    UT Men Dominate Big 12

    The University of Texas men's athletics program has just completed by
    far the best single-season performance in Big 12 Conference history.
    The Longhorns accomplished a Big 12 first by having all nine men's
    sports programs place in the top two in their respective conference
    final standings or championship event.
    They also won the National Championship in football, the biggest sport
    of them all, by going 13-0 and defeating two-time defending National
    Champion Southern California in the Rose Bowl, thus ending the Trojans
    34-game winning streak.
    Texas recorded a league-record seven Big 12 Conference les on the
    men's side, winning or sharing league crowns in football, swimming and
    diving, indoor track and field, basketball, tennis, baseball and outdoor
    track and field.
    Texas placed second in cross country and golf. No other Big 12 member
    ins ution claimed more than one league le during the 2005-06 year.
    In fact, UT's seven Big 12 les this year are as many (or more) than
    seven league schools have recorded in the 10-year history of the
    conference. The Horns have now tallied 30 all-time league men's crowns,
    nearly twice as many as any other conference school.
    Nebraska is second with 17, Oklahoma State has 12, Colorado 11, Baylor
    9, Kansas and Oklahoma 7 each, Texas A&M 5, Iowa State and Texas Tech 2
    each and Kansas State 1. Missouri has never won a Big 12 regular season
    championship.
    On a national scale, seven of UT's nine men's sports teams finished in
    the Top 10 nationally.
    Men's Athletic Director DeLoss Dodds, who has held that job for the last
    25 years, was chosen recently by the National Football Foundation and
    College Hall of Fame as the 2006 John L. Toner Award winner.
    The award is given each year to a director of athletics who has
    superior administrative abilities and shown outstanding dedication to
    college athletics and particularly college football.
    Dodds says the huge way Longhorns support their teams with donations and
    attendance is the key factor in building a great athletic program.
    But he was the one who pushed through the creation of the Longhorn
    Foundation years ago, and it raised $22 million last year, which is more
    than the total budget of many athletic programs nationally. He also
    hired the coaches who won those championships.
    "This award affirms what we at the University of Texas, and Longhorn
    fans throughout the nation, have felt about DeLoss Dodds for many
    years," said William Powers, Jr., President of The University of Texas
    at Austin.
    "He is simply the best director of men's athletics in the country,"
    Powers said. "He is a man of enormous integrity, and he's built a
    championship program that reflects that integrity."
    "DeLoss is the best AD in America," said Texas head football coach Mack
    Brown. "He has meant the world to us and played such a critical role in
    the growth and development of college football."
    "DeLoss is a tremendous leader with unbelievable vision and a man who
    has given and contin-ues to give so much to college athletics," Brown
    said "He's not only a great boss and person, but also a dear friend."
    Since Dodds has been at Texas, the Longhorns have won 12 National
    Championships (1 in football, 3 in baseball, 8 in swimming and diving)
    and 86 team les in the old Southwest Conference and the current Big
    12 Conference.

    UT has had all the money and all the talent for 50 years. It's nice to see them finally actually live up to it for once.

    when the was that
    2003. I believe that's the game where the clock ran continuously in the 4th quarter. Meaning, even after incompletions and penalities, the clock still ran. The Sooners could have easily scored 100 that game.

    OU has a first & goal inside the 5 midway throught the 4th qtr and Stoops runs his tailback into the middle 4 straight times, basically telling his O-line to just fall down.

    After Jorrie stops the OU back on 4th down, he starts celebrating.

    Classic aTm...
