One of the things that makes being a Texas fan fun

Since the arrival of CDC anyway. Is that almost every sport is competitive and realistically has a chance to make a run at a championship.  Reading Blake's update on baseball, seeing the potential for the basketball teams, softball is in the top 5, volleyball is #2 and expected to make a run, swimming, etc.

It allows for constant entertainment of being able to watch Texas and be invested.  It's different than the days (and schools like for example Kansas) where a fan could only bank on one or two programs to be excited about and then the rest of the year is ho hum.

Seems like a good thread to drop this X memory - the most fun I've had as a Longhorn fan

2005 was probably one of the greatest years in the history of Longhorn sports.  According to Perplexity AI:

The 2005–2006 athletic year is widely regarded as one of Texas’s greatest multi-sport seasons, driven by historic championships in major sports like football and baseball.
However, when compared to modern all-sports dominance — such as 2024–2025, when Texas won the Directors’ Cup and excelled across nearly every sport — 2005 was iconic for its high-profile titles, but 2024–2025 surpassed it in overall athletic depth and consistency.
