The Texas Longhorns are a perennial powerhouse — one of the elite college football programs in the nation. On November 27, 2008, the Longhorns passed Notre Dame as the second winningest college football team, having won 831 games to Notre Dame's 830.[1] They are one of only five programs to have attained 800 all-time victories. The Longhorns have won four Division I-A national championships — in 1963, 1969, 1970, and 2005. Two Longhorn players have won the Heisman Trophy, college football's highest individual honor: Earl Campbell (1977) and Ricky Williams (1998). In 2008 the Texas Longhorn football program kept its record NFL Draft streak alive by having at least one player selected in 71 consecutive drafts dating back to 1938.[2] Texas football plays its home games at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, located on-campus in Austin. The current head coach of the team is Mack Brown, who is under contract through the 2016 season. When Brown retires, he will be succeeded by Will Muschamp, who was named coach-in-waiting in November 2008.

His offensive coordinator is Greg Davis and his defensive coordinator is Will Muschamp. On January 16, 2008, former UT quarterback Major Applewhite accepted a job with Texas as assistant head coach and running backs coach.[3] [edit] Facilities Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium with a view of the GodzillatronThe Longhorns play their home games in Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium (formerly just "Memorial Stadium" and "Texas Memorial Stadium"). The stadium is located on the campus of The University of Texas in Austin, Texas. The current official stadium capacity is 94,113,[4] making it the largest football venue in the state of Texas,[5] the largest in the Big 12 Conference,[6] and among the largest on-campus stadiums in the NCAA. The stadium has been expanded several times since its original opening, with a major expansion completed in 1999. The stadium has been undergoing additional renovations and expansion since 2005. Stage one was completed in 2006 and consisting mainly of updates in accordance with newer fire safety codes. Stage two began in 2006 and consists of seating expansion and addition of new facilities in the north end zone. Those seats were completed for the 2008 season, though some work is still ongoging to the exterior facade and meeting rooms located inside the expansion.[7] Renovations began on the stadium November 14, 2005, two days following UT's last home football game of the 2005 season. The improvements scheduled were completed before the 2006-2007 football season, and included additional seating[8] and the nation's first high definition video display in a collegiate facility nicknamed "Godzillatron."[9] With the new bleacher seating section added behind the south endzone, the stadium's stated capacity for the 2006 season was 85,123.[10] An attendance record of 89,442 people occurred on September 9, 2006 for the Longhorns' 24-7 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes. That set a new record for the greatest number of people ever to gather for a football game in the state of Texas.[11] It also set a record for the number of people watching a game at any stadium in the Big 12 Conference.[12] Due to the north end zone expansion the Longhorns have broken this record several times in 2008. An attendance record of 98,053 people occurred on August 30, 2008 for the Longhorns' 52–10 win against Florida Atlantic University. That set a new record for the greatest number of people ever to gather for a football game in the state of Texas.[13] It also set a record for the number of people watching a game at any stadium in the Big 12 Conference.[14] The record was twice beaten later in the year, 98,383 saw the #1 ranked Longhorns defeat the #11 ranked Missouri Tigers[15] and again when 98,518 saw UT beat the #6-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys. [edit] History The University of Texas began playing football in 1893 and has traditionally been considered a college football powerhouse, having earned four National Championships, including one to conclude the 2005-2006 season. From 1936 to 2006, Longhorn football teams have finished their seasons ranked in the top ten of at least one of the two major polls 25 times, or more than one-third of the time, according to the

