Texas Coach Steve Sarkisian Speaks On Idea of Longhorns ‘Revenge Tour’
After blowing out their arch-rival Oklahoma Sooners 49-0 within the Purple River Showdown on Saturday, the Texas Longhorns at the moment are set for his or her second ‘revenge sport’ of the 2022 season.
A yr in the past in Ames, the Longhorns have been embarrassed 30-7 by the Cyclones – a sport that resulted within the notorious Bo Davis bus video.
And now, with the Cyclones coming to Austin subsequent Saturday, the Longhorns are out to show as soon as once more that they’re a unique crew than they have been in 2021.
“We didn’t play nice final yr towards Iowa State at their place,” Texas coach Steve Sarkisian mentioned on Monday. “We performed respectable within the first half, and actually obtained overwhelmed within the second half. Didn’t play very nicely within the third quarter. I believe our guys are hungry to exit and play a greater model of soccer this yr.”
In a vacuum, the Iowa State loss was one of many worst losses the Longhorns have suffered since 2015 after they misplaced to TCU 50-7 in Fort Price.
However from a broader spectrum, it was simply one among seven losses and 6 blown leads that the Longhorns want that they had again, in a season that was stuffed with disappointment and anguish for the gamers and coaches.
“The skin world makes it sound like this was a tough yr final yr on them,” Sarkisian mentioned. “It was a reasonably arduous yr on us. I believe lots of guys on our crew, there’s lots of unhealthy tastes of their mouth from the way in which a few of these video games went final yr and the alternatives that in the end fell on us that we let go of.”

With all that mentioned, Sarkisian believes that this sport is much less about getting ‘revenge’ on the cyclones for the embarrassing loss, and extra about him and his crew proving to themselves that may be pretty much as good as they’re able to beating.
“I believe the gamers are actually shopping for into the concept that, let’s go play the way in which we’re able to enjoying, and let’s go end the way in which we’re able to ending,” Sarkisian mentioned. ” So, I do not actually suppose it is about anyone else, as it’s extra about us. We need to exit and present what we’re able to doing.”

The Texas A&M Aggies continue to have a busy offseason after finishing the first regular season under head coach Mike Elko.
Texas A&M hosted 2026 five-star offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell for a visit over the weekend and clearly impressed one of the best players in the recruiting class. Cantwell told On3’s Chad Simmons that he “likes the Aggies a lot.”
“The visit was good,” Cantwell told Simmons. “I enjoyed College Station and getting to see everything I needed to see. … They made me feel like a priority this weekend. … The development, culture, coaching staff and continued interest make the Aggies a contender. We will see how the official visits shake out, but I like the Aggies a lot.”
Cantwell, a product of Nixa (Missouri), is the No. 1 offensive tackle and the No. 3 overall player in the 2026 class, per 247Sports’ recruiting rankings. Name a program and he’s likely received an offer from them. He’s also taken unofficial visits with Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Oregon, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, TCU and Tennessee.
Both of his parents were Olympians, so it’s not too surprising that 247Sports scouting analyst Gabe Brooks described Cantwell as having “a stellar athletic profile.”
“Tall, big-framed offensive tackle prospect with a stellar athletic profile and pedigree who’s an advanced mover at this stage of development,” Brooks wrote.
If the Aggies can beat out the rest of the country and land a commitment from Cantwell at some point in the future, he’d join a Texas A&M 2026 recruiting class that features four-star talents like receiver Aaron Gregory, quarterback Helaman Casuga, tight ends Xavier Tiller and Caleb Tafua, edge rusher Samu Moala, defensive lineman Trashawn Ruffin and receiver Madden Williams along with three-stars like safety Markel Ford and cornerback Ryan Gilbert.

As North Texas wraps up the weekend, there’s a noticeable shift in the weather, leaving behind the icy remains of recent storms.
Drivers faced hazardous travel conditions from Wednesday night until Saturday, facing snow, sleet, black ice and slushy roads. Fortunately, the temperatures have stabilized, hovering in the 50s, making travel more manageable.
Sunday will feel warmer in the sun, and the mild weather will continue throughout the week. However, residents should be prepared for a notable change ahead.
Cold air is expected to return late next Sunday and continue into the following week. While it is still too early to provide exact temperatures, it is wise to start preparing.
There is a possibility of mixed precipitation, including snow or ice. However, since this forecast is quite far out, many factors could change.
The model-projected temperatures and the widespread nature of this upcoming Arctic airmass are likely to make national headlines next weekend. All trends point to a significant wave of cold air sweeping across the south and southeast.
Although the forecast is still uncertain, the Euro Weather Model — one of the most reliable weather prediction models worldwide — has consistently shown the potential for wintry precipitation returning to Texas with this next cold snap.
It will certainly be cold enough, but North Texas residents should monitor trends to determine if any precipitation is likely.
