Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. Texas did exactly what it was supposed to do in drumming lowly, still-winless Kansas on Saturday night, 59-20.

Too bad this team can’t stay home the rest of the season. Texas is 0-3 in true road games this year and next comes a journey to West Virginia. “One week, you …

Bohls: Just Texas beats just Kansas, but a win is a win
A little Texas win. And a whole lot of healthy perspective. Four-touchdown favorite Texas beat the worst team in the league and maybe the entire land, and yes it beat ’em up pretty good. As the Longhorns should have. And that’s all they did. That said, however, the befuddling Longhorns … Read More
