Quotes:

This week, the Longhorns embarked on the journey of establishing a new identity as the team looks toward the 2011 season. The majority of returning players were meeting their new coaches for the first time and with fresh faces on both sides of the ball, the coaching staff seemed just as eager to get a look at their new charges. Both groups could not contain their enthusiasm about getting back on the field and returning to work.

“It’s something that we’ve all taken personally,” Gilbert said. “[Last season] is something that we have to use as motivation.  We’re held to a higher standard here, and I think everyone in this building knows that and knows that we have to get back to work starting this week.”

My thoughts:

I see a common theme throughout the players quotes, accountability. It's something that has been lacking for quite some time. I'm happy to see these players excited about the new beginning and direction. Work hard young horns and good things will come. You've got great coaches.

Hook 'em!!!
