Texas coach Steve Sarkisian issued an apology to begin his Monday news conference after he left the field before singing “The Eyes of Texas” school song following the Longhorns’ 41–34 loss to Oklahoma State on Saturday.
“As you know, I owe an apology to Longhorn Nation,” Sarkisian said.
“I made a mistake at the end of the game in not singing ‘The Eyes of Texas’ when the game was done. That was not anything intentional. That was not anything that had to do with our players. I think our players just followed me up the ramp into the locker room, obviously upset by the way the game ended.
