Not quite as bad as French President Francois Hollande’s many failed attempts at handshakes, but funny nevertheless. What did you think of Coach Strong’s first press conference?
We got word today from a Longhorn Humor follower on Twitter that Charlie Strong’s announcement is still being hosted on MackBrown-TexasFootball.com.
C’mon, IT guys!
Awkward, eh @LonghornHumor? (Look at the URL.) http://t.co/2XYRp7RWFu CC: @TexasSports.

Coach Strong will have his first press conference tomorrow at 11AM on TexasSports.com.
I’m excited and my family is excited to have the chance to lead one of the premier football programs in the country. Texas is one of those places that is always on your radar and a program anyone would dream of being a part of because you have a chance to compete on a national level every year. It’s special because it has such great history, pride, tradition and passion for football.
To follow a future Hall of Fame coach like Mack Brown, who built a program that had great success and a reputation of doing it with class and integrity, is extra special. The National Championship, BCS Bowl wins and all he accomplished in 16 years built on the Longhorn legacy and makes it such an exciting place to be.

Hook ’em!
100 years of the Rose Bowl and this is (still) everyone’s favorite moment!
UPDATE: Mack Brown tweeted that it was originally supposed to be a pass.
The VY play @ the end of the USC game was a called pass, but we said look quick & if they are covered run! & he did. The rest is history

Not only did Beyoncé drop a surprise album, she posed in David Ash’s jersey!
Of course, David Ash tweeted this back to her:
Appreciate the jersey support @Beyonce. Looking forward to putting a ring on it at the Alamo Bowl…excited to return in the spring!

Of course, we all know there are more than 50 Reasons Why Being a Longhorn is AWESOME, but this is a damn good start. So, crank up your speakers and play The Eyes of Texas before you scroll down.
