One athlete it seemed everyone wanted to talk to during the Big 12 Conference’s Media Days July 14 was Texas junior running back Bijan Robinson, the media’s selection as the Preseason Offensive Player of the Year after a remarkable 2021 season.

At one point, Robinson led the nation in rushing and was talked about as a Heisman trophy contender. While those comments are appreciated, Robinson views what…

He noted he could have kept what was installed by former head coach Tom Herman or he could…

It’s a period that began with a simple tweet from Isidore Newman senior quarterback Arch Manning declaring his commitment to head coach Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns on June 23. Since then, a firestorm of media coverage on all levels talked about Manning’s commitment to the Longhorns and asked the dreaded question fans have come to hate — does this mean the Longhorns…
