Texas Will Look To Change the Fortune From Last Year's Fall

Last season, the University of Texas was rated #1 in the country for Men's college basketball.  They were considered one of the favorites for the title.  All of a sudden, the team had spiralled downward and lost 8 games down the stretch.  They were granted the #8 seed and lost to #9 seed Wake Forest in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.  They started 17-0 and finished 24-10.  They went 7-10 after being named #1.  So, as they climb up the rankings, can they change last season's misfortunates of the lofty ranking?  Let's hope so.

Texas Longhorns Climbing Up Rankings

The University of Texas's Men's Basketball team is climbing up the rankings.  The 18-3 Texas Longhorns are now #3 in the country, in both the Coaches Poll and the AP Top 25.  They only trail #1 Ohio State and #2 Kansas, although they beat Kansas last week.  They are on quite a roll and they can play with anyone in the country.  It was a weird week in college basketball, as 17 of the 25 teams in the Poll last week suffered a loss.  Keep it Goin Texas!

Texas Longhorns News

As of January 28th, the Texas Longhorns Men's Basketball Team is #8 in the Coaches Poll.  They have a 17-3 record and 5-0 record in the Big 12.  Last week, they beat the #3 Kansas Jayhawks on the road to end the Jayhawks 69 home game winning streak.  They have shown they can play with anyone in the country and I'm excited for the rest of the season. 

On the football side, Texas Longhorn football continues to bring in recruits.  Multiple outlets have the Texas Longhorns with one of the strongest recruiting classes for the 2011 season.

The Texas Longhorns Women's Basketball team is 13-7 on the season and 2-4 thus far in the Big 12.

Everyone knows that Texas is the state for football.  Year in and year out we have some of the biggest and best recruits.  The Texas Longhorns have some of the best talent to pick from and that is a big reason why the Texas Longhorns thrive in college football.  The Texas Longhorns have also had some very talented basketball and baseball teams.  I have been a follower of all three of these sports for many years.
