texas falls to playoff-bound sooners Costly safety ends Longhorns’ hopes of winning Big 12 Championship. By Alex Briseño @AlexxBriseno

hen asked if he saw Oklahoma cornerback Tre Brown sprinting toward him as he looked for open receivers from his own end zone, all Sam Ehlinger said was, “Absolutely not.” Ehlinger took the snap and faked a handoff, but what he didn’t see was Brown darting toward him in an attempt to make game-changing play. Brown flew past the Longhorn offensive line, untouched and unnoticed, before driving Ehlinger to the ground in his own end zone for the biggest safety of the Sooners’ 2018 season. The safety gave Oklahoma a 32-27 lead en route to the 39-27 victory over Texas, and it came from a play Oklahoma only called once

— all season. “This entire season, sitting down with the coaches and watching film, they’ve run corner chop once,” tight end Andrew Beck said. “One play.” That one play came almost immediately after Texas forced its one and only turnover of the game. Texas still faced a 3027 lead, but even players admitted they thought that was enough to ride the momentum and return to Austin with the Big 12 title. “We had an opportunity,” Ehlinger said. “Our defense did a great job of getting the ball back to us, and then offensively we didn’t take care of our side of the bargain.” “That’s on us. That’s on me,” an emotional Ehlinger added. “I will make it my mission to never let this team or this school feel this disappointment again.” But the disappointment isn’t just restricted to Ehlinger or the offense’s production. A large part of it is in regard to the number following “penalty yards” on the stat sheet: 128. Aside from numerous costly 15-yard pass interference calls throughout the game, the lethal penalty came with less than two minutes left in the game. Immediately after the

City Council cracks down on LimeBike, removes 1,000 scooters temporarily

Free feminine hygiene placed in Union and SAC

By Raja justin

Dockless scooter enthusiasts may be seeing a little less green on the streets of Austin. The dockless scooter company Lime Bike, one of seven dockless scooter operators licensed by the city, was charged with over-supplying scooters in an area of downtown approximately bordered by MoPac, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Chicon Street and Oltorf Street. The company has been ordered to temporarily reduce its overall fleet by 20 percent, or 1,000 scooters, according to a memo directed to City Council. But the fleet reduction does not apply to specific areas of the city. The memo, released Nov. 29, was written by Austin Transportation Director Robert Spillar. In it,

Feminine hygiene product dispensers are now available in the Union Building and soon in the Student Activity Center to offer free period products. The initiative is being spearheaded by the UT Women’s Resource Agency of Student Government and is still in its pilot stage because the agency needs to gather data on costs, WRA director Catherine Holley said. The dispensers were placed in the Union Building in November. “I’m happy that things are getting rolling with this, and any amount of progress is great, but WRA is very interested in … making sure that this is carried out and that our long-term goal is achieved,” Holley said. The goal of the agency is to place dispensers in all restrooms in every UT building, including men’s restrooms for transgender males, Holley said.

pedro luna | the daily texan staff Lime Bike, one of the seven dockless scooter operators licensed by the City of Austin, was charged with over-supplying scooters downtown and has been ordered to reduce its fleet.

Spillar cites five separate occasions between Nov. 14 and Nov. 20 where Lime Bike violated the city code by deploying more than

their limit of 500 dockless mobility units in downtown Austin and “creating a safety issue.” The memo states Lime was using “as many as

624 units more than their authorized allowance.” Austin transportation officials notified the

Biology sophomore Madisen Pereida said she is glad the dispensers are in heavily visited buildings, but other buildings need them as well. “I would also put one in Jester because a lot of people tend to go into Jester, especially with the two dining halls, and there’s also a lot of classes in there,” Pereida said. The project was originally started by the Texas Orange Jackets and Mehraz Rahman, SG vice president and Orange Jackets member. Rahman worked closely with the WRA to get legislation passed and dispensers put into restrooms. “I absolutely think that they are necessary,” Rahman said. “In the same way that toilet paper and soap are necessary for hygiene, pads and tampons are necessary for hygiene for people who menstruate.” The same standard the University has when it comes to condoms should be applied to

