  • Once a National Powerhouse, Texas Athletics Turns to Gimmicks Over Talent By: Kayla Jacob
    Once a National Powerhouse, Texas Athletics Turns to Gimmicks Over Talent By: Kayla Jacob Winners must know they cannot be winners all the time. As college athletics has become more competitive both on the field and commercially, powerhouses such as the University of Texas at Austin are under pressure to keep fans in the stands even when teams are lacking on the scoreboard. And that applies to both men and women’s athletics. “When I was playing, I happened to be blessed enough to be in the era (at UT) where everything was good,” said Cat Osterman, a UT Sports Hall of Fame and All-American softball pitcher. “So you didn’t really have to promote as much as you promoted or work now. Because everyone was winning.” Osterman played at UT from 2002 to 2006 and took a break in 2004 to participate in the Olympics. During that time, UT was playing in championships left and right. Almost every team was a perennial powerhouse and every team was making it into the Top 10. In 2001 the baseball team won the College World Series and women’s softball went to three College World Series. In 2003 both men’s and women’s basketball teams make it to the Final Four. Jeritt Elliot, now the women’s volleyball head coach, was just hired and every year they were getting a step further. In 2005 Texas football won its first ever Rose Bowl. “While I was there,” Osterman said, “Everyone was succeeding and, of course, your fans and your city feed off of success.” Now, at the end of the fall 2019 football season, Texas football is unranked.
