Despite inconsistencies connected with the renovations at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center that forced the closure of the pool throughout their summer practice schedule, the Longhorns are poised for an exciting season. Texas travels this weekend to compete against the University of California in their first true contest of the season.

Texas returns home Saturday to face Texas Tech after a two-game road trip, riding a three-match win streak with much of the Longhorns’ recent success a product of their balanced play.

Texas has proven that it has the ability to score in games against Navy, Virginia and the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee.

With the direction Texas football is headed lately, retiring Colt McCoy’s number might be the brightest spot of the season.
