The Longhorn Republic

The Texas Longhorns nearly made it through the offseason without the typical bad news, but seemingly saved it up for one weekend. After transfer wide receiver Agiye Hall's arrest for misdemeanor vandalism, the Longhorns saw two key pieces go down with season-ending injuries. Offensive lineman Junior Angilau and wide receiver Isaiah Neyor will both miss the entirety of the 2022 season with non-cont...

We continue working through the Texas Longhorns' schedule and enter the final three games, starting with the TCU Horned Frogs. For the first time in two decades, the Horned Frogs opened fall camp without Gary Patterson on the coaching staff. In his place is Sonny Dykes, after moving across town from SMU and bringing much of the staff and recruiting class with him. The philosophies from years past...

The Texas Longhorns are officially starting practice and the pads come on as of Tuesday, which means we are rapidly moving toward separation in camp. Steve Sarkisian spoke to the media Monday ahead of the first full-pads practice, updating the public on where he thinks the team stands heading into the next critical phase of preparation. How do his thoughts on the quarterbacks, offensive line, and...

We've reached week nine of the Texas Longhorns' 2022 season, bringing us to the Kansas State Wildcats. It's year four of the Chris Klieman era and KSU has high hopes after its second 8-5 season of the post-Bill Snyder era. They bring in Nebraska transfer Adrian Martinez, who will operate the offense under new offensive coordinator Collin Klien. As an interim, Klien led the Wildcats to a massive 42...

The Texas Longhorns were in need of some depth and talent in the wide receiver room, to help supplement the players already in the room. Coming in to help Xavier Worthy and Jordan Whittington, last year's top receivers, were Isaiah Neyor, Agiye Hall, and Tarique Milton from the transfer portal, as well as the likely emergence of Brennen Thompson into the mix. Texas has seemingly raised the floor f...

The Texas Longhorns run the gauntlet to start the regular season, going eight games without a bye week. They end that run against a team likely to be in contention for a conference championship, the Oklahoma State Cowboys, a team that erased a double-digit lead a year ago to beat the Longhorns in Austin. The Cowboys lost several key pieces of a team that was a play away from a conference champions...

It's pretty easy to say that the biggest strength the Texas Longhorns possess offensively is the parade of talent housed in the running backs room.  The group is headlined by Bijan Robinson, who fully stepped into his talent a year ago and emerged as one of the top running backs in the country. In the second year under Steve Sarkisian, Robinson has the opportunity to solidify himself as the top RB...

We continue our trek through the Texas Longhorns' 2022 schedule, this time diving in on the Iowa State Cyclones. Texas has no end of trouble with Iowa State in recent memory, dropping three straight to the Cyclones -- including a trip to the woodshed last year in Ames. But the 2022 Cyclones are looking for answers of their own after losing the long-time core of their offense, quarterback Brock Pur...

THe Texas Longhorns joined the rest of the Big 12 in Arlington for the annual gathering of coaches, players and press to preview the upcoming football season. While Oklahoma Sooners' coach Brent Venables struggled to land his metaphors, Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy was forced to answer questions about the outgoing teams. The Texas contingent feels that Texas made the right choices in recru...

We continue our journey through the Texas Longhorns' schedule, reaching the Red River Showdown and the Oklahoma Sooners. It's a new era in Norman, with Brent Venables taking over for Lincoln Riley, who dramatically left for the USC Trojans - taking a bit of talent with him. Joining Venables is offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby, coming off of two seasons as the offensive coordinator at Ole Miss, and...

The month of June was great for the Texas Longhorns on the recruiting trail, landing 12 of their 18 overall commitments, including No. 1 overall player Arch Manning. Manning's commitment started a wave of momentum, propelling Texas to nine other commitments -- including adding two additional five-star players. The commitments shot Texas up as nigh as No. 2 in the recruiting rankings, but movement...

The journey toward the 2022 Texas Longhorns' season continues with a preview of the West Virginia Mountaineers, a team that handed Texas an eight-point loss a year ago and sealed a losing season in the first year of the Steve Sarkisian era. West Virginia will look quite different from a year ago, with new coordinators on both sides of the ball and rotating talent -- both transfers in and out -- th...

