Longhorns know it's time to 'grow up' after ending slide
Fresh off a win over Iowa State, Charlie Strong's Longhorns visit Kansas State on Saturday.AUSTIN, Texas -- Ah, team meetings.
They are those movie-caliber pivotal moments that signify when a season is about to get turned around. As reporters, we fall for this stuff because hyped-up, closed-door meetings help build those season-on-the-brink narratives and hint at dysfunction or desperation. It’s all great message board fodder.
What Texas had this last Thursday, Charlie Strong says, was not that kind of team meeting. That meeting was the standard team get-together, same day and time as always. Every Thursday at 3:30 p.m., Strong lays out the plan to win the game.
