But as much or more than anything, UT is about one thing: Longhorn football.In a state where footballPop Warner to proranks somewhere among God, country, and pecan pie, UT football is a religion all its own. For Bobby Hawthorne and millions of other fans, services mean Longhorn football games, where a steer named Bevo presides over a congregation of diehard orangebloods, where the worlds largest bass drum keeps time for a hymn called The Eyes of Texas, where some of the games greatest players and coaches have delivered the third most wins in Division I NCAA history.Longhorn Football traces the teams history from its origins in 1893 through the 2006 Rose Bowl, in which Texas won its fourth national championship. The heroes of the last 113 seasons include Dana X.

In a voice that is equally reverential and iconoclastic, Hawthorne also details the offthefield traditionsBevo, Big Bertha, The Eyes of Texas, and the Hook em Horns sign, among othersthat make Longhorn football more than just a game. He delves into what makes the rivalries with Oklahoma and Texas A&M so intense and nominates a group of alltime Longhorn greats at every position.