Associated Press. The Longhorn football program experienced sustained success under the guidance of legendary head coach Darrell Royal, who led the Longhorns to three National Championships (in 1963, 1969, and 1970) during his twenty-year career with the Longhorns (1957-1976). The 1969 Longhorn football team was the last Division I team to win a national championship without an integrated roster. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the program was somewhat less successful, but Texas has since returned to prominence in college football, finishing in the top six of the AP and coaches' polls in 2001, 2002, 2004, and 2005. Two Texas Longhorn running backs have won college football's most prestigious individual award, the Heisman Trophy: Earl Campbell (1977) and Ricky Williams (1998). Eleven Longhorns have been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame[16], while four are enshrined in the NFL Hall of Fame.[17] Other Longhorn players have also received recognition for their performance. The Longhorns entered 2008 as the third most victorious program in college football history, in terms of both total wins and win percentage.[18] As of the end of the 2006 season, the Longhorns' all-time record was 810-312-33 (.716). Only Notre Dame and the University of Michigan had won more games and a greater percentage of games played than Texas,[19] which recorded its 800th victory with the Longhorns' 41-38 win over the USC Trojans in the 2006 BCS National Championship Game at the Rose Bowl. On November 8, 2008, Texas' 45–21 victory over Baylor was the 829th win for the UT football program, which tied Notre Dame for 2nd in the list of total wins.[20] Notre Dame lost later the same day, so the tie will last until at least November 15th, 2008. The Longhorns are currently coached by Mack Brown, who came to Texas after being head coach at North Carolina. [edit] Texas Longhorns under Mack Brown Main article: Texas Longhorns football under Mack Brown Mack Brown has been the head football coach for Texas since 1998. From 1998 through the 2006-2007 season, the Longhorns had a 93-22 (81%) win-loss record. In his first six years at Texas, Brown had a winning record but he had not managed to win the Big 12 conference or to lead the Longhorn into a Bowl Championship Series game. He was often lauded for his recruiting while being criticized for failing to win championships. That changed with the 2004 Texas Longhorn football team (11−1, 2005 Rose Bowl Champions) who played in the 2005 Rose Bowl against the Wolverines of the University of Michigan. The game was the first meeting between the two storied teams and the Longhorns' first trip to the Rose Bowl. In a classic game that featured five lead changes and three tie scores during the course of play, the Longhorns defeated the Wolverines 38-37 on a successful 37-yard field goal by place kicker Dusty Mangum as time expired. It was the first time the Rose Bowl had ever been decided on the closing play, and it earned the Longhorns a top 5 finish in the polls. Three ex-Longhorns from the 2005 Rose Bowl team — Cedric Benson, Derrick Johnson, and Bo Scaife — were selected in the 2005 NFL Draft. The 2005 Texas Longhorns in the "I formation" against Colorado in the 2005 Big 12 Championship GameBrown followed up the strong 2004 season on the field with an extremely successful 2005 recruiting season by securing the top-ranked recruiting class (the 2005 recruiting season is for players entering the University in Fall 2006). With the exception of Cedric Benson, Derrick Johnson, and Bo Scaife, Texas returned most of their key players from 2004–2005, including red-shirt Junior Quarterback Vince Young. The 2005 Texas Longhorn football team (13−0, BCS National Champions) was given a pre-season #2 ranking (behind defending National Champions University of Southern California) by Sports Illustrated magazine, and was also ranked second in the AP and USA Today coaches pre-season polls. They maintained those rankings throughout the entire 2005–2006 season. Texas and USC ended up winning out their seasons and faced each other in the National Championship, which Texas won, 41-38. At the conclusion of the 2005-2006 season, Sports Illustrated issued a special commemorative edition that featured Vince Young shouting in triumph amidst a storm of multi-colored confetti. Features in the special edition included a story on Vince Young's Glory Days by author Tim Layden, as well as a story dissecting How the Rose Bowl was won by Austin Murphy. The issue was on sale nationwide alongside the regular edition of the magazine, which also featured the Rose Bowl on the cover. The 2006 Texas Longhorn football team (10−3, 2006 Alamo Bowl Champions) hoped to repeat as national champions. The Texas Longhorns returned several offensive (7) and defensive (7) starters from their National Title team, but quarterback Vince Young elected to go the NFL which left freshman Colt McCoy as the starting quarterback. Texas opened the season with a win at home against North Texas. Their second game, against Ohio State, was one of the most anticipated college football games of the regular season.