Some great photos of the future Longhorns making their college choice official yesterday. The photos of Taylor Bible from Inside Texas are awesome. His choice of a Texas fishing/hunting choice is perfect if you heard how country he is during Under Armour game interviews. Check out a selection of the photos below:

The 2010 Under Armour All-American game was a big one for Texas fans and for several future Longhorns. There was a fun week of events, incredible learning opportunities with top coaches and players and practices, and the week ended with an exciting (but very sloppy) game where the Black Team won big. Check out a few photos of the game above and below but be sure to check the ESPN and Rivals for more, higher resolution images.

Brian Orakpo will be an 82 rated defensive end for the Redskins in Madden 10.

Roger Goodell and [tag]Brian Orakpo[/tag] were still on stage at last weekend’s [tag]NFL Draft[/tag] and EA Sports already had Orakpo’s Madden NFL 10 Washington Redskins player card ready. The EA experts love his speed and power and rated him as an 82 overall. Both in real life and in the game, Rak is going to have a chance to contribute and flourish early on as a rookie playing next to Albert Haynesworth.

Thanks to the poster djbfootball over on the Inside Texas message boards we have new photos of the construction at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.

It looks like things are almost completed. From the inside it appears all seating is ready (the gap in the northwest corner is intentional) and that they’re working hard to get the exterior finished by the first game at the end of August. It really looks impressive and I’m excited that the Horns could have an improved home field advantage this season. I can’t wait to go to my first home game this year to see it for myself.

Check out the photos.

After several weather-related setbacks last summer, it looks like construction on Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium is now moving along nicely. Simkins over at HornFans has posted a ton of great photos that show the changes up close. The seating area in the North end zone looks almost done but the outside and innards of the stadium definitely still have a long way to go.

Check out the photos.

Photos from first day of fall practice. It’s been a very long summer, great to see the guys back at work.

Here are some pictures from the Spring Game this past Saturday, including some pretty cool shots of the new construction on the north end. Thanks Brady and Katie for the pictures.

I am starting this tradition as of now. The week before Thanksgiving will now be the official “Make Fun of Aggy Week.” I am going to start this off with some classics, and will add more pictures/video/audio/jokes later on in the week.

If you have any suggestions of your own, please let us know. For now, enjoy:

So definitely not the same fanfare as we had for the Texas/Ohio State tailgate, but we still had a good time. And as you will see we were definitely looking forward to getting our hands on some corndogs. You can check out the rest of the photos in the gallery.

Update

More photos added to the gallery and a couple celebration videos added after the break…

Man, this was one of the crazier tailgates that I have ever been a part of. We camped out starting Thursday night around 8pm and finally left Sunday around noon.

There were a total of 9 kegs at the tailgate, of which 6 we floated on Saturday (pretty impressive if I do say so). Everyone seemed to have a good time and everyone else that was tailgating in the lot were extremely friendly.

I took plenty of photos which you can check out in our gallery. I have also included some pictures below that I thought were the highlights. Just click on them to enlarge.

All in all I would say it was a success. And please let me know if you stopped by and had a good time.
