About this book

4TH-AND-5 — a national championship on the line. USC 38, Texas 33. I’m in a sea of Burnt Orange and White. 'Hook ’em Horns' hang in the air, but some fans stand silent, hands over mouths, frozen in the moment. The game is on a knife-edge. Vince Young takes off for the corner—he’s in. He’s done it. The crowd explodes. Fists fly, people leap, strangers hug. I’ve never seen anything like it. This isn’t just a game. It’s history, unfolding right in front of me.

This book tells the story of the Texas Longhorns through authentic newspaper reports, beginning in 1928. Relive defining moments — from the 1970 Cotton Bowl when the Longhorns posted their 500th UT win, to Earl Campbell winning the Heisman Trophy in 1977, to the 2023 Big 12 championship title victory. Follow the team’s journey decade by decade, told through the words of journalists who witnessed it.

Choose from a range of book covers and personalise your book with a name and message to create a lasting keepsake. Whether for a Horns fan, a history enthusiast, or someone who remembers it all first-hand — you hold not just a gift, but a piece of sports history ready to be passed on.

The College Football History of Texas Longhorns FAQs

How long will this book take to arrive?

Each of our orders is printed on demand, made special just for you and the reader you’ve created it for! Typically, it takes 1-3 days for our workshops to receive, make, and finally hand each order over to the postal carriers for delivery.

Are the pages real, or reproductions of newspapers?

The pages are scans of original newspaper pages. Every effort has been made to clean up scans to make them as clear as possible. In some instances there will be blemishes and the reproduction quality may not be as clear or precise as copying directly from the actual papers itself. 

What name can I enter in the personalisation?

Enter the name as you wish it to be printed on the book. You have a maximum of 13 characters for the first name and surname – which is optional. Please only use standard characters that may be part of someone's name. This include accents. Make sure to double-check your spelling.

Does the book contain every newspaper article about the team?

If we included every article then the book would be too big to print. We have edited the book to include the most interesting articles about their victories, and defeats, to tell the the full story of the team's history.
