Former sports editor Stefan Scrafield says goodbye to The Daily Texan.

The Longhorns were outscored 48-10 to end their season with a 6-6 record.

Senior defensive end Cedric Reed, before even enrolling at Texas, had already had a taste of the turmoil that would define his time in Austin.

Despite his team’s struggles and the possibility of missing a bowl game, Strong’s players continue to preach their admiration for the new regime.

For Joe Wickline, this weekend’s trip to Stillwater, Oklahoma, will be somewhat of an awkward homecoming.

Like Steve Spurrier’s visor, Bill Snyder’s pullover, or Bear Bryant’s fedora, Texas head coach Charlie Strong’s game-day attire is most recognizable by one thing: the mock turtleneck.

As far as adversity goes, it’s tough to imagine a group of Longhorns that has been through more than the current fifth-year seniors.

Texas was held off the scoreboard for the first time since 2004 on Saturday.

The Longhorn defense will face a test this weekend against Kansas State's senior quarterback.

The Texas defense struggled mightily Saturday, allowing the Cyclones to rack up 524 yards and almost win at DKR.

The Longhorn special teams have been far from special in 2014.

Texas lost 31-26 to Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on Saturday.

As a true freshman, Heard obviously hasn’t had a chance to prove himself at the college level, but, considering his high school dominance, it’s hard to believe he isn’t at least worth a look.

With high-profile athletes bringing the topic of domestic violence into the national eye, Strong has been lauded for what he’s done to combat misbehavior among athletes at the college level.

A stud coming out of high school, senior linebacker Jordan Hicks faced new, defining challenges at Texas.

Sophomore quarterback Tyrone Swoopes shows improvements in his second start.

Heading into the third week of his first season in Austin, Charlie Strong will likely only have five of his 11 projected preseason starters playing against UCLA, and the offense looks hopeless.

BYU picked the Longhorns apart to the tune of a 41 - 7 blowout victory at DKR.

There is no Longhorn position group as interesting as Texas’ linebacking corps.

It took just one game, and possibly just one hit, for Texas junior quarterback David Ash’s concussion symptoms to return in 2014.

It’s rare for defensive tackles to get much media attention. The big men in the middle are generally relied upon to stuff the run and occupy blockers, two fundamentals that don’t exactly get fans jumping out of their seats. But, when they combine to weigh over 600 pounds and bench press more than 900, it’s hard to ignore them.

Gone are the days of seeing head coach Mack Brown standing on the sidelines of Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in his usual pose — with his hands on his knees, nervously awaiting Texas’ next play. 

The Longhorns head baseball coach Augie Garrido, the winningest coach in NCAA history, will be staying in Austin at least a little while longer.

The Longhorns’ journey to this year’s College World Series didn’t start on Valentine’s Day in California, when Texas opened its season against the California Golden Bears.

For the first time since 2011, the Texas Longhorns will play in the College World Series.

Led by a complete game shutout from sophomore pitcher Chad Hollingsworth, Texas beat Texas A&M to win the Houston Regional Championship.

Texas head coach Augie Garrido sat in the Longhorn clubhouse at Disch-Falk Field last Tuesday, fielding questions from the media, just a few minutes after his team had suffered a 7-2 loss at the hands of the Rice Owls.

Quarterback David Ash suffered a fracture in his left foot and will undergo surgery on the foot next week, knocking him out for the remainder of spring practice.

Just when it looked like a Jonathan Holmes air ball had Texas and Arizona State bound for overtime, sophomore center Cameron Ridley picked up the loose ball, looked toward the rim and put up a prayer.

The Iowa St. Cyclones slipped past the Baylor Bears, 66-60, in the Big 12 tournament championship game on Saturday night.

The Longhorns were blown out by the Baylor Bears in their Big 12 semi-final matchup at the Sprint Center on Friday night.

On Saturday night, the Longhorns found a way to slow down the Big 12’s second leading scorer, Juwan Staten, en route to a victory over West Virginia. Three days later, they’ll have to stop the only man ahead of Staten if they want the same result.

It didn’t matter if he pulled up in transition, off the pass on the wing or spotted up in the corner, the results were all the same for Javan Felix. 

The Longhorns’ offense struggled mightily Tuesday night, due in large part to TCU’s zone defense.

Not a single player on this season’s Longhorn roster knows what it feels like to play a game as a ranked team.

 Texas pulled off yet another major upset on Saturday, knocking off No. 24 Baylor, 74 – 60 in Waco.

The scene at the Frank Erwin Center was a familiar one for the Longhorns on Tuesday night.

A new year is upon us and with it comes plenty of excitement within the Texas athletic department.

A mere commitment was all head coach Rick Barnes asked of his young team at the start of the season. 

The Big 12 is a three-way race between Oklahoma State, Baylor and Texas but Oklahoma is still trying to get its fourth straight 10-win season. 

Oklahoma State proved why it was the preseason favorite to win the Big 12 by pounding Baylor in Stillwater last Saturday and re-claiming the top spot in these power rankings. 

After playing each of its first four games at the Frank Erwin Center, the Longhorns head to Kansas City, Mo., Monday for their CBE semifinal matchup against the BYU Cougars.

Baylor and Texas remain atop this week's Big 12 Power Rankings while Kansas State cracks the Top 5 as the Wildcats are riding a three-game win streak and Texas Tech, who has lost three in a row, continues to struggle. 

Its jerseys are red, white and blue. The team shows up on the scoreboard as USA, and with the way Southern Alabama shot against Texas in the first half, it might have been the Dream Team.

With only one upperclassman on scholarship and an unheralded freshman class, this year’s Longhorn basketball team is an underdog.

President William Powers Jr.  and the UT System Board of Regents are set to begin the search for a replacement for retiring Texas men’s head athletic director DeLoss Dodds.

Baylor is leading the nation in total offense and gets another easy opponent this week in Louisiana-Monroe before beginning Big 12 play. The Bears appear to be Oklahoma State's biggest threat in the conference. 

Oklahoma State remains atop the Big 12 Power Rankings while Baylor, following its second straight blowout win, jumps all the way to No. 2. Texas is No. 5.

Despite not naming a starting quarterback yet, Oklahoma State is the preseason favorite to win its second Big 12 title in three seasons. Whoever wins the starting quarterback job between Clint Chelf and J.W. Walsh will be leading a strong squad.

Texas couldn’t have asked for much more from its first two home games of the season. Coming off a 6-1 blowout of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in its only preseason contest, the Longhorns kicked off the 2013 season in impressive fashion, earning a win and a draw in its first pair of regular-season games this weekend.

A Longhorn win would tie them with the Sooners in the Big 12 and give them an opportunity to put together a win streak.

The presents under the Christmas tree weren’t the only surprises for the Texas women’s basketball team.

The Longhorn’s got back on track with a 79-40 blowout win over the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions.

OK State coaches Kurt Budke and Miranda Serna died late Thursday night when the private plane carrying them crashed.

It wasn't a pretty win, but the Longhorns left the Frank Erwin Center with their first victory of the season on Monday night.

Stanford is the highest ranked team to visit the Frank Erwin Center for a home opener in the team’s 37-year history.

For the first time since 2001, the Texas women’s golf team was victorious in the season’s opening tournament.

They say the only thing harder than winning a championship is defending one. For the first time since 2004, the Texas women’s golf team will be faced with such a challenge.

With only six women competing in Friday evening’s eight events, it was a quality over quantity approach that moved Texas into sixth place by the end of the second night of the NCAA swimming and diving championships.

The Longhorn divers will look to build upon their post-season success at this weekends’ Zone D diving meet.
