Our Sports Superfan Says:
When you think of the Big 12 conference, you almost automatically think of the Texas Longhorns. The Longhorns, a true college football powerhouse, are among the sport's most popular and rooted-for teams. Why so popular? When you carry a record of eight straight seasons winning ten games or more, it's not too difficult to get fans to root for you!
As a matter of fact, the Texas Longhorns are among the top three winningest college football programs ever, having won over 800 games since their first season in 1893! Over the years the Longhorns have experienced tremendous successes, finishing among the top ten teams nationally almost two dozen times, and winning four national titles. Famous Longhorns include Heisman Trophy winners like Earl Campbell and Ricky Williams, as well as other football greats like Jerry Sisemore, Doug English, Tom Landry, Eric Metcalf, and Vince Young.
Longhorns home games at DKR Memorial Stadium feature over 80,000 energized fans and a state-of-the-art High Definition (HD) jumbotron, the first in college football. More excitement is on the way, with stadium expansion promising to increase the fan count to over 90,000!
