“Longhorn Nation... we’re baaaaack.”
Sam Ehlinger’s proclamation just moments after the Texas Longhorns’ Sugar Bowl win over the Georgia Bulldogs was made in good fun and celebration, but it certainly isn’t a statement that those around the Moncrief — Neuhaus Athletic Center live by, or even give much thought to.
But why not celebrate Texas’ return to the national stage, boldly stand behind the statement that the Longhorns losing ways are in the past, and that this proud and once prominent program is back to its true form?
In the never-complacent mind of Texas head coach Tom Herman, it’s because claiming that Texas is back is essentially saying that Texas is content and where it wants to be.