Students peeking through the fencing of Gregory Gym might notice a drained outdoor leisure pool surrounded by construction workers. Recreational Sports is replastering the pool for the second time in the pool’s 13-year lifespan. “We love that students have this kind of oasis in the middle of campus where they can relax and exercise in, and we want to maintain

it so they can have it for generations to come,” said Jennifer Speer, RecSports senior communications director. The replastering is a regular, preventative measure. Pool basins are usually covered with a layer of plaster to prevent the pool from leaking, according to ABC Home and Commercial Services, which provides information on pool replastering. This plaster is also used to improve the appearance of the pool. The problem is this plaster does not last forever, typically seven to eight years

before it needs touch ups, Speer said. “UV rays, chemicals (and) the use of the pool will all break down pool plaster over time,” Speer said. “As the plaster breaks down, there’s a potential for leaks in the basin, some rough patches, and obviously, aesthetically you don’t want these random pieces of plaster that come off.” Speer said because students frequently use the pool, RecSports decided to replace the plaster every seven years to be safe. Head Lifeguard Tony Vo

said the relaxed atmosphere of the pool makes it a popular spot during August and September. “Especially during the months leading up to fall, it gets very, very packed because there’s a lot of people sunbathing and coming back from summer break,” Vo said. “They want to get their tan in before winter comes.” The pool is currently being replastered during its off-season, from November to the beginning of May, but Speer said the construction should only take a couple of weeks to complete.

Marketing junior Rubi Delgado said she used the leisure pool once a week during the summer due to its relaxing atmosphere and heated water. She said she prefers using it to other pools and expects to use it next summer. “I would just use it because I was on campus and I didn’t want to go back to Riverside,” Delgado said. “I just like swimming in general and then Riverside, sometimes the pool wasn’t clean … When (the leisure pool) is full it’s a little intimidating, but during the summer it’s pretty relaxed.”

Legislators have begun filing hundreds of bills they want to pass next year with the opening day of the 86th Texas Legislature less than six weeks away. While some of the bills tackle new issues, several are repeats of legislation that failed in previous sessions. The legislature, which convenes once every two years, kicks off Jan. 8, and lawmakers have until March 8 to submit ideas for potential legislation. In 2019, legislators will likely focus on overarching issues such as property taxes and funding for public education, said Joshua Blank, manager of polling and research at UT’s Texas Politics Project. But Blank said not to discount refiles of failed bills. “Often times it takes a couple legislative sessions for a bill to actually get to the floor and be signed into law by the governor,” Blank said. “If we go back and see what among the 2017 special session items (the legislatures failed) on, I would assume in most cases to see those bills come back.” One issue making a comeback in 2019 is distracted driving. In 2017, state Sen. Judith Zaffirini sponsored a bill that eventually became a statewide ban on texting while driving. But Zaffirini said the ban on texting is flawed since it ignores other forms of cellphone use which are equally distracting. On Nov. 12, she filed Senate Bill 43, which would expand the ban to

include all forms of hand-held cellphone use while driving. “Expanding the current ban … is important because it will save lives,” Zaffirini said in an email. “Texting while driving is not the only distraction that causes fatal accidents. Other behavior(s), such as streaming music or reading newspapers while driving, is extremely dangerous.” Zaffirini also said the ban is difficult to enforce since drivers who are pulled over can claim they were engaged in an activity other

than texting. Gov. Greg Abbott, who signed the ban into law during the 85th regular session, has also expressed dissatisfaction with the ban as written — but for different reasons. Abbott said the legislation leaves room for local governments to enforce stricter regulations than the state. “We don’t need a patchwork quilt of regulations that dictate driving practices in Texas,” Abbott said in a 2017 press conference. During the 85th special session, Abbott tasked the

