As Texas prepares to exit the Big 12 for the SEC in 2024, the Longhorns are not departing the league without seeking to leave a lasting impression.
Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian told reporters Tuesday that his team is “on a mission” to make its final season in the Big 12 one to remember.
“They've [the Longhorns] taken this mindset of being on a mission,” Sarkisian said at Tuesday’s news conference, per ESPN. “They've kind of adopted the John Wick mentality. … I think that they've kind of assumed this mentality of, ‘Embrace the hate.’ … We’re the University of Texas, we get it. ... We can sit there and be a punching bag, or we can go attack the people that we’re going to play. And I think that they’ve assumed that responsibility to say, hey, we’re gonna go after everybody else too.”
