Longhorns Discuss New Newtowrk with Rivals in Big 12

The Texas Longhorns will be launching their new network this season.  They are entering a 20 year 300 million dollar deal that gives them a clear advantage over their rivals.  Longhorn officials have been working with the NCAA to get some rules set up.  The Longhorns are planning on televising some high school games on their network.  they have also said that those broadcasts will having nothing promoting the Longhorns or anything.

This sounds dangerous.  Texas seems like it will have a huge financial advantage over it's competitors.  Not only that, with the new network, all young Texas kids will see on TV is Longhorns and will only want to go there.  What do I say to the other schools?  Tough luck.  This is the way it works we are the Longhorns and we don't care.

Garrett Gilbert or a Back Up?

Hmmm very interesting situation in Austin, Texas regarding the quarterback situation.

Garrett Gilbert really had a nice performance, or at least promising performance when he was thrown under fire in the first quarter of the BCS National Championship Game.  He threw two touchdowns to go along with four interceptions.

Then came the 2010 season.  Expectations were high for Gilbert but he did not deliver at all for the Longhorns, leading them to a 5-7 season.  He didn't show a lot of flashes of greatness either.

Gilbert is going to have to play very well, very early if he hopes to continue to quarterback this team.  Casey McCoy is hot on his trail.

That's right, a Longhorns Blogger is born. I have decided to take my Longhorns ramblings to the world wide web and share my feelings about the Texas Longhorns with anyone willing to read this. I follow Longhorns basketball, baseball and football...not always in that order. Keep checking back for my Longhorns Roundup!