legislature with outlawing local restrictions on using a cellphone while driving. The proposed legislation failed to pass. Zaffirini also submitted Senate Bill 38, which would expand the state’s definition of hazing. SB 38 is a refile of a previous bill authored by Zaffirini that failed to pass in the 84th and 85th regular sessions. Texas law currently defines hazing as “any intentional, knowing or reckless act, occurring on or off the campus of an educational institution, by one person alone or acting with

others, directed against a student” that harms a student for the purpose of being initiated into or maintaining membership of an organization, such as pledging. Zaffirini said this definition is too vague, which is why her bill eliminates the requirement for the hazing act to “endanger the mental or physical health or safety of a student.” “This phrasing is ambiguous and creates unnecessary challenges to enforcing the law because it often is unclear at what point hazing behavior constitutes an offense,” Zaffirini said.

Facebook clothing exchange

UT students participate in buying, selling women’s items in group on Facebook. By Adriana Rezal @adrianarezal

fter she bought 20 pairs of shoes in a single semester, Anel Gonzalez vowed to be more frugal when purchasing on the “UT Austin Women’s Clothing Exchange” Facebook page. Gonzalez, a textiles and apparel senior, said she has since purged her shoe closet and is now more selective of the items she buys from the page. “It was this feeling of, ‘I just have to have it!’” Gonzalez said. “It’s so cheap, I’m a size 6 1/2 and it’s hard to find shoes, like, ‘When is this going to come by again?’ It was a kind of retail therapy too, because of the stress of school.” UT alumna Ashley Phillips started the Facebook page in 2014 and said it gained 2,000 members the day it was created. With over 8,000 members now, the closed group allows UT students to buy, sell and exchange

The penalty will continue for 30 days, after which the Austin Transportation Department will evaluate whether Lime is in good standing with the City of Austin, according to the memo.

women-related items such as clothing, make-up and shoes. “Usually you’ll find what you’re looking for — for a good price,” Phillips said. “When I was in school, I didn’t have a lot of money, so I thought it was a great way to (buy clothes).” Phillips said the page also promotes student safety. To become a member, admins require a UT email address to ensure all members are affiliated with UT. Phillips said sometimes users encourage safety themselves, like posting news about safety or crime in West Campus on the page. “We usually highlight those (posts) at the top so that everybody’s aware and makes sure they stay vigilant,” Phillips said. Currently, the page has a pinned post for free self-defense lessons, which Phillips said has been verified by the admins as legitimate and safe. Marketing senior Soneri Chaturvedi said buying and selling items through the page is convenient for a college lifestyle because exchanges typically occur on campus or in student apartments. Chaturvedi said she uses the page to sell formal dresses she has worn for organization events and dinners. Chaturvedi said she is trying to live a more minimalist lifestyle and the page helps her declutter the things she no longer needs.

“If ATD finds that Lime is in good standing, Lime will be allowed to request the suspension of their units be lifted,” Spillar said in the memo. According to the memo, Lime is still authorized to operate 4,000 dockless mobility units around Austin. Austin’s six other dockless scooter operators were not fined, according to the memo. “This action is not anticipated to negatively impact users … there is sufficient supply to meet demand,” Spillar said.

These weren’t new rules that they weren’t able to follow or anything like that.” Lime representatives declined to answer questions

regarding the sanction but released a statement from Sam Sadle, director of strategic development at Lime. In the statement, Sadle said Austin is one of several cities with “caps” on deployed scooters. “Austinites have embraced Lime scooters, riding over a million times since June,” Sadle said in the statement. “Due to extremely high demand from users, we had an unintentional over-deployment of scooters downtown. We have worked around the clock to fix it, and look forward to continuing to work

with the City of Austin.” Madeline Dutelich, an environmental and water resources engineering graduate student, said she is a frequent Lime customer and does not believe the city’s crackdown was the most efficient solution as it takes away transportation options. “I just do not think its the smartest use of force, or necessarily the most forward-thinking response,” Dutelich said. “It just feels like they’re not thinking about people who are being helped by these scooters.”

