But here it is! I'm not even a Texas Lognhorns fan, but seems destined to be entertaining to follow, they also have a wealth of young talents to watch.
Does this team goes all the way to the BCS championship?

http://www.mackbrown-texasfootball.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/102408aad.htmlPriest Holmes to be honored as Big 12 Legend
Former Texas RB Priest Holmes will be recognized in the second quarter of Texas' game against Oklahoma State on Saturday.
Oct. 24, 2008
AUSTIN, Texas -- A star from each of the Big 12 schools will be honored as part of the league's inaugural Legends program later this fall at the Championship Game in Kansas City. The University of Texas has selected running back Priest Holmes as the Longhorn representative.
“I’m definitely honored,” Holmes said. “I believe you move forward and you sometimes don’t get a chance to smell the roses of things you’ve done in the past. I’m definitely thankful that The University has taken time out to recognize my accomplishments, and it gives me a chance to take a second and realize that I did some good things while I played.”
Holmes rushed for 1,276 yards and 20 TDs during his four years as a Longhorn (1992-94, ’96). His career was highlighted by a 120-yard, three-TD performance in helping Texas upset No. 3 Nebraska, 37-27, in the inaugural Big 12 Championship in 1996. Holmes also was named Most Valuable Player of the 1994 Sun Bowl, which saw Texas defeat No. 19 North Carolina, 35-31, after rushing for 161 yards and four TDs.
“(The 1996 Big 12 Championship) was interesting, because when we went into that game, Nebraska had one of the top defenses,” Holmes said. “They were coming in where no running back had rushed for over 100 yards, but at the end of the day, I believe we stayed focused and had enough offensive weapons and enough defensive weapons to balance that game out. When it came down to who wanted it the most, I believe it was The University of Texas.”
An 11-year NFL veteran, Holmes won a Super Bowl as a member of the Baltimore Ravens in 2000 before moving on to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2001. During his career, Holmes posted four 1,000-yard seasons. He went to the Pro Bowl from 2001-03, a stretch in which he averaged 1,530 rushing yards and 659 receiving yards a season. In 2001, Holmes rushed for 1,555 yards and caught 62 passes for 614 yards. He rushed for a career-high 1,615 yards and 21 TDs and caught 70 passes for 672 yards in 2002. In 2003, he held the NFL record for most TD rushes in a season with 28. That season, he logged 1,420 yards on the ground and 690 receiving yards on a career-high 74 catches. For his career, Holmes rushed for 8,172 yards and 86 TDs on 1,780 carries (4.6 ypc), while catching 339 passes for 2,962 yards (8.7 ypc) and eight TDs.

you are not alone about that my friend! He is absolutely a big playmaker freak who deserves to go very early till next years draft.
What do you think of our young wide receive corps with Brandon Collins, James Church Doll, Mr. Williams?
Brandon Collins has for me to see a truly promising career ahead of him. The same can be said about Malcolm.
Hook Em' Horns!

Hey how about some more people jump on the Texas bandwagon. I bet you were a USC fan earlier this year too. Try sticking with a team.

It has nothing to do with bandwagons. He stated he's not a longhorn fan, but that he finds them entertaining. I'm not a UT fan either, but I certainly appreciate good football. That's exactly what this team is playing, unlike der U.
I do not quite understand your personal attack on me?! I did not said I was a Texas Longhorn fan?! I lie emphasis on good football, I also think that we lacked a thread on the team who was No 1 in the BCS poll.
Otherwise, I do not have any college team for your information. Trying to follow the most teams, and college football in its entirety.
If I was a bandwagon fan, I wouldn't have root for Dolphins the last couple of years
Apparently he didn't notice you were from Europe. CPH...Copenhagen?I do not quite understand your personal attack on me?! I did not said I was a Texas Longhorn fan?! I lie emphasis on good football, I also think that we lacked a thread on the team who was No 1 in the BCS poll.

I am a TX fan....I always kinda was, but, have become one more since Mac came from UNC (NC Home state)...I don't keep track as much as I should because I'm generally hung over on saturdays, but, I'm glad to see them doing well. Mac has matured alot as an HC, and, I wish him well. I actually like most of the TX teams.
Another victory for Texas Longhorns in there search of glory.
"Colt McCoy throws for 391 yards and two touchdowns as Texas hands the Cowboys their first defeat."
That boy can play!
It was however not in any way a sure victory, a narrow victory at 28-24.
