Hustle play to help erase INT an example of how Texas Longhorns have changed their culture

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 18:22:35 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Culture is supported by an unwavering effort by the team's best players and leaders, no matter the situation. When things started to go haywire on Saturday against TCU, two of Texas' leaders answered the bell in ways they typically aren't asked to do.When Millard Bradford intercepted Quinn Ewers in the first quarter, receivers Jordan Whittington and Xavier Worthy helped make one of the game's most important plays with hustle and determination — directly reflecting the team's current culture. Instant Analysis: A blowout would be nice, but Texas is finding ways to win As Bradford tried to find running room during his return, Whittington came flying in from well behind the play to not just bring him down, but punch the ball loose. Worthy, the intended receiver on the play, ended up on the ground after Bradford made the pick but hopped back up and went straight to the ball. He saw Whittington pop the ball out and alertly jumped on it, creating the second turnover on th...

Shedeur Sanders closing in on CU Buffs single-season records through pain of all the sacks and hits

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 18:22:35 GMT

BOULDER — Shedeur Sanders is closing in on several Colorado records despite all the bumps and bruises from all the sacks and hits.These days, the Buffaloes quarterback has become just as fluent in managing the pain that comes with being sacked 48 times as with running the Buffaloes’ pass-centric offense. He’s needed at least two pain-numbing injections this season to get through games and a few days off from practice here and there to recover from constantly scrambling behind a shaky offensive line. But here he is, with two games left, just 57 yards shy of breaking Colorado’s single-season passing mark of 3,200 yards set by Sefo Liufau in 2014. Sanders, who’s made his watch-flex pose after big moments a popular trend, also has 26 TD passes, leaving him three away from eclipsing Liufau’s mark of 28 for a season.The durable Sanders is also doing everything he can to help the Buffaloes (4-6, 1-6 Pac-12) pull out of their funk. They’ve dropped six of seven since a 3-0 start and no...

Meet Becoming Artist Page Person

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 18:22:35 GMT

Sometimes the most fundamental function of art is simply to assert the artist’s own existence—to literally make their mark, to preserve the contours of their life and times for history, and to offer their experience, testament, and vision to the world around them right now. In the case of multidisciplinary artist Page Person, that experience and vision centers around their own process of becoming who they are. Across drawing, painting, sculpture, storytelling, music, and performance, Person first processed, then repaired and transcended her experience of ostracization from the art world community that followed her coming out as trans—and her powerful subsequent experience of stepping into her power. Asserting her personhood in the face of ongoing attempts at political marginalization and erasure, expressing the kaleidoscopic rainbow of her innate human potential, Person has become her own greatest muse and gratefully offers her own lived experience as a prism through which we can al...
