The kickoff times and the broadcast networks have been announced for six games of the Texas Longhorns 2025 football schedule.
We've known for a week that the Longhorns season opener on Aug. 30 at the Horseshoe in Columbus, OH would be the 2025 debut of Big Noon Saturday on Fox Sports. The Cotton Bowl rematch is the premier game in week one of the college football season will start at 11 a.m. Austin time.
Of course, Ohio State and Fox Sports asked Texas for permission to move the game to Sunday night. The Longhorns athletic department denied that request. 'Why would I want to move the game to Sunday night and have a short week? I've got to go to church,' Del Conte said Wednesday, citing concerns over recovery time and personal priorities.
The rest of the first half of the schedule is now public. Texas will host San Jose State on Sept. 6 on ABC. The game will also start at 11am.
UTEP will be the Longhorns next opponent. The Miners will visit Austin on Sept. 13 at 3 p.m. CT on the SEC Network.
Sam Houston State will be Texas' fourth game. The Bearkats game will be at night, starting at 7 p.m. CT on ESPN+.
Texas' SEC schedule kicks off with the Red River Shootout in Dallas. The game at the Cotton Bowl in Fair Park will start at 2:30 p.m. CT and will air on ABC.
Finally, the Lone Star Showdown against Texas A&M will take place on Nov. 28 at 6:30 p.m. CT. The Longhorns will host the Aggies for the first time in 15 years.

While Shedeur battles for Browns' starting job, Deion remains 'hurt' about NFL Draft
Deion Sanders doesn't believe the rumors of the reasoning behind his son's unexpected fall down the NFL Draft boards in April. Leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft, many reports surfaced that Shedeur Sanders – who was projected to be a first-round pick - came 'unprepared' to one-on-one meetings and interviews with teams. Even with those reports, though, nobody thought he'd end up being selected where he ultimately was. The Cleveland Browns took Sanders in the fifth round, as their second quarterback in the draft. With all 32 NFL teams passing on him at some point, the validity of the theory that he was unimpressive in those interviews grew. His father, though, still sees those claims simply, as rumors, words that stung him. "It did hurt," Deion Sanders said on the most recent episode of former NFL cornerback Asante Samuel's podcast, "Say What Needs To Be Said". "But the Bible says God uses the foolish things to confound the wise. There was some foolish stuff that went on, but that gave them something that they needed." "When you sit up there and say something like he went into a meeting unprepared, like, dude," the Colorado coach added, "Shedeur Sanders? Who has had six different [offensive] coordinators, who has still functioned and leveled up every time we brought somebody new in, and you're going to tell me he was unprepared? You're going to tell me he had on headphones? Anybody who knows my son understands he's a professional. He's going to go into a meeting with headphones on? Y'all, come on now." While Deion is refusing to accept the rumors regarding his son's level of preparation are entirely true. He believes they can be used as a source of motivation, comparing it to the edge that seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady built by facing criticism head on. Shedeur is, seemingly, looking at the criticism in that way, too, opting to wear No. 12, the number Brady sported throughout his career. Deion, though, may have made a good point — that Shedeur's draft-day plummet didn't occur solely because of the impression he left on teams. The other potential reason for his son's fall, however, may not be one Deion wants to hear. "It's the beginning of June, and Deion is already complaining about his son, and what went down at the draft," Jason McIntyre said Monday on Fox Sports' "The Herd." "This, my friends, is why Shedeur Sanders fell in the draft. Front offices were just like, 'No, thank you on Shedeur Sanders,' precisely because of this." Essentially, McIntyre's saying that NFL teams didn't want to deal with Deion's constant media presence and that's why they were dissuaded from drafting his son. His external criticism of the NFL and its teams, which is constant and recently happened on Samuel's podcast, justifies McIntyre's take further. Instead of reflecting internally about how he and his son could have changed their approach, or things they did in the lead up to Shedeur's draft-day fall, he blamed everyone else. No matter the heavy amount of post-analysis, that part of Shedeur's journey is done. He's been drafted, and signed a rookie contract with the Browns. Instead of living in and critiquing the past, he and his father can look to the future as he competes to become the Browns' starting quarterback. "Hey Deion, Shedeur's now 23 years old," McIntyre added, "I'm not telling a grown man what to do, but it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, Deion, if next time you're asked about it, you say, 'I wish my son the best. I will be rooting for him hard. I'm a Cleveland Browns fan. Go Browns!' Just stop. All you're doing is hurting Shedeur." The Browns' quarterback battle is wide open and there's a real chance for Shedeur to get the starting job. Whether he earns it or not is, though, is completely dependent on his performance in training camp, no matter how much Deion wants to impact the outcomes of his son's future or opine about the past.

Journalism opens as Belmont favorite over Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty
Kentucky Derby runner-up and Preakness winner Journalism opened as the 8-5 favorite in the Belmont Stakes when post positions were drawn Monday for the final leg of the Triple Crown. Derby winner Sovereignty was set as the second choice on the morning line at odds of 2-1 and drew the No. 2 post. Journalism, near the outside with the No. 7 post, is the only horse running in all three Triple Crown races. [MORE: 2025 Belmont Stakes: Post time, TV schedule, horses, how to watch] "He's been kind of the same horse since July of last summer," trainer Michael McCarthy said. "He does everything you'd ask a good horse to do: He eats well, trains well, acts well. I thought through the last six, seven weeks here, his energy's been the same throughout." Sovereignty is back after owner and trainer Bill Mott opted to skip the Preakness and run the Belmont on five weeks of rest, and things have gone swimmingly since he arrived at historic Saratoga Race Course. "We've been very lucky with everything that's gone on sine he's been here," Mott said. "He's been moving well over the track." Sovereignty and Journalism in the field set up this Belmont, the second at Saratoga while renovations are made to its usual home on Long Island, to be a rematch between the first two Triple Crown winners who were also first and second the Derby. "He's improved, as I think as many of these horses have," Mott said of Sovereignty. "I think this entire group, if you look at their form and the way they've developed over the course of this year, I think they've made steady progress and it should be an interesting race." [MORE: 2025 Belmont Stakes odds, predictions: Favorites, picks] No. 6 Baeza, who finished third in Kentucky on the first Saturday in May, opened at 4-1. Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert's Rodriguez, who was scratched from the Derby because of a minor foot bruise and held out of the Preakness, was next at 6-1 and will leave the starting gate from the No. 3 post. The field of eight horses also includes No. 8 Heart of Honor, tied for the longest shot on the board at 30-1 after finishing fifth in the Preakness. New to the Triple Crown trail are No. 1 Hill Road (10-1), No. 5 Crudo (15-1) and No. 4 Uncaged (30-1). [MORE: Belmont Stakes winners: Complete list by year] Journalism, who was favorited in the Derby and the Preakness and at the moment is the top 3-year-old in the country, looks like the horse to beat. "Saratoga is very good for horses," McCarthy said. "He seems a little bit re-energized up here. We're looking for a wonderful renewal of the Belmont here on Saturday."
