Transcript Sports Writer HOUSTON — All eyes were on Texas Thursday. The Longhorns, the media pick for conference supremacy, were the final team to take the stage at Big 12 Media Days. Preseason expectations can only mean more pressure on Mack Brown. The Texas coach has gone 70-19 in seven Longhorn seasons, while never failing to win at least nine games. It’s an impressive run. But the trophy case in Austin is still missing a championship trophy, conference or national, from any of Brown’s teams. The heat is on for that to change. And if it changes will likely have everything to do with who wins one October Saturday at the Cotton Bowl. “Oklahoma has been really good,” Brown said. “They’ve done a tremendous job. They’ve beaten everybody else. It’s not just us. They’ve probably cost us a chance at two or three national championships.” Last season was one of those years. The Longhorns went 11-1 and went to the Rose Bowl. It was Texas’ first BCS bowl appearance under Brown. Last season’s post-Red River Shootout success is something the Longhorns hope will spill into this season.
