Johnny Jones and Dean Smith made the Olympic 100m final for Texas, but what Longhorn belongs in with the great sprinters? World record holders, Olympic/World medalists....who? Texas hasn't done anything as far as the men goes, so ya might wanna......Texas has had some women sprinters.
Ya had a couple footballers....Jamaal Charles, Tony Jones, the Jamaican Givans the school 100m record holder. No great 400m cat.
Are you done yet? You are so miserable that you took away from the excitement in the thread. Like after all that what did you accomplish texas still swept big 12s. Still threw top national marks across disciplines on both sides and they are still both ranked Number 1.
Funny that you've mentioned that you've never thought of Texas as a sprint power. Texas women's won NCAA Champs back in the day mainly because of the sprinters. Their hurdles and jumpers played apart as well but Texas sprinters were the high scorers.
Well a big thanks to Coach Flo and Coach Ricky Morgan Jr bringing in elite talent on the men's side...Some of the best high schoolers in the country has signed with Texas. The future is looking brighter for the Longhorns.
DenoZ- You're stuck in the past while the sprints powerhouse TEXAS is focus on winning CHAMPIONSHIPS in the present and near future. I know it hurts! But Hook 'em!!

When you say stuff like.....
Its no longer up for debate the university of Texas has the best sprint program in the nation. Kevona davis just ran 10.95 with Julien Alfred @ 10.81 both are wind legal.
......you can expect that to be challenged since Texas hasn't won anything yet. That kind of talk comes AFTER the NCAA.
Yes Texas has had some female sprinters, Ok cool! Who is their best male sprinter, now you see there has never been a great one. Hell Texas Southern Jimmy Hines Olympic gold, Robert Taylor Olympic silver.

How about ya slow down a bit and see how the NCAA's goes for Texas sprinters.
Fill these 8 lanes using stud Texas male sprinters.

USC could fill two 8 lane races.
If it's about just the women yep Texas has been impressive.

Currently USC’s program is not touching Texas’s program by a long shot. So how about you give me another demonstration where you fill those 8 lanes with current sprint powerhouses. Im gonna give you some clarification and hopefully it resonates. TEXAS THIS YEAR HAVE SHOWN THAT THEY ARE A SPRINT FACTORY PRODUCING TOP MARKS ACROSS THE SPRINTS FOR BOTH MENS AND WOMENS TEAMS.

And wouldnt anyone say thats a valid statement for a team that has had the most women nationally ranked across the sprints. Maybe the disconnect in what i said is that you're grouping both the men and women as a whole. Clearly once again i reiterate that my post was aimed at the performances based on the women's showing. Now that is not to minimize the success of the men that has demonstrated that they are one of the most well rounded programs (from the throws to distances) in the nation. Based on what texas has done since indoor list another team that has completed such feats in a season.

Q: Who's immature enough to post a thread in all CAPS? A: Texas supporters.
JUST A FORMER ATHLETE AND FAN OF THE SPORT IN GENERAL. And how does typing in all caps relate to any demonstration of immaturity? And yes this question warrants a response in all its seriousness no sarcastic deflecting BS comment.
You aren't getting this at all. A factory means production, right? Well here is what USC has produced in the sprints since 1912.
Charlie Paddock 1920 Olympic 100 gold, multi WR's
Frank Wykoff three time Olympian histories first 9.4
Mel Patton Olympic 200m gold, histories first 9.3
Lennox Miller Olympic 100m silver and bronze
Earl McCullouch...Fred Kuller...O.J.Simpson...Lennox Miller 4x1 world record
Don Quarrie Olympic 200m gold, 100m Olympic silver
Quincy Watts Olympic 400m gold
Mike Larrabee Olympic 400m gold
Andre DeGrasse Olympic 200m gold
James Sanford top ranked 100m in the world
Now add,,,
Aaron Brown, Marvin Andeson, Beejay Lee, Clancy Edwards, Michael Norman, Willie Deckard, Bryshon Nellum, Jim Lea, Jerome Davis, Erdesel Garrison, Billy Mullins,
That is what a "factory" looks like.
You have "one" good season is not a factory, ok?