Sooners took a 39-27 lead, Lil’Jordan Humphrey knew he had to try and make e something happen on the ensuing kickoff. The majority of the 83,114 fans in attendance at AT&T Stadium, which was enough to set the record for highest attendance for any conference championship, went into a frenzy as Humphrey returned the kickoff 92 yards to make it a one possession game. But a bright yellow flag ended Texas’ hopes of a comeback before they even got started, negating the touchdown and any wishes the Longhorns had at clinching their first conference title since 2009. “We shot ourselves in the foot and you can’t do

that,” Humphrey said. “... I was really praying it was on them but it wasn’t.” As the clock hit zero, Oklahoma players stormed the field and threw the ‘Horns Down’ hand gesture while Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray grabbed an OU flag and took a lap around AT&T Stadium. Murray, who threw for 379 yards and three touchdowns, improved to 6–0 all time at AT&T Stadium. More importantly, the win sets up the Sooners to secure the fourth spot in the College Football Playoff and puts Murray as a frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy. “I don’t want to compare it to anybody else because the guy has done a lot of special things,” head coach Lincoln Riley said. “He’s been the most dynamic

player in the country. The things he does, moving, the things he does throwing the football, how good he is mentally, I mean you saw it today. You saw it today.” “Don’t let that get to your head,” Riley told Murray. Across the hallway, Humphrey talked to the media about where the Texas program is in comparison to where it has been in recent memory. “I want to say we’re right where we want to be, but we aren’t yet,” Humphrey said. “That’s Big 12 Champions, but that’s not where we are right now. We still have a lot of work to do but we’re getting there.” For now, the Longhorns are forced to cope with coming within one win of a conference championship while mentally preparing for the Sugar Bowl against No. 5 Georgia.

INTERVIEW

You’ve heard it before, but it’s important: don’t stress Daily Texan: What are your commitments outside of classes at UT?

Cameron Weber: My commitment outside of classes at UT is primarily a heavy involvement in Longhorn Band. I have other commitments as well, such as Kappa Kappa Psi, Phi Mu Alpha and Longhorn Pep Band.

DT: How do you balance everything?

CW: As far as balancing everything goes, my best asset is a planner. I write down everything that I have to get done and try to budget my time effectively based off of my available time. Sometimes, I do have to prioritize and may have to make some sacrifices, but

for the most part I’m able to effectively manage my time.

DT: Are there things you have to prioritize, such as especially difficult classes or a job you depend on? CW: I have to prioritize more often than I want to. I have a couple of classes that take much more time than others, and sometimes it is very tough to balance those difficult classes around my other commitments. My sleep schedule is generally off as I usually fall asleep around 1-2 a.m. every single night, and sometimes I only get around four hours of sleep a night.

DT: What steps do you take to take care

of yourself while having little free time?

CW: As far as taking care of myself, I usually like to spend my time watching sports, playing video games, or any other activity where I can relax and unwind. I’m usually around a ton of people for most of my commitments, so I like to relax and unwind by myself.

DT: How do you cope during finals week? What does finals week usually look like for you? CW: Finals week is always rough for me. I usually just push all the way to the end, take my three days of stress in stride and wait until all my exams are over to have a day of de-stress-

INTERVIEW

Regina Maze: Outside of class, I work 25 hours a week at a law firm, am involved in Women of Excellence (albeit less involved compared to years prior), and I also am writing a thesis. I work out six out of seven days a week, and up until recently I was also studying for the LSAT and applying to law school.

working out, being active, and eating relatively healthy. This keeps my stress levels lower, helping me operate at my best and prevents me from getting sick! Some days I have to step back and acknowledge that I need a break, so I’ll do something with friends or just relax with watching some Netflix. Opening up to my friends and mom about my stress also really helps!

be successful.”

RM: I have much less of a social life in the sense of going out, preferring to get better quality sleep because I only sleep close to 5 to 6 hours a night thanks to waking up at 4:30 every weekday morning to get a work out in. I’ve learned to prioritize my health (physical and mental) because if I can’t operate at my best I won’t be successful. I don’t get to be as involved in my organization due to an inflexible schedule, which is an unfortunate sacrifice. This semester especially, I haven’t done as much of the readings for class as I would usually do, just because of lack of time. I don’t skip class and I don’t call in to work, and I have only missed one deadline for assignments.

