If Texas DE Breckyn Hager gets a haircut, Longhorns fans will be very happy. Here's why

Title hair

Action: Texas senior defensive end Breckyn Hager says he won't cut his shoulder-length blond hair until the Longhorns win the Big 12 title.

Reaction: OK, the Internet memes were not kind if predictably funny (Rapunzel, anyone?). And Hager's statement was more a verbal, vivid image than a solemn vow. But that's nothing new. Hager is among the most public emotional of the Texas players, wearing his heart on his sleeve and taking losses personally. And that's not a bad thing on a team that maybe could have used a little more of it during the recent past.