[21][22][23] The Longhorns lost that game, but then defeated Rice, Iowa State and Sam Houston State by a combined score of 145-24. After defeating number 14th ranked Oklahoma Sooners 28-10 in the Red River Rivalry, it appeared that the Longhorns were a near-certainty to once again play in the Big 12 Championship game for a chance to enter the

Bowl Championship Series. However, in Texas' next game, against unranked Kansas State, Colt McCoy suffered a neck stinger injury while rushing for a touchdown, and in the Lone Star Showdown rivalry game against unranked Texas A&M, he was knocked out of the game by a helmet-to-helmet tackle. Partially due to these injuries, Texas lost both games, 45-42 and 12-7 respectively, their first consecutive losses in over five years. As a result, the Oklahoma Sooners won the division and played in the Big 12 Championship game. The Alamo Bowl, with the 5th pick of Big 12 conference teams selected the Longhorns to play against unranked Iowa who had placed 8th in the Big Ten conference. McCoy was able to return at quarterback, and the Longhorns narrowly defeated the Iowa Hawkeyes 26-24. The 2007 Texas Longhorn football team began play on September 1, 2007. Texas entered the 2007 season ranked third in the all-time list of both total wins and winning percentage.[24][25] They were ranked in the Top 10 by numerous pre-season polls. For instance, a pre-season ranking by ESPN writer Mark Schlabach had the Longhorns ranked eighth;[26] Rivals.com had them at ninth.[27] College Football News[28] and Real Football 365[29] both had Texas ranked third. Texas started out 4–0, but with sloppy playing, edging out 4 unranked teams. Texas came particularly close to being upset when the beat unranked UCF, 38–35. Texas then suffered losses to Kansas State (41–21) and Oklahoma (28–21). Texas then surged back into form, winning 5 games in a row. At 9−2, they were poised to gain a BCS bowl berth. However, a 30–38 loss to Texas A&M dashed these hopes. The Longhorns finished the season 10–3 with a victory in the 2007 Holiday Bowl.[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48] In January 2008 NBC Sports listed the Longhorns among the seven top candidates for best team of the decade.[49] The 2008 team will begin their season against Florida Atlantic University, who won the 2007 New Orleans Bowl and set a record for the shortest amount of time between starting a football program and securing a bowl victory.[41] On November 18, 2008, The University of Texas announced that Longhorn defensive coordinator Will Muschamp would eventually succeed Mack Brown as head football coach. They agreed in principle to increase Muschamp’s salary to $900,000. There was no timetable set for Brown’s departure, and both Brown and UT said they expected Brown to stay a long time.[50] [show]v • d • eTexas Longhorns football Stadium – Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium Culture – Hook 'em Horns • Hex Rally • Longhorn Band • Bevo • Hook 'em (mascot) Rivalries – Red River Shootout • Lone Star Showdown National Championships 1963 • 1969 • 1970 • 2005 Conference Championships 1913 • 1914 • 1920 • 1928 • 1930 • 1942 • 1943 • 1945 • 1950 • 1952 • 1953 • 1959 • 1961 • 1962 • 1963 • 1968 • 1969 • 1970 • 1971 • 1972 • 1973 • 1975 • 1977 • 1983 • 1990 • 1994 • 1995 • 1996 • 2005 Seasons 2004 • 2005 • 2006 • 2007 • 2008 [edit] Championships [edit] National championships (4) Year Coach Selector Record 1963 Darrell Royal AP, Coaches 11-0 1969 Darrell Royal AP, Coaches 11-0 1970 Darrell Royal Coaches 10-1* 2005 Mack Brown AP, Coaches 13-0 Texas lost to Notre Dame 11-24 in the Cotton Bowl, they dropped to #3 in the final AP Poll, but remained #1 in the UPI Poll which had its final rankings released prior to the bowl season.

