For the third time in four years, the Texas Longhorns claimed the prize for the top athletics department in the land with the Director's Cup.

The Texas Longhorns once again find themselves in the postseason, but this time in unfamiliar territory -- heading to College Station to take on Louisiana, Grambling State, and of course host Texas A&M.;