We've reached the conference portion of the 2022 Texas Longhorns seasons, so that means we get to bring on one of our favorites, Albie Shore of Tortillas and Takes to help us preview the Texas Tech Red Raiders. It's the first year under new head coach Joey McGuire, who has taken the recruiting world by storm and has tech positioned well heading into the fall. The Red Raiders return their quarterba...

Last week, 2023 quarterback Arch Manning sent a shockwave through college football when he announced his commitment to the Texas Longhorns via social media. National media, outside of the sports realm, picked up on the commitment that quickly dominated the sports news cycle. Then, within 72 hours of his commitment, Texas and the college football world saw the actual impact of the commitment, with...

The Texas Longhorns are heading toward the 2022 football season and we had the opportunity to sit down with former Texas running back Fozzy Whittaker, who has spent the last four seasons as an analyst on the Longhorn Network after finishing his NFL career. Fozzy was a member of the team from 2008-2011, playing a role in the 2009 run at a national championship. We ask Fozzy what he thinks it's goin...

The Texas Longhorns made it back to Omaha but didn't spend much time there, leaving after losing their first two games against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Texas A&M Aggies. Both Texas starters struggled, while the offense failed to capitalize on baserunners -- which is a losing prospect in any environment. A day after the season ends, the coaching staff is already undergoing changes, wit...

As we inch closer and closer to the Texas Longhorns’ kickoff, we continue our summer previews with the marquee non-conference matchup, the Alabama Crimson Tide. The newly sold-out game will mark the first time the two teams have squared off since the National Championship game that seemingly set both programs on opposite trajectories. Alabama has been the class of college football for the last 12...

In spite of a Friday afternoon scare, the Texas Longhorns are heading back to Omaha for the Men's College World Series -- trip No. 38 in the 75-year history of the event. Texas, in spite of troubles in the regular season, is exactly where everyone expected them to be, it just took a bit of a different journey to get there. Now they sit in a bracket with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, who knocked o...

We are inching ever closer to the start of the 2022 football season, which means we are starting our week-by-week breakdowns of the Texas Longhorns schedule. With 86 days left before kickoff, we start with the first opponent on the schedule, the Louisiana Monroe Warhawks, who are coming off of what could be considered a resurgent season despite the 4-8 record. Under new head coach Terry Bowden, th...

The Texas Longhorns took care of business in both the Austin Regional and in Oklahoma City, continuing what is turning out to be a very successful semester for the spring sports. While there were fireworks in several other regionals, the baseball team seemingly cruised to a super regional berth, with a three-run win over the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs sandwiched between two lopsided wins over the Air...

We start off the show with a celebration, as the Texas Longhorns claimed their second national championship this week thanks to the men's golf team knocking off the Arizona State Sun Devils in the match play championship. That makes the third national title in two weeks for Texas and the fourth of the academic year, with still more teams in title contention. Next, Mike Roach makes his long-awaited...

The Texas Longhorns came up one game short of a conference championship on Sunday, falling to the Oklahoma Sooners in the conference tournament, However, thanks to a solid run to end the regular season and in the conference tournament, as well as the decision to announce the regional hosts before the conference tournament was over, Texas found itself hosting a regional once again. Bringing the Air...

The Texas Longhorns women's tennis team ran a gauntlet of three top-5 teams this weekend to clinch their second-consecutive national championship. What makes it even sweeter is that they got revenge on the team that knocked them out of the indoor national championship tournament, the Oklahoma Sooners. That not only puts another trophy in the hall of fame, but gives Texas another big win toward its...

The Texas Longhorns took to the field this weekend and came home with three conference championships, both track and field teams, as well as the rowing team, continued a record of dominance dating back years with their respective championships. The track and field teams now have claimed 11 indoor and outdoor championships in the four years under coach Edrick Floreal, while shattering records at es...

For the second year in a row, the Texas Longhorns have a quarterback battle on their hands. Sophomore quarterback Hudson Card is locked in a battle with Quinn Ewers, who took a long and winding path to end up at Texas after earning one of the highest evaluations of a high school quarterback of all time. Card, no slouch of his own, was the No. 59 player in the country a few cycles ago, meaning Stev...
