Coming from decades of lackluster performances in the 80's and 90's, the Longhorns (led by head coach Mack Brown since 1998) have successfully regained their reputation this decade as the team to beat.

With recent appearances in the Top Ten in major polls, 2006 marked the Texas Longhorn's 800th win when they beat favored USC at the 2006 Rose Bowl.

This being Texas, the team's home field is the monster Darrel K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin — now even bigger following 2005-2007 renovations that included the nation's first HD video screen, a.k.a. the "Godzillatron."

In 2010, a Longhorns' slump seemed to have returned the team to the sloppy performances of yesteryear. Will 2011 return them to their most recent glory? Stay tuned.

In fact, you won't be able to miss their performances on the comeback trail this year, what with a new TV deal with ABC and ESPN featuring in-your-face network coverage throughout the 2011 season.
