The Texas Longhons was about the ealy stars that played really good it starts in the 1890s when Texas wins their fist game in 1893. 1900s when texas wins their first southwest confrence championship!and it also tells you about what teams they won over the years like for example they won over USC Trojans in 2005 and Texas beats the Trojans 41-33 and thats when they are the natinal champions for the fourth time. but it is a good story but I would most likely recamend it to Texas fans because thats all it talks about. but it is very knowledgeable about the texas Longhorns it has very intresting facts its good for the neophyte Texas fan.

The Texas Longhorns are a football team in the Big 12 Conference. The Longhorns started playing football in the early 1890s. In 2004, the Longhorns defeated the Michigan Wolverines in the Rose Bowl. And in 2005, they beat the USC Trojans in the BCS National Championship.
