Can we all take a moment... (none / 0)

...to be jealous of Texas fans?  It's one thing to have both basketball and football teams ranked, or even in the top ten, but the top two?!  Lucky bastards.

Indeed... (none / 0)

Could both win a National Championship?

Louisville is in the premier rankof both sports... (none / 0)

But Texas is opposite of Louisville... Louisville hasn't been in the football limelight enough and has a tendency to blow it. Though they definitely have some talent... see their drop in rankings after a loss a couple weeks ago.

I think that of Texas in basketball... I don't think Texas has it in them to go that far; they have a tendency to flame out in the tournament. Though they definitely have talent, and I could eat my words.

Texas @ Iowa State (none / 0)

I am drooling for that game. National ESPN audience as a very good Longhorns team goes into one of the toughest arenas in basketball.

Baseball too (none / 0)

Texas also won the Baseball national championship a few months back.  It must be a great time to be a Longhorn.