DT: What steps do you take to take care of yourself while having little free time? RM: I prioritize my fitness and health with

DT: If you could give one piece of advice to students on how to thrive during finals week, or in college in general, what would it be?

RM: Knowing what your schedule is going to be a week or two in advance is really important to start planning! Start studying early December, and schedule time to do so to help keep you proactive. Step back, take time to breathe, go to a yoga class, go work out, go volunteer somewhere. Do something completely unrelated to school to get your mind off it. Also, get good sleep! It does matter and is important. Lastly, plan on something after finals to reward yourself and give you something to motivate yourself.

INTERVIEW

Taking care of yourself makes hard work easier Daily Texan: What are your commitments at UT?

ing. While this probably isn’t the best way of going through finals week, I usually don’t like to relax until all of my commitments are over.

Sometimes, there isn’t balance — that’s okay Daily Texan: What are your commitments at UT?

Eugene Han: I’m a third year student from a small town called Coppell, Texas. I’m currently working on my degree in Business Honors from McCombs. After joining the Undergraduate Business Council my first semester here, I’ve been committed to serving the business school alongside a group of 100 other brilliant and exceptionally different students. When I have downtime, I can really get lost in building a championship team for Fantasy Football and laying off the pounds at the gym. I’ve also enjoyed hosting campus-wide events and immersing myself in community service through the Texas Blazers. Through my work with Consult Your Community, I quickly developed an interest for management consulting after working with underserved businesses, non-profits and startups in the Austin community through pro-bono projects. To go scratch this itch, next summer I will be working as an Associate Consultant Intern with Bain & Company in Dallas, Texas.

DT: How do you balance everything?

EH: To be very honest, there isn’t a lot of balance. Surely I can stay organized with my Google Calendar and make sure I’m not missing any of my responsibilities. However, as long as my schedule is packed, that means I have less time to spend on other commitments. It’s imperative that people realize when they’re in auto-pilot mode throughout the semester. Being intentional about your time will help. The work hard, play hard model works in this case, but it can be draining. Usually sleeping in on the weekends helps me recharge.

DT: Are there things you have to prioritize, such as especially difficult classes or a job you depend on?

EH: I find myself prioritizing my time with my involvements outside of the classroom. I genuinely prefer to spend a larger chunk of my time with various friends, communities, and organizations on a daily basis. This is only problematic because when there’s an exam for MIS “Killer K” 333K, I shift gears and suddenly I’m sacrificing a lot of sleep. Regardless, college has been much more fun and meaningful to me with this model, and I’ve managed to hit the books when I need to.

DT: What steps do you take to take care of yourself while having little free time?

EH: The best thing I can do for myself is to mentally be in a positive place throughout stressful times while fueling my brain and body with a lot of food. I don’t have any explicit steps, but as long as I break a problem down into bite-size chunks and take it step-by-step, it’s much more manageable. Browsing the right memes usually lays the pressure down a few notches.

DT: How do you cope during finals week? What does finals week usually look like for you?

EH: Finals week is usually pretty bad because of all the projects that are also due on top of the exams. If I’m studying for an exam, I’m definitely situated in the NRG Productivity Center, a study facility for McCombs students. After I get myself a nice cubicle in NRG, everything else on my list of things to do becomes streamlined. Also, the chilled black coffee from the vending machines is an essential resource for finals week.

DT: If you could give one piece of advice to students on how to thrive during finals week, or in college in general, what would it be?

