It's going to be another tight finish for the Director's Cup, with the Texas Longhorns and Stanford Cardinal in for another battle down the stretch. The margin is once again razor-thin, and projections keep changing, so we welcome in the Directors' Cupdater himself to help us figure out where things stand and what Texas needs to do to win another title.

The No. 3 Texas Longhorns have high hopes for this year after overachieving for much of 2025, then seeing their season end in a frustrating manner.

With a loaded roster and, hopefully, a pitching staff they can count on through the season, the Longhorns have a team that could compete for a national championship.

After a rocky start to the season, the Texas men's basketball team has won three consecutive conference games and is seemingly building momentum for the back half of the season. Can they keep this up and turn it into a tournament berth or is this just proof of concept for the future under Sean Miller?

The ladies got their revenge game against LSU and a hard-fought win over Kentucky, two of their four-consecutive games against ranked teams. Can they keep the momentum going down the stretch?

The Texas Longhorns weren't expected to make many waves this year, but after pulling above .500 in SEC play, they may be finding their rhythm under Sean Miller. Can they keep this momentum going?

The ladies, with high expectations, had some late-game struggles against Oklahoma in a comfortable win that should have been more comfortable. Is this a bad sign for the remainder of the season?

The Texas Longhorns continued to add to the roster via the transfer portal, giving some insight into what the offense will look like in 2026 and beyond. Did they fill all of their needs or what gaps still exist for them heading into the offseason?

We also dive in on an up-and-down week for both basketball teams, who learned some valuable lessons about their paths to success this season.

The Texas Longhorns spent the first week of the Transfer Portal window shipping guys out, but got some huge commitments in the second week.

How has Texas positioned itself for Arch Manning's second season at the helm and what spots still need to be filled?

The Texas Longhorns went into the offseason with a clear plan for the portal, which hasn't really worked out in the first week of the window.

Texas has had a few high-profile misses at positions of need, but is it time to panic yet?

The Texas Longhorns capped off the 2026 campaign with a decisive win over the Michigan Wolverines, propelled by the heroics of quarterback Arch Manning.

Aiding the effort was a defensive performance from the Longhorns, harassing quarterback Bryce Underwood and stymying their offense late. What does this do for Texas as they head into a pivotal 2026 season?

The No. 13 Texas Longhorns will be without some key players when they head to Florida to take on the Michigan Wolverines, who are somehow even more in flux.

They recently named Kyle Wittingham as their permanent head coach, who will take over for Biff Pogi, who led the charge following Sherrone Moore's firing earlier in December. They will be missing their two best pass rushers, an NFL-caliber offensive lineman, and will have a new playcaller for the offense.

What does that mean for the matchup and will Texas get to 10 wins this year?

Ahead of the Texas Longhorns' Citrus Bowl matchup against the Michigan Wolverines, we bring on TJ Ronin from the Michigan Voice of College Football network to help us do a deeper dive on the Wolverines.

We talk coaching turmoil, Bryce Underwood, finding a pass rush, and which Michigan player would make the best professional wrestler.
