We reached out to Wescott Eberts and Anthony Rizzo (nope, not that one I don’t think), writers at Burnt Orange Nation - SBnation’s Texas Longhorns blog.
Wescott is an Indiana native who grew up a huge basketball fan of Illinois, where his parents met in graduate school. He became indoctrinated into Texas football after starting at UT in 2002. He has written for Burnt Orange Nation since 2008 and started running the site full time in 2018. Anthony is currently a college student from the southeast Michigan area and has been a diehard Texas Longhorns fan for practically his entire life — ever since Vince Young beat his beloved Wolverines in the Rose Bowl in 2004.
