any doubt that they are the best in the nation. Early Signing Day is also upon us, with Texas finding the next crop of talent to take with them i...
December 13, 2023 - Texas volleyball reaches the Final Four
December 13, 2023 06:00 - 50 minutes - 69.7 MBAfter a somewhat rocky start to the year, the Texas Longhorns volleyball team has caught fire at the right time and has made it back to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four. To get there, Texas had to survive a dramatic outing against a tough Tennessee Volunteers squad and get revenge on the Stanford Cardinal, who swept them earlier in the season. Texas did just that and is now heading to Florida to try and defend its title. How do the Longhorns match up with the field and who needs to play we...
December 6, 2023 - Texas wins the Big 12, CFP Berth
December 06, 2023 15:53 - 59 minutes - 82.1 MBThe No. 3 Texas Longhorns did what they needed to to in Arlington, putting together a lopsided win over the Oklahoma State Cowboys and proving their place among the four best teams in college football. Quinn Ewers and the offense were electric from the start, while the defense continued the standard of excellence we've come to expect from that group all year. The difference between this game and many others was the Longhorns' ability to close out their opponent. Now, despite some controve...

November 30, 2023 06:00 - 1 hour - 87.6 MBThe No. 7 Texas Longhorns got an unexpected addition to their revenge tour, a matchup against the Oklahoma State Cowboys for the Big 12 Championship. Recent history against Mike Gundy and the Cowboys has not been pretty for Texas, with the Pokes coming out ahead in seven of the last ten matchups, including the previous two meetings. The Cowboys lost a ton to the transfer portal but managed to do enough, thanks in large part to running back Ollie Gordon, II, to find their way back to Arling...

November 28, 2023 14:47 - 34 minutes - 47.2 MBThe No. 7 Texas Longhorns closed out their final regular season in the Big 12 in dominant fashion, blowing out Texas Tech by 50 points to secure their spot in the conference championship game.

November 21, 2023 15:13 - 54 minutes - 62.2 MBThe No. 7 Texas Longhorns continue their final trek through the Big 12, heading to Ames for one last tilt against the Iowa State Cyclones -- a place they haven't had significant success recently. Texas managed to flip the script, thanks to some helpful inspiration from Iowa State's players, and came away with a comfortable victory against the Cyclones. With the win, Texas keeps itself alive for both the conference and CFP race, with one game left on the calendar. How did Texas find succes...

November 16, 2023 14:14 - 55 minutes - 75.6 MBThe No. 7 Texas Longhorns are faced with yet another tough test on their return to relevance. A win this week gives them their first 10-win regular season since 2009 and clinches a spot in the Big 12 championship game. Standing in the way of that is a foe that has won three of the last four games against the Longhorns -- the Iowa State Cyclones. Matt Campbell's squad is surging and is a part of that massive tie for second place in the conference and a spot in Arlington. A win over Texas ...

November 14, 2023 06:00 - 43 minutes - 60 MBThe No. 7 Texas Longhorns once again built up a big early lead befoe watching it dwindle against the TCU Horned Frogs, but did enough to hold off the comeback and come away with a win.

November 7, 2023 - Texas survives Kansas State
November 07, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 63.2 MBThe No. 7 Texas Longhorns got off to about as dominant start as anyone could've dreamed in a Top 25 matchup -- holding a 320 to 33 yard advantage with a minute left in the first half... Maalik Murphy and the Texas offense sputtered in the second half and gave the defense impossibly short fields to defend, allowing Kansas State to force OT. With their backs against the wall and up by 3, the defense unleash an epic goal line stand to keep their conference and postseason goals alive. Connect...
November 2, 2023 - Texas prepares for Kansas State
November 02, 2023 05:00 - 39 minutes - 54.5 MBThe No. 7 Texas Longhorns are seemingly in control of their own destiny for a spot in the Big 12 Championship and presumably a chance at their first berth in the College Football Playoff.

October 31, 2023 15:26 - 44 minutes - 61.5 MBThe No. 7 Texas Longhorns went into the day against the BYU Cougars with questions at the quarterback position as Maalik Murphy took over for an injured Quinn Ewers. As Murphy adjusted to the speed of the game, the defense stepped up and shut down BYU and once Murphy got his feet underneath him, the Longhorns ran away with a big win. What does this mean for the offense going forward and how do we feel about Texas's chances to make the Big 12 Championship game? Connect with the show on ...

October 26, 2023 11:45 - 43 minutes - 50.2 MBThe No. 7 Texas Longhorns continue to march their way toward a rematch with OU in Arlington and next they welcome the BYU Cougars to Austin. The last time the Longhorns faced BYU, it was an embarrassing way to kick off the Charlie Strong era, a portent of things to come for the next three years. Texas and BYU are both in different positions now, with the Longhorns prepared to take off to the SEC and the Cougars finally making their way to the Big 12 as a part of the conference's reload eff...

October 17, 2023 - Women's Basketball preview
October 17, 2023 14:41 - 41 minutes - 56.4 MBIn just three seasons under Vic Schaefer, the Texas Longhorns accomplished something that hadn't happened in two decades -- the women's basketball team claimed the Big 12 championship. Now, the expectations are higher than ever, with the most talented group that's been on campus since hall-of-fame coach Jody Conradt took Texas to the conference title and beyond. Returning all-conference players from a year ago, with talented additions coming in from the transfer portal and high school ranks...

