Spirit and pride run deep at The University of Texas at Austin, and never is that more evident than on Longhorn game day. And while our unique history of traditions and legacy of athletics achievements give Longhorns much to be proud of, the impact of Texas Athletics extends far beyond the playing field.he Longhorn Foundation is a family of Longhorn faithful whose gifts have a huge impact on the lives of student-athletes by supporting our competitive edge and the health, education and welfare of our student-athletes.
