The start of the new season brought new records for the Longhorns Thursday night. Texas shut out the Titans from California State Fullerton winning by a school record 23 runs.

The five-inning game broke UT’s single-game record, shattering the former of 17-0 from 1999. The Longhorns came out strong and consistent every inning, starting out with three in the first, nine in the second and eight in the third, giving them a 20-0 lead after only three innings.

The Longhorns are starting to peak at the right time. The same holds true for Kansas State, though.

Texas hosts the Wildcats Saturday afternoon at the Frank Erwin Center and look to extend its winning streak to three games.

UT (15-9, 5-6 Big 12) has not won more than two games in a row since stringing together seven victories from Nov. 26 to Dec. 17.

In Texas, it isn't unusual to hear a “y'all” tossed around in casual conversation, but the tone of language we use differs depending on whom we're talking to, according to a new study.

Linguistics graduate student Kathleen Points examined differences in dialect through her project “Language Use in East Austin,” in which she researched language use and examines how it relates to identity.

She looked at different ethnic groups that make up East Austin to determine what causes these subtle changes.

Even behind a 23-point effort from its leading scorer Chassidy Fussell, Texas was unable to defeat Kansas State Wednesday night at the Frank Erwin Center.

The 64-55 loss drops the Longhorns to 3-6 in Big 12 play, while the Wildcats rise to 6-3 in conference.

Inconsistent guard play and their inability to establish an offensive identity in the post cost the Longhorns an opportunity to move up in the Big 12 standings at the Frank Erwin Center Wednesday night.

Texas turned the ball over 21 times and got only 10 points from its bigs as Kansas State moved to 7-2 on the road with a 64-55 victory at the Frank Erwin Center on Wednesday night.

WACO- Baylor’s Perry Jones III scored 22 points and Quincy Miller added 18 in a heated 76-71 victory over the Bear’s oldest basketball rival, Texas.

This weekend, OH SNAP! a music, food and variety festival, will be celebrating its third year, featuring local acts Les RAV, Ume, Mother Falcon, Freshmillions and many others.

WARSAW, Poland — Poland on Thursday signed an international copyright agreement which has sparked days of protests by Internet users who fear it will lead to online censorship.

Poland’s ambassador to Japan, Jadwiga Rodowicz-Czechowska, signed the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, or ACTA, in Tokyo, she told the all-news station TVN24.

Later in the day, hundreds of people took to the streets of the eastern city of Lublin to express their anger over the treaty.

Thank you for publishing a balanced account of Joe Paterno’s legacy in Monday’s paper.

As someone with degrees from both UT and Penn State, I appreciated Mack Brown’s insights about his time spent with Paterno.

Paterno shouldn’t be deified in his passing, nor should he be vilified.