EH: It’s really important that you are proactive about gauging your happiness and level of fulfillment. If you are genuinely not happy with something or disagree with the way something is run, lead the change you’re looking for and transform the norm. If you’ve tried your best, learn to let go of some commitments. That being said, if you’ve been able to manage a busy lifestyle with an array of responsibilities, keep doing you and don’t let go of the things you enjoy doing. Just be honest with yourself and make sure you aren’t wasting your own time. Lastly, if you’re worried about not getting the right grade during finals, not landing the dream internship or getting rejected from something, don’t let it affect your confidence. It’s not a statement about your character. You can really lay the pressure down when you detach your self-worth from a grade, job title or acceptance.

EVENT PREVIEW

Head ogre heels for ‘Shrek’ movies

Campus E+E puts on ‘Shrek’ double feature to help students de-stress and relax for finals. By Noah Levine @ZProductionz

hrek fans are about to be head ogre heels when Dec. 4 rolls around. As students are swamped with finals, Campus Events + Entertainment Showtime provides an escape to happily ever after. “Shrek X Shrekwest,” a play on the title South By Southwest, offers a screening of 2001’s “Shrek” and will be followed by an intermission filled with “Shrek”-themed trivia, snacks and karaoke. The night will close out with a screening of 2004’s “Shrek 2.”

Shannon Weidner, English junior and public relations officer for E+E Showtime, said the Shrek-themed event started out as a joke. “We have a lot of members in Showtime that really like ‘Shrek,’” Shannon said. “It kind of started out as a joke, and then somebody added on, ‘we’re gonna call it Shrek by Shrek West!’ It kind of just evolved into this massive event.” “Shrek” has been available long enough that it exists as a VHS tape, yet there is still an audience for the computer-animated film. The film has maintained its popularity by appealing to a sense of nostalgia, Graeme Gorra, government junior and a member of E+E’s planning team, said. “Shrek” plays with familiar tropes and fairytales to make the film more enjoyable. “‘Shrek’ has a lot of nostalgia attached to it,” Greene said. It has a lot of fairy tale subversions and changes around some tropes that really makes it last. We, in college, can still watch it and fully enjoy it.” Radio-television-film (RTF) freshman Colin Spalten is planning on attending the Shrektastic event. As a fan of the films, Colin talked about

how Shrek seemed like a concept that wouldn’t work, it ended up being very funny. “When you look at ‘Shrek’ and the time it was made, there’s no way it should’ve worked, and yet, it’s perfectly cast,” Colin said. “The jokes go beyond just being funny and extend to a whole other realm.” Another RTF freshman, Emily Poprik, said that “Shrek” was a great film for its time and helped to spotlight animated films. “It was way ahead of its time,” Poprik said. “Compared to the other films that were coming out in 2001, it was so much better. It really jump started DreamWorks Animation.” While students are drowning in finals and last-minute exams, E+E Showtime hopes Shrek X Shrekwest will serve as a stress-reliever. Norma Perez Duran, a psychology junior and Shrek X Shrekwest event contributor, said that she hopes students can destress while watching “Shrek.” “Right now everybody’s a bit stressed, and ‘Shrek’ brings a little hope in us,” Perez said. “It makes us just relax and bring back memories from when we were younger —

simpler times.” Colin said he wants to attend so “(he) can appreciate “Shrek” with (his) entire campus and get to relive the magic.” As always, membership is free to

UT students, and students may bring one guest to the screening if they can present a valid UT ID. “We’re looking to finish this semester out with a bang,” Shannon said.

Central Texas Food Bank initiates ‘Stuff the Bus’ fundraiser By Libby Cohen @LibbyCohen211

This past September, the Department of Agriculture reported 14 percent of Texan families are considered food insecure, two percent above the national average. This holiday season, the Central Texas Food Bank has high expectations for their ability to feed hungry Austinites with their fundraiser Stuff the Bus. Whole Foods and Capital Metro are collaborating again for the seventh annual Stuff the Bus fundraiser to collect money and food donations for the Central Texas Food Bank. Running from Nov. 22 to Dec. 11, the effort is one of the biggest providers for the food bank all

year. The end goal is to have Capital Metro buses overflowing with donations at Austin Whole Foods. Amelia Long, director of community engagement for the Central Texas Food Bank, said they have a record-setting goal to collect a combination of money and food donations to provide 100,000 meals. The food bank disseminates these meals to mobile food sites such as soup kitchens, churches and pantries that are then put into the hands of Texans in need. “(Central Texans) are not always certain they are going to be able to get nutritious food,” Long said. “That means parents have to worry about their children going to bed hungry or not being able to focus at school.” According to Feeding

