About Dino »

I am an avid Texas Longhorn sports fan. I've been following the Longhorns athletics program for some time now and I've enjoyed every minute. I'm currently Community Leader as well as a Featured Columnist for Texas Longhorns Football here on Bleacher Report. When I graduate high school I hope to attend a good university and pursue a career in sports journalism.

    New Article: Texas' Dogus Balbay Is Quietly Making A Name For Himself

    He isn't one of the better shooters on the floor. He's not the tallest guy on the floor, either. However, junior point guard Dogus Balbay may very well be the hardest working player on Rick Barnes' squad...

    New Article: Youngsters Making An Early Impact For The Texas Longhorns

    There has been much talk about Rick Barnes' stellar 2009 recruiting class and how it may be his best class ever, even better than the 2006 class that brought Kevin Durant and D.J. Augustin to the Forty Acres...

    New Article: Keys to The Texas Longhorns Avoiding a Turkey Day Upset

    The goal is in sight. With just one game left to play in the regular season and a date with the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Big 12 title game, the Texas Longhorns are two wins away from another trip to Pasadena...

    Hey dino!
    I'm jd and have been looking around at the best defenders in the big 12. who do you like most from texas?

    I see a lot of guys here, but I especially like muckelroy, kindle, thomas, houston, both achos, gideon and chykie. Any of those guys or others stand out particularly above and beyond as uber-reliable or team leaders to you?

    I'd appreciate your opinion!!