The football game between the University of Texas and Oklahoma is commonly known as the "Red River Shootout" and is held annually in Dallas, Texas at the Cotton Bowl. Dallas is used as a "neutral site" since it is approximately mid-way between the two campuses. The stadium is split with each team having an equal number of supporters on each side of the 50 yard line. Texas state flags fly around the Longhorn end of the stadium and Oklahoma state flags fly around the Sooner end. The Red River Shootout originated in 1900, while Oklahoma was still a territory of the United States, and it is the longest-running college-football rivalry played on a neutral field.[59] Since 2005, the football game has received sponsorship dollars in return for being referred to as the "SBC Red River Rivalry"[60] (changed to AT&T Red River Rivalry in 2006 when SBC changed its corporate name to AT&T), a move which has been criticized both for its commercialism[61] and its political correctness.[62] The University of Texas holds its annual Torchlight Parade during the week of the Red River Rivalry.[63] In recent years, this rivalry has taken on added significance, since both football programs have been highly ranked and compete in the same division of the Big 12 conference. In 2005, the Dallas Morning News did an opinion poll of the 119 Division 1A football coaches as to the nations top rivalry game in college football. The Texas-OU

game was ranked third.[64] The game typically has conference or even national significance. Since 1945, one or both of the two teams has been ranked among the top 25 teams in the nation coming into 60 out of 65 games. As of January 2007, Texas leads the all-time series 58-40-5, with a 45-35-4 edge in Dallas, and currently has a one-year winning streak. Four of the last six showings featured one of the participants in the Bowl Championship Series National Championship Game (2000, 2003-2005), including national titles won by Oklahoma in 2000 and by Texas in 2005. Four times during 2000-2004, a loss to Oklahoma was what kept Texas from playing in the Big 12 Championship Game. [edit] Texas A&M The Texas/Texas A&M rivalry has given rise to several stereotypes on both sides: Aggies are generally portrayed as ignorant conservative farmers, while Longhorns are portrayed as highbrow and arrogant city-slickers.[65] Save the 1995 game when A&M's probation restricted the Aggies from being televised, the annual football game with Texas A&M traditionally takes place on Thanksgiving Day or the day after each year. The Longhorns have a record of 73-36-5 against the Aggies. In an attempt to generate more attention for the rivalry in sports other than football, in 2004 the two schools started the Lone Star Showdown,[66] a trial two-year program. Essentially, each time the two schools meet in a sport, the winner of the matchup gets a point. At the end of the year, the school with the most points wins the series and receives the Lone Star Showdown trophy. Aspects of the rivalry include: Each school mentions the other in its fight song (Texas with "and it's goodbye to A&M" in Texas Fight,[67] and the Aggies singing about Texas for essentially the entirety of the Aggie War Hymn[68]) The football series between the two universities is the third longest running rivalry in all of college football.[69] Since 1900, the last regular season football game is usually reserved for their matchup.[70] Each school has elaborate pre-game preparations for the annual football clash, including the Aggie Bonfire[71] and the Hex Rally[72] Texas has a unique lighting scheme for the UT Tower after wins over Texas A&M.[73] In the past, mischief has preceded the annual game, such as "kidnapping" each other's mascots.[74][75] Primary Texas Longhorn Rivalries: All-Time Records[76] Name of rivalry Rival Games played First meeting Last meeting UT win UT loss Ties Win % Lone Star Showdown Texas A&M Aggies 115 1894 11/25/08 won 49-9 74 36 5 .640 Red River Rivalry Oklahoma Sooners 103 1900 2008 game; won 45-35 58 40 5 .563 [edit] Others Many other schools consider UT among their biggest rivals. This list includes most other colleges in Texas, but especially Baylor[77] (located just up Interstate 35 from UT), Texas Tech,[78] and Houston.[79] Texas is also the biggest rival of the University of Arkansas[80] which may be attributed to their long tenure as the two eponymous state schools of the former Southwest Conference, or to the 1969 game between the two, which decided the national championship in favor of the Longhorns.[81][82] Texas maintains a somewhat one-sided series with the Rice Owls. The series, which began in 1914, is the fourth oldest (by number of games) in Texas history.[83] The two schools were once conference foes in the Southwest Conference[84][85] and the rivalry has continued despite the usual mismatch in ability on the field. The Longhorns' 28 consecutive victories from 1966–1993 represent the sixth longest single-opponent winning streak in college football. The disparity was alluded to by President John F. Kennedy when he compared the challenge of going to the moon to the challenge faced when Rice played Texas.[86] Since the formation of the Big 12 the two teams have met intermittently. Texas won the most recent match-up, in the 2008 game, 52–10.[87] [edit] Head Coaches Coach Years Record Mack Brown 1998 - Current 111 - 25 (as of 10/31/08) John Mackovic 1992 - 1997 41-28-2 David McWilliams 1987 - 1991 31-26 Fred Akers 1977 - 1986 86-31-2 Darrell K.
