Longhorns misspell 'Texas' in their 2014 football media guide

You would think that anyone handling media relations for the University of Texas football team would have the spelling of "Texas" down pat. Not only does the squad share the name with the great state, it says "Texas" on the team's jerseys ... and probably every single piece of stationery within their athletic department in Austin.

Still, when the Longhorns published their annual media guide online Thursday, there was a glaring typo; the footer on each page of player bios read: "www.texsasports.com." With as many eyeballs as there are on the storied Big-12 program, the typo was quickly caught and fixed by the UT staff. But not before linguistic sticklers and Sooners fans seized the opportunity to capture screenshots and mock the error.

In the wake of the blunder, the domain www.texsasports.com seems to have been purchased by an opportunistic Oklahoma fan to broadcast a fitting message on the Red River rivalry.

This reminds me of a few years back when the Florida Gators graced the cover of their media guide with the picture of a giant....Crocodile! That one was mailed out before anybody caught it. A clear indication that yankee transplants have taken over the state of Florida because any Florida native would have known the difference immediately.
