AUSTIN, Texas -- At a press conference held Wednesday afternoon, University of Texas head football coach Charlie Strong announced that despite the team's disappointing 5-7 record, the Longhorns will be bowling this postseason after all.
"I know the team hasn't lived up to our high expectations this year," said Strong. "But we're excited to announce that the Longhorns are going bowling this December."
According to Strong, the players and coaches were "really pumped" to appear at the prestigious Fun Times Bowl later this month. Fun Times Bowl Committee Chairman Doug Rootie expressed similar excitement to host the Longhorns.
