Texas Longhorns
Burnt orange squad
Texas Longhorns refers to the athletic teams of the University of Texas at Austin, competing in NCAA Division I.
The name comes from the longhorn cattle breed associated with Texas ranching history.
Fans use the phrase as shorthand for the university's sports programs, especially football: The Longhorns are playing Oklahoma this weekend.
The "Hook 'em Horns" hand gesture—index and pinky fingers extended—is their signature salute.