October 12, 2023 14:08 - 41 minutes - 56.6 MBWe took advantage of the football bye week and dove in on the 2023-24 Texas Longhorns men's basketball team. After keeping the team on the right track a year ago and earning his spot as the men's basketball coach, Rodney Terry takes the reins for the start of the season and hopes to improve on a deep run that had a disappointing end a year ago. He needed to reload and did just that, through some key transfers and late additions from the high school ranks. Connect with the show on ...
October 10, 2023 - Texas can't get out of its own way, falls to Oklahoma
October 10, 2023 13:55 - 51 minutes - 70.4 MBThe Texas Longhorns had a shot to win the game late, but couldn't overcome the early struggles and the tenacious Oklahoma offense, falling in the Red River Rivalry. The defense had an outing to forget, thanks in large part to the dynamic play of Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel, while Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers had to play lights-out late to make up for early struggles. With all of that said, Texas still was in the game and even had a chance for a last-second miracle score, but couldn...

October 05, 2023 18:48 - 51 minutes - 70.8 MBThe No. 3 Texas Longhorns have another chance to tick a box in the "Texas is getting back to where it belongs" checklist with a win over the Oklahoma Sooners.

With their toughest matchup coming up, will they be able to keep up the pace against the Longhorns? Texas, coming off of a blowout win over Kansas without the services of quarterback Jalo...

October 03, 2023 14:15 - 39 minutes - 53.9 MBThe No. 3 Texas Longhorns continued their march through the Big 12 one last time with a lopsided win over the Kansas Jayhawks. Texas benefitted from an unexpected scratch of Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels, who was struggling with back tightness before the game Saturday. Backup Jason Bean, an elite athlete in his own right, could not keep the offense on pace, while the Longhorns found their rhythm on the ground thanks to the offensive line and Jonathon Brooks. We dive in on what happene...
September 28, 2023 - Previewing the Kansas Jayhawks
September 28, 2023 16:12 - 41 minutes - 57.5 MBThe No. 3 Texas Longhorns are continuing their final march through the Big 12, taking on the resurgent Kansas Jayhawks -- who are on a surge of their own. Led by Jalon Daniels, the Jayhawks have become one of the top offenses in the country, leaning on a balanced attack to keep defenders off-schedule and guessing. A year ago, Texas managed to shut that offense down while Daniels recovered from an injury, but the signal-caller is healthy and ready to pace the Jayhawks. A strength-on-strengt...
September 26, 2023 - Texas Boat Races Baylor
September 26, 2023 15:05 - 47 minutes - 65.8 MBThe No. 3 Texas Longhorns went to Waco and did what good teams do against outmatched opponents, looked dominant on both sides of the ball and came away with a lopsided win. Whether it is the defense keeping Baylor from scoring and handling quick changes with relative ease, the continued emergence of Jonathon Brooks as a running threat, or Quinn Ewers returning to form and showing off why NFL Scouts like him, the Longhorns looked the part on Saturday. What can we take away from that domina...
September 21, 2023 - Texas kicks off conference play against Baylor

For the last five seasons, Texas and Baylor have both held serve at home, with Texas closing out the Bears to end the 2022 regular season in front of the crowd at DKR. Baylor may be having a down year, but the Bears know that they can salvage a terrible start, climb back to .500, and hold bragging rights over a resurgent Texas for years to come with a win this week. ...
September 19, 2023 - Late Surge Puts Texas Past Wyoming
September 19, 2023 16:23 - 39 minutes - 54 MBThe Texas Longhorns had to shake off a little Alabama hangover when the Wyoming Cowboys came to Austin, hoping to keep their trajectory moving in the right direction. It was uncomfortable for a while, tied 10-10 going into the fourth quarter, but the Longhorns once again turned on the jets late and pulled away from the Cowboys. Texas has seemingly become a second-half team, somewhat in an effort to overcome the slow starts they've suffered so far this year. Connect with the show on ...

September 12, 2023 - Texas Knocks off Alabama in Tuscaloosa
September 12, 2023 14:36 - 44 minutes - 60.8 MBAfter a week's worth of doubts, the Texas Longhorns went into Tuscaloosa and knocked off Nick Sabana and the Alabama Crimson Tide. Whether it was the performance of the quarterback Quinn Ewers, dominance in the trenches, or turning over Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe, Texas seemed to be a match for the annual power. What does this mean for Texas as they prepare for the rest of the regular season and their future in the SEC? Connect with the show on Twitter...
September 7, 2023 - Alabama Crimson Tide Preview
September 07, 2023 14:50 - 50 minutes - 68.9 MBThe Texas Longhorns are on the road for the first time this year, and leaving the state of Texas for the first of two times this year. Texas has revenge on their minds after the Tide came to Austin a year ago and squeaked out a one-point win in DRK. However, the Longhorns will have to improve on several facets on offense if they're going to pull off the upset. Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook. Intro and Outro: ...
September 5, 2023 - Rice Owls Recap
September 05, 2023 13:48 - 44 minutes - 61.8 MBThe Texas Longhorns finally kicked off the 2023 season and came away with a decisive victory over the Rice Owls, exposing a few things Texas still needs to work on throughout the season. While the defense played lights out, including a near-record performance against the run, some of the offensive issues that plagued Texas a year ago again showed up in the passing game. What can Texas do to shore that up as they head to Tuscaloosa? Connect with the show on Twitter...
