Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian recently posted a stirring message on social media, igniting excitement among Longhorns fans, players, and coaches.
As the Texas Longhorns prepare for a challenging season in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), Sarkisian’s motivational words couldn’t have come at a better time.
Texas, along with fellow Big 12 powerhouse Oklahoma, is set to navigate one of the most formidable in-conference schedules in the nation. In addition to their SEC matchups, the Longhorns face the daunting task of traveling to Ann Arbor to play the defending national champions, the Michigan Wolverines, led by their new head coach, Sherrone Moore.
In his post, Sarkisian laid out the “keys to success” for the Longhorns following their move to the SEC, emphasizing resilience and tenacity. Highlighting the depth of their quarterback roster, which includes Arch Manning, nephew of Peyton Manning, Sarkisian’s message resonated deeply with the Longhorns community.
“The pride and the winning tradition of the University of Texas will not be entrusted to the weak or the timid,” Sarkisian declared, accompanying his post with the iconic “Hook ‘Em Horns” gesture.
This rallying cry quickly went viral, amassing over 25,000 views on the platform formerly known as Twitter.
The Longhorns, who experienced a heartbreaking loss in the College Football Playoff semi-final against the Washington Huskies last season, are poised for a comeback. Quinn Ewers, who started last season, is set to compete with Arch Manning for the starting quarterback position.
Sarkisian’s post has been met with widespread support from fans, many of whom expressed their enthusiasm with comments like:
“Let’s Go! #HOOKEM” and “Let’s get it Sark.”
This wave of optimism comes as Texas prepares to kick off their season at home against the Colorado State Rams on August 31, followed by a high-stakes game against the Michigan Wolverines on September 7.
Steve Sarkisian’s heartfelt message has clearly struck a chord, setting the stage for what promises to be a pivotal season for Texas football.
