Among Godfrey’s myriad of skills is turning a “who could have possibly seen this disaster coming” essay about a mismatch that could be seen from space before it happened into an elegant skewering Toni Morrison would have found the grace to deliver apologetically

Between this and playing “How will Chris Collinsworth bring up Mahomes tonight?” roulette my Sundays are cooked

I know this game is going on too long because this has been too much Brady for me

Don’t we all! But we have three freshmen playing key roles that are going to continue to develop, and Ella Swindle seems to really be coming into her own this year. I think the blocks are gonna get there! Now, service errors…that’s something we need to figure out for sure

You love to see it. We seemed to have at least momentarily found our block in that fifth set too. And Torrey Stafford with 30+ kills? Will be one of the top matches of her already stellar career I imagine.

Texas volleyball's streak of 7 straight sweeps ended tonight, yet the team showed tenacity when once again taken to 5 sets by a top 25 (and probably underrated) squad. Props to #17 Tennessee for showing up and giving a fight, but even more props to the real UT. #Texas #Longhorns #volleyball #sec

7 straight sweeps! In our Point Texas week 6 recap article, we cover just what's going right for the Longhorns, and what can still be improved. Plus, the return of the Trophy Case section!

Girl if I could have gotten into the Tito’s tent yesterday I was so down to seeing them after catching some T Pain and before going to see the Killers. So yes, we are old

Sir we have a great season already underway thank you. Of course I’m talking about volleyball.

That clock management at the end was certainly something

Brittany Marshall @thebrittanyempire.bsky.social · Sep 28

Yes that is a reference to r/CFB and probably only really understood by the same folks that would follow @rlonghornnation.bsky.social

Brittany Marshall @thebrittanyempire.bsky.social · Sep 28

Good week for Texas to have a bye. Love that it is probable a good amount of people who brigaded the LonghornNation subreddit after our Week 1 loss to now #1 Ohio State where we still had a chance to tie it up with two minutes left probably have flairs for one of the many teams that lost today.

Longhorns cleans up with a double sweep of Texas teams in this week's recap at Point Texas. Plus, we track in-season accolades in our new Trophy Case section.

Our Point Texas article for opening weekend is out, and Josh and I pulled out our crystal balls and made some predictions for the season. Why not warm up for football tomorrow with some volleyball action tonight?

We did it. Less than 24 hours until kickoff!

r/LonghornNation @rlonghornnation.bsky.social · Aug 29

At long last, we’ve made it to our top play from the 2024 season. 4th and 13. Can they Hook ‘Em. Special shoutout to @gordogg24p.bsky.social for taking the time to put the Craig Way audio on the ESPN feed.

With that, it’s time to beat Ohio State tomorrow!

Love a good goal line stand! Also 48 hours until kickoff!

r/LonghornNation @rlonghornnation.bsky.social · Aug 28

Nothing not only describes the yards A&M got on this play, but also the amount of success they’ve had since joining the SEC. At #2, Burke cements himself in Longhorn history by coming off the edge unblocked to prevent A&M’s last hope for an offensive TD!

Can you believe it’s already hump day of week 1? That means three days until kickoff. May the ball bounce in our favor this year as it did in our #3 play from last season.

r/LonghornNation @rlonghornnation.bsky.social · Aug 27

Playing for each other is 1 of Sark’s major tenets. Last year, it defined our #1 play. This year, it defines our #3 play. Wisner looks likes he’s going to score before fumbling at the 5. Bolden, from out of nowhere, then recovers the ball for the Texas TD!

Pooooooor aggy

r/LonghornNation @rlonghornnation.bsky.social · Aug 26

Remember a few plays ago when I said the refs failed on their first attempt to prevent a Texas TD vs A&M? Well, here we are. At #4, Arch gets subbed in on 4th down, keeps it on the option, and runs into the end zone for the first Texas TD @ A&M since 2011!

5 days left folks. We are solidly into Week
1. So enjoy this top-5 play from last season.

r/LonghornNation @rlonghornnation.bsky.social · Aug 25

“Can someone make a play” was amazing foreshadowing by Jesse Palmer to set up this highlight. At #5, Mukuba calls game in 2OT vs Arizona State by going up with Stovall for the ball and coming back down with the interception!