America, the biggest support organization for hungry Americans, the Central Texas Food Bank provides for 41,249,500 food insecure people in the 21 counties they serve. Stanley Clark is the senior pastor at the Travis Heights Christian Outreach, one of the mobile food sites that benefits from Stuff the Bus proceeds and is just under 10 miles south of campus. This pantry in particular provides for upwards of 8,000 hungry Austinites each month. “It’s very important to us to feed the hungry here where we are,” Clark said. “We are located around a lot of homeless and people in poverty.” Clark said the relationship between his food pantry and the food bank is critical because of

connections the food bank has with grocery stores. Because Whole Foods markets itself as “the healthiest grocery store in America,” Long said donations from this grocer are of value to the food bank because of the nutritional content such as high protein and low sodium foods. “We are working with (Whole Foods) on this food drive for our most needed items which are the healthiest and most nutritious items so we want to stock those as much as possible,” Long said. Chrissy Barnes worked at Whole Foods as a cashier for over a year now and said she sees more food donations than monetary donations at the register. “A lot of people round up

their change and that’s great because it adds up in the end,” Barnes said. “But more people are into picking out what they get to donate and put it themselves in the boxes outside.” The food bank will announce its donation totals on Dec. 18 as many students begin

leaving campus for the holidays. However, Long said any form of support is beneficial to the cause. “One of the ways people can get involved when they don’t have funds to give is to come out to our facility, take a tour and volunteer,” Long said.

FOOTBALL

New Years in New Orleans

Longhorns are Sugar Bowl bound after Big 12 Championsip Game loss. By Alex Briseño @AlexxBriseno

he stale taste from Texas’ 39-27 loss to then-No. 6 Oklahoma might have just gotten a little sweeter on Sunday morning. After back-to-back 5-7 seasons followed by a 7-6 finish in 2017, the No. 15 Texas Longhorns learned they have earned a bid to the Allstate Sugar Bowl against No. 5 Georgia at the Mercedes Superdome in

New Orleans. The team was less than 24 hours removed from the Big 12 Championship, but the Longhorns have plenty to celebrate knowing they will play in their first New Year’s Six game of the College Football Playoff era, which began in 2014. “The bowl experience for the student-athlete is supposed to be one where they can go and enjoy the fruits of their labor and enjoy something that may not be available to them had they not reached that bowl game,” head coach Tom Herman said on a Sugar Bowl conference call. “To get to do it at one of, if not the most prestigious and certainly most historic bowl games in college football history is a real treat, especially for our seniors.” How Texas got here Before Texas and Oklahoma kicked off the conference championship, Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby confirmed that Texas could get into the New

Year’s Six bowl even with a loss. The winner of the Big 12 Championship automatically secures the bid to the Sugar Bowl, but with the Sooners launching into the College Football Playoff, the Longhorns now fill in for the New Year’s Six matchup. And all of a sudden, the senior class has taken the program from missing a bowl game to the Texas Bowl and now a New Year’s Six game. “It’s really big for our team and us seniors,” defensive tackle Chris Nelson said. “To have a chance to leave a legacy on the program and get it back to the level Texas needs it to be at is special.” Herman headed to Waterloo, Iowa for a recruiting trip right after the Big 12 title game, but he says he watched the SEC Championship, which featured one of the best teams in the country and SEC powerhouse, No. 5 Georgia. “I watched their championship game, and I know what a

formidable opponent Georgia will be,” Herman said. How Georgia got here The Bulldogs were one spot away from reaching the College Football Playoff. Georgia was closer to beating No. 1 Alabama than any other team the Crimson Tide have played all season. The Bulldogs held a 14-point lead over the defending champions, and after Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa went down with an ankle injury in the fourth quarter, Georgia appeared to be setting itself up for an upset victory. Then, Alabama backup quarterback and former starter Jalen Hurts entered the game. Hurts not only tied the game, but also scored the game-winning touchdown with just over a minute left. Despite the loss, Georgia still had an argument for the fourth and final spot in the playoff. Georgia head coach Kirby Smart made sure to pitch their case

immediately after the game. “It boils down to one thing: Do you want the four best teams in our not? It’s that simple,” Smart said during the postgame press conference. “… Give that coach across the sideline a vote for who he doesn’t want to play. It’ll start with us. I promise you he doesn’t want to play us. It’s not our decision, it’s their decision.” It’s fair to say Georgia isn’t looking at this Sugar Bowl matchup on Jan. 1 quite the same as Texas is, but the Bulldogs will have a shot to prove to the selection committee why they should have been in the playoff and Texas will get another opportunity to take down an SEC opponent in a bowl game for the second consecutive year. Texas and Georgia will kickoff from the Superdome in New Orleans at 7:45 p.m. on New Year’s Day. Students have the opportunity to request tickets at 5 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 7.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL | TEXAS 47-69 MISSISSIPPI STATE

Sloppy start results in Longhorns’ first loss of season By Stephen Wagner @stephenwag22

Midway through the second quarter, Destiny Littleton split a double team and crafted her way across half-court. She hesitated for a moment at the three-point line, caught her defender off-guard and drove to the basket for an attempted floater. It was one of only a few bright spots for the Longhorns up to that point in the game, but she was immediately called for an

offensive foul. It re-emphasized a common theme for the Longhorns on Sunday afternoon: even when things were looking up, Texas just couldn’t catch a break in their 67-49 defeat against Mississippi State. But the Longhorns’ struggles revolved around more than just bad luck. The Bulldogs dominated the paint, the turnover battle, and the offensive glass — the three things Mississippi State head coach Vic Schaefer described as the formula for winning on

the road. The Bulldogs, who held the Longhorns to their lowest point total since February 2016, commanding all three categories by causing 22 turnovers, outrebounding Texas, 35-30, and outscoring the Horns, 48-28, in the paint. “They came out of the gates and punched pretty hard,” Karen Aston said after the game. “They kept us from getting into any type of offensive rhythm at all. Their pressure and their ability to disrupt our offense kept us from

getting any kind of paint touches.” While Texas was able to hang with Mississippi State to start the game, a quick 10-0 run to end the first quarter gave the Bulldogs the slight separation they needed to go up 18-9. The second quarter didn’t fare much better for the Horns, as the Bulldogs dominated the paint to outscore Texas 28-8 in the first half. But Texas didn’t help its size problem in many other areas, committing 14 first-half turnovers in addition to being out-hustled for loose balls on numerous occasions. “There were so many times tonight that we just stood there and watched

Mississippi State go get the ball, and honestly that’s not even indicative of one of my teams,” Aston said. “I’ve never had teams that struggled to play hard.” Guard Sug Sutton, who had a team-high 16 points and five assists, was equally critical of the team’s lack of effort. “It’s all about effort right now,” Sutton said. “In my opinion, we aren’t giving enough effort. In two months, I hope that we’re playing as a team and giving effort every possession. That’s the team we need to be in two months, and going into the future I think we will be that type of team.” Center Jatarie White, who was given the literal tall task of defending

Mississippi State’s Teaira McCowan, struggled to make her presence felt in any way. White’s usually imposing presence on the glass was wiped away by McCowan, who held White to only two rebounds for the game. “She’s just a really physical girl,” White said of McCowan, who set the total career rebounding mark for Mississippi State on Sunday. “She’s a handful but I think that she’s a really good player.” The Longhorns face another tall task Sunday when they welcome perennial powerhouse Tennessee to the Frank Erwin Center for their second matchup of the SEC/Big 12 Challenge. Tip-off is set for 12 p.m.
